Vermont DHIA

The learning center is a place where dairy producers, their consultants, DHIA technicians, and other visitors to the site can find out more about DHI records, the DHIA system, and how DHI can benefit members of the dairy industry.

In the Learning Center you'll find recent articles by Vermont DHIA staff and our industry partners that have appeared in Country Folks weekly newspaper or other publications, as well as articles by National DHIA and Quality Certification Services that have appeared in Northeast Dairy Business magazine.  Often these articles discuss topics relating to the use and understanding of DHIA records, the value of DHIA records to producers, ways to improve the records you collect, and news and events from Vermont DHIA.

In the DHIA records section you can browse various links that relate to the history of DHIA records, since they began in the late 1800's.
