fat EBV necessitates 0.26% less animals in order to stay below fat quota (i.e. 1 kg quota/ average cow fat yield); therefore, a 1 kg gain in fat can be expressed as a decrease of 11.52 kg CO2eq output via herd structure (4 471.49 kg CO2eq/cow * 0.26% fewer cows in the herd...
On the farm, the environmental impact of producing a gallon of milk in 2017 shrunk significantly from 2007, requiring 30% less water, 21% less land and a 19% smaller carbon footprint.He credits the cows’ ability for consuming plants and byproducts not fit for human consumption to produce ...
as cows fed SO diets proportionally produced more standardised and non-standardised milk with higher efficiency than those fed FO diets (P < 0.05). However, dietary SP did not affect milk yield and efficiency (P > 0.05). Concentrations and yields of milk fat and true protein, as w...
The effects of residual energy intake on nutrient use, methane emissions and microbial composition in dairy cows ArticleOpen access05 January 2024 Forage sources in total mixed rations on rumen fermentation, gut fill, and development of the gastrointestinal tract of dairy calves ...
The Impact of Climate Change on Livestock Production and Reproduction: Ameliorative Management Environmental stress has adverse effects on health status of dairy animals and decreases the milk production and reproductive performance of dairy cows resulting in huge economic losses. Global climate change is ...
At this moment, farmers lack accurate insight into the impact of their management on the functioning of these cycles. We therefore developed the model ANCA, based on the results of the pilot farm network 'Cows & Opportunities' and the experimental farm 'De Marke'. The ANCA model quantifies ...
Impact of Heat Stress on the In-Line Registered Milk Fat-to-Protein Ratio and Metabolic Profile in Dairy Cows The aim of our study was to investigate and quantify the impact of heat stress on the milk fat-to-protein ratio (F/P) and the metabolic profile in dairy co... R Antanaitis,...
Cows in the high space group produced significantly more milk than those in the control space group and the impact of living space on milk yield was conditional on cow parity and days in milk. For visualisation, model results are illustrated in Fig.1b. Model estimates were combined with the...
Effect of genotype and feeding regime on enteric methane, non-milk nitrogen and performance of dairy cows during the winter feeding period The objective of the study was to determine the effect of genotype and feeding regime on enteric methane production, non-milk nitrogen and production perfo......
