Plattsburgh Press features NNYADP dairy research

Automatic cluster research project leader: QMPS veterinarian Paul D. Virkler

Click here to see “Giving a hand to bovine biology,” an article by Plattsburgh Press Republican Editor Suzanne Moore on the Northern New York Agricultural Development Program research project evaluating how adjusting the flow rate of milk in dairy milking parlors increases cow comfort and farm labor efficiency while maintaining milk production levels.

Moore spoke with Northern New York dairy farmers about the value of the research and the resulting positive impacts to their cows and their farms.
