The University of New Hampshire Dairy club will be hosting a statewide Dairy Day April 22nd, at the Fairchild Teaching and Research Center on the UNH campus. This will be an educational event geared towards members that are 13-18 years old, but all members are welcome.
Registration Form is available in the "What's New" box on the website at http://extension.unh.edu/4H/4H.htm
Dairy Day will provide a chance for leaders and club members to tour the UNH Dairy Facilities, learn about the current research that is being done at UNH, and advance your knowledge of Dairy Science. We will be running six, twenty-five minute workshops. The workshops will be run by current undergraduate and graduate students.
Workshops that will be available to participants:
• Calf management – How to make sure your calf has a healthy start.
• Rumen health – yes, you will get to put your hand inside a cow’s stomach!
• Milking Procedures – What to do and why it is important.
• Life as a UNH Dairy Management Major
• Judging and showmanship
• Dairy Diseases
Schedule of Events
8:30 – 9:00 AM – Registration. During this time you will be assigned a specific group that you
will travel with through the workshops.
9:00 AM – Noon – Participants will travel through the workshops set up around the Fairchild
Teaching and Research Center.
Noon – The UNH Dairy Club will provide a BBQ lunch for all participants!
We believe that all participants of the UNH Dairy Day will take home a greater understanding of dairy science and what the UNH Dairy Management program future students. Because we are providing lunch, we do need a head count of how many people plan on attending. Please use the form on the attached page to register. Registration Deadline is April 10th.
