U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Henry Cantwell Wallace, a dairy specialist, expanded the USDA's Dairy Division by reorganizing it as the Bureau of Dairying on July 1, 1924. Two years later, the name of the agency changed to the Bureau of Dairy Industry. The Bureau consisted of five major divisions: the Dairy Research Laboratories; Market Milk Investigations; Breeding, Feeding, and Management; Dairy Herd Improvement Investigations; and Dairy Manufacturing Investigations and Introduction. In 1954, the USDA abolished the Bureau of Dairy Industry. Its functions were transferred to the Agricultural Research Service (ARS). Non-regulatory functions were assigned to the Dairy Husbandry Research Branch, and regulatory functions went to the Meat Inspection Branch.
