Information needs of the dairy industry for health and nutrition management.
Current DHI records usage is demonstrated with lactation curves, peak milk production versus rolling average peak milk production, and linear score monitoring sensitivity. Suggestions for the future of DHI records include national congruity, reduction in DHI fees, increased use of electronic transfer of information, increased availability of records from all testing centers, decreased use of DHI supervisors, milk urea nitrogen testing, and tracking of metabolic diseases.
