In this scenario, the dairy cow simply has no other option but to reduce resting time. It is perhaps not surprising then that time out of the pen milking was a significant factor for increased lameness prevalence in a recent survey of free stall herds (Espejo and Endres, 2007), ...
Grazing offers a potential to enhance welfare of dairy cows during the summer season, while beneficial effects are not guaranteed when management does not satisfy the animals′ needs. 展开 关键词: dairy cowsanimal welfaregrazingpastureWelfare Quality ?
This is increasingly causing the dairy farmers to have an image problem, as many consumers connect dairy cows with grazing. In addition, a direct correlation has been found between cow health and outdoor movement of the cows (Somers et al., 2003). Institutional activity gives us reason to ...
Welfare assessment of dairy cows by in-person farm visits provides only a snapshot of welfare and is time-consuming and costly. Possible solutions to reduce the need for in-person assessments would be to exploit sensor data and other routinely collected on-farm records. The aim of this study...
摘要: Both Cox proportional hazards regression models and Weibull regression models were employed, with similar results, indicating that a Weibull distribution may be a good approximation of the distribution of conception times in dairy cattle.关键词:...
Technology is making life easier for some dairy farmers. They use robotic systems to milk their cows. Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to milking stations. Only one cow at a time can enter a station. Once inside,the cow is rewarded with food. As the cow eats,a...
Plant-based milks are also great sources of hydration-promoting electrolytes, carbohydrates, protein, and fat—but it's best to look for fortified non-dairy substitutes that have the same nutritional properties as cow's milk. The potential hydrating effects of plant-based milk haven't been studi...
