RESEARCH

The Dairy Center exists for three main reasons:

  • Education
  • Demonstration
  • Research

We are posting a compilation of our research to help dairy producers make more informed decisions on their own farms. If you have questions or would like to use this information in any way besides on your own farm, please contact the Dairy Foundation at (563)534-9957 ext 107 or Boylenk@portal.nicc.edu.

Topics covered in this Power Point presentation include:

  • Skin tests as a predictor of Johne’s Disease
