By managing the producer-funded Ohio Dairy Research Fund and providing input on OSU Extension dairy research, ODPA helps dairy producers make advancements in areas like animal health, nutrition, and manure management.

The Ohio Dairy Research Fund was developed to support practical dairy research by voluntary dairy producer contributions that ultimately contributes to a viable and successful Ohio dairy industry.

With the permission of the producer, one-tenth of one percent of the gross milk check can be deducted each month by your milk-purchasing company to support dairy research.
