(KNOXVILLE, Tenn.) - A new source of information is available about Southeastern dairy production.

SoutheastDairyExtension.org is a database-driven Web site designed to serve as a portal to the vast amount of web-based dairy industry information. The site should be useful to producers, Extension personnel, researchers and 4-Her's throughout the Southeast.

The Web site is sponsored by the University of Tennessee Dairy Extension program and UT Department of Animal Science. It features links to many information-rich sites and is organized by topic. The format allows users to search using keywords. Entries provide detailed information about published dairy science papers, including the name of the information source, URL, author, year and a brief excerpt.
