The Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine’s Field Service Veterinary Medicine Dairy Group are currently involved in a variety of projects, including:

  • A study in bedding materials for dairy cows, which looks at the value of recycled sand versus organic compounds
  • Several on-farm investigations looking into metabolic problems, poor production and mastitis
  • Active research on the study of mechanisms for minimizing disease transmission from colostrum and waste milk.
