College in New York acquired the robotic milkers prior to UConn, Con- necticut's flagship state university was the nation's first school to house the technology on campus, Zinn said. Meantime, there are more than 35,000 robotic milkers in operation worldwide. Notoriety surrounding UConn's dairy herd is nothing new. In recent years, the Hoard Dairyman, a popu- lar dairy farming publication, named UConn's herd one of the top 20 out of about 47,000 in the U.S. UConn has also scored numerous awards for milk quality over the last decade from Agri-Mark and the Pro- gressive Breeders Registry, which rec- ognizes the nation's top herds under the Holstein Association, the world's largest dairy breed association. "We have a dairy manager and staff who pay very close attention to the health of the cows and the health of the udder and the quality of the milk," Zinn said of the center's success. Zinn says his dairy team is working to fully optimize the robotic milking data. In support, UConn faculty have already applied for a $1.5 million federal grant under the umbrella of the National Sci- ence Foundation and U.S. Department of Agriculture. The grant will enable UConn to retrofit video cameras to each cow and develop new management systems. The hope is, he said, UConn will secure the annual funding before the advanced technology becomes common among research universities. >> Ahead of the Pack continued
