Flavour is composed principally of the sensations of smell and taste, although the senses of sight, touch and hearing interact with those of smell and taste. Whereas the sense of taste is relatively simple, having only four modalities, bitter, salt, sour and sweet (with perhaps astringent, hot...
The results of the present study indicate that if prices were set by kilogram instead of per calf, dairy farmers would be more prone to supply more milk to the surplus calves they sell to beef fattening units. Increasing the milk allowance is likely to make calves less susceptible to diseases...
Recent changes to the CAP are likely to encourage more extensivegrazing managementin sheep and beef systems, but with a continuing trend towards intensification ofdairy farming. These changes are likely to have both positive and negative ecological impacts, depending on the location, nature and extent...
Furthermore, PROC GLM of SAS was used to regress the electronic scale body weight on the forefront weight scale body weight for each calf. A total of 600 weight observations were used for statistical analysis. The Pearson correlation of the electronic scale compared to the forefront weight scale...
Table 2 shows a high interest in hoof trimming and calf colostrum management. Monitoring and early detection of diseases, like health and fertility characteristics of cows, as well as a tailored manure application and crossbreeding with beef cattle belonged to the top six choices, albeit with lower...
Basically, a dairy cow can produce $800 to $1000 in revenue for the dairy as soon as she drops a live crossbred calf, no matter what the milk price or margins are doing, and with her whole lactation in front of her. The Jan. 1 Inventory Report shows the U.S. beef herd continues...
We studied the associations between group size, serum acute phase proteins, immunoglobulin G (IgG), calf morbidity and growth of dairy-beef calves in a random field trial in a calf-rearing unit in Finland.Seppa-Lassila, LeenaOksanen, JarkkoHerva, TuomasDorbek-Kolin, ElisabethKosunen, HeliParvia...
All systems were sensitive to beef, calf and concentrate price variations. The main implications from this study are that, irrespective of the system, maximising the proportion of grazed grass in the diet and the percentage of live weight gain from grass while also maintaining a high carcass ...
Conclusions: Anthelmintic resistance was widespread on the sampled dairy calf to beef farms in Ireland with resistance to benzimidazole, levamisole, ivermectin and moxidectin detected.doi:10.1186/s13620-020-00167-xAnne C. KelleherBarbara GoodTheo de Waal...
