Abstract

A random sampling of 809 dairy herds were surveyed by telephone to determine their attitudes, awareness, and practices regarding dairy quality assurance (QA). Some very predictable and some very surprising results will be discussed. Implications for dairy practitioners and their clients also will be discussed in this presentation.
