This summer we’ve been gearing up for Dr. Bach’s first big research project where we are going to be looking at the association of milk ketones with milk quality and health in early lactation dairy cattle.
And, we should have known, with all new trials come tribulations.
For this trial, it was trying to figure out all the ins and outs of official milk sampling including acquiring all the equipment. Who would have thought that milk samplers and finding a particular set of milk cans could make a grad student and her summer staff so happy!?!
Be sure to stay tuned to see more of what’s in store this summer!
