Uses of Dairy Science CBF 08-09
In the 2008 – 2009 academic year the Dairy Science College Based Fee Committee recommended the following items for funding to enhance the academic programs in Dairy Science:
- New state of the art feed truck with computer interface capability. This truck allows for precision feeding and interfaces with the dairy’s record keeping software.
- Replacement computers for the Herd Records Room. The new computers will provide additional access and capability for Dairy Science students.
- E.I. Medical Imaging ultrasound machine. This device will be used in senior projects and for tasks such as pregnancy checking at the Cal Poly Dairy.
- Wood Shavings for student activities. Classes such as artificial insemination and the Los Lecheros Dairy Club use the livestock pavilion. The wood shavings are essential to make the room usable.
- Graduate student travel to scientific meetings was supported. It is essential for graduate students to participate in these meetings to make contacts and discuss issues in dairy science research.
- College Based Fee support for the Dairy Science Department’s Spring Banquet allows Dairy Science students to participate in this important event.
- The College Based Fee allocation for the American Dairy Science Student Affiliate Division supports students who participate in the Quiz Bowl Competition. Last year, Cal Poly’s team was the ADSA Quiz Bowl champions.
