Thanks @HoardsDairyman, for tweets from today's Wisc Dairy Field Reps Conference. Good info! #WDFRC
RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC FDA Inspecter Goldsmith: The teat-prep protocol should be issued by mfgr. State & producer need copy of that.
RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC FDA Inspector Donald Goldsmith: Main concern is that there is a teat-prep protocol copy on the farm.
RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC FDA Inspector Donald Goldsmith: FDA does not approve robots, we approve teat-prep protocols.
RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC Richert: Even in the conventional world, research has shown that 1/3 of mastitis cases will self-cure.
RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC Richert: There are no approved organic products that have shown conclusive evidence to have an effect on mastitis
RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC Richert: SCC avgs in study- Organic 198k; Conventional grazing 166k; Conv nongrazing 183k. Not sig. different.
RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC Richert: Organic dairy cattle in 2002: 67,207. 2008: 249,766. In Wisconsin, there are about 500 dairy farms.
RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC Richert: USDA allows natural products under organic regs However FDA has not apprvd any of those natural products
RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC Richert: Organic farmers must record animal I.D. and all treatments administered.

RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC Sipiorski: The head of the FDA equivalent in China gets sentenced to death when things go wrong with milk. Who wants that job next?

RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC Neubauer: Nat'l Dairy FARM prgm thru @nmpf is great resource. Booklet is online, has very useful residue section.
RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC Neubauer: Need written SOPs & to train employees, write down treatments daily, prevent first, and consult vets.
RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC Neubauer: We need more vets involved so more dairies have established a veterinary-client-patient relationship.
RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC Neubauer: We, dairy, have a very very low rate of mistakes. But R 300X that of beef. We can do a much better job.
RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC Neubauer: #Dairy industry is now under increased surveillance. Why? 1. EU demands it 2. concern for consumer...
RT @HoardsDairyman: #WDFRC Neubauer: We need to think about not only milk, but also the meat side, when it comes to antibiotic use.
