The Animal and Veterinary Science Intercollegiate National Dairy Challenge Team are Second Place Platinum award winners in the Fourth Annual North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge (NAIDC) held April 8-9, State College, Pa. The students received $100 scholarships. The event attracted 27 teams from the United States and Canada, challenging them to put their textbook and practical knowledge to the ultimate test - analyzing dairies. The format started with a walk-through at the dairies, followed by the opportunity to ask questions of the owners and analyze farm-specific data. Student teams used this information to develop management recommendations, and then presented their management recommendations to a panel of five dairy industry judges.
