Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Agricultural Extension
  • Animal Husbandry

Background:

  • Dairy farm employee training evaluation has historically focused on reaction and learning levels.
  • The impact of training on dairy farm employees' practical behavior remains understudied.
  • Best-practice routines are crucial for maintaining udder health and milk quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the effectiveness of online training in modifying dairy farm employee behavior.
  • To assess the adoption of best-practice routines related to udder health post-training.
  • To bridge the gap in evaluating training effectiveness beyond learning outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an interactive, 5-module online training course on udder health in English and Spanish.
  • Modules covered aseptic milk sampling, intramammary treatment, salable milk decisions, dry-off treatment, and teat sealant administration.
  • Assessed employee performance of dry cow treatment procedures using objective structured clinical examinations before and after training.

Main Results:

  • Online training demonstrated a positive impact on employee behavior regarding specific udder health practices.
  • Objective structured clinical examinations revealed improvements in the application of dry cow treatment protocols.
  • The study successfully measured behavioral changes, offering a new dimension to training evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • Online training is an effective tool for improving dairy farm employee behavior in udder health management.
  • Behavioral assessment provides a more comprehensive evaluation of training efficacy than traditional methods.
  • Implementing targeted online training can enhance the adoption of critical dairy farm best practices.
