Farmers from grazing farms expressed a high agreement with the positive aspects of grazing (low fodder costs, low labor input, benefits for animal health and fertility), while the all-year-housing farmers were more aware of the challenges and disadvantages of grazing and expressed a high agreement...
All the expenses, such as wages and the opportunity cost, are calculated in the total cost of the dairy plant, whereas dairy farmers do not mention these costs. Thus, in terms of benefits, farmers suffer more disadvantages, thus they should be received more value. In terms of management, ...
These products have several health benefits such as positive effects on bone and tooth health [1] cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure [2], contribution in body hydration and muscle repair after exercise [[3], [4], [5]] and diabetes type2 [6]. Furthermore it has been recently ...
The net costs were determined by only including costs and benefits, which varied between the 3 methods. The model simulated a cow from 7 d before the day of drying off until the end of the next lactation. The likelihood of whether a cow was leaking milk early in the dry period was ...
This approach has obvious benefits in that both the FFA and the triglyceride components can be analysed from a sample in a single extraction; however, a limitation of the procedure using the TMAH reaction was highlighted by Martínez-Castro et al. [33]. These authors noted that some FA(s) ...
摘要:A high prevalence of digital dermatitis (DD) and the benefits of early topical treatment highlight the need for simple tools for routine DD detection. The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy of scoring DD lesions using the 5 M-stage scoring system in the milking p...
Group practices have advantages and disadvantages. Effective management of the professional staff makes the most of the benefits and minimizes the drawbacks. Management does not mean controlling people; rather, it allows both the individual doctors and the practice as a whole attain maximum development...
Results suggest that providing some physical complexity to a standard hutch has some benefits for young calves, but further research is encouraged to determine the long-term effects of physical and social complexity for young dairy heifer calves. 原文传递 原文传递并翻译 示例 加入购物车 收...
benefits to the producer including less chance of over-conditioned heifers, decreased feed costs, and less waste production. Growth is targeted at 0.8kg/d while meeting all the needs of the post-weaned heifer. Over the entire period, crude protein is set at 14%–15% for heifers, while ...
The benefits of greater P4 on fertility were also observed in previous studies using E2/P4 protocols (Pereira et al., 2013a). Nevertheless, for cows that started the protocol with elevated P4, the increase in CL and new CL at PGF that was observed in the GnRH group did not translate ...
