2022 US Dairy Education Training Consortium

August 30th, 2022

Sixteen students are grouped together for a photo. They are wearing jeans and dark blue shirts. The U.S. Dairy Education and Training Consortium is superimposed in the photo at the bottom.

Recently, 19 Department of Animal Science students completed a 6-week course in Dairy Management, held in Clovis, New Mexico. They were part of the 50 students that attended the 14th US Dairy Education and Training Consortium from a total of 13 universities. The program, started in 2008, provides students an overview of the many facets associated with large dairy herd management. A major component of this year’s program focused on robotics and precision management associated with the dairy industry. A total of 27 students represented Texas A&M University, majoring in animal science, ag business, bio-engineering, biology and bio-medical science. Since the start of the program, 611 students have completed with about a third coming from TAMU. Students receive course credit for attending the program and counts as a production course in their degree plan. This is one of many learning opportunities in the department that gives students a chance to network while also learning industry and scientific information. Great job, Ags!
