Book excerpt: "Cows send out signals continuously about their health, well-being, nutrition, and production. The challenge for the dairy farmer is how to interpret these signals and use them. Dutch vet and cow enthusiast Jan Hulsen has drawn on his expertise and wide experience of cows and dairy farmers to write Cow Signals: a richly illustrated farmer's guide on how to interpret the behaviour, posture and physical characteristics of groups of cows and individual animals. When observing cows it is important not to jump to conclusions immediately, but instead always to ask yourself three questions: What do I see? Why has this happened? What does this mean? If you know what to look for, you can pick up the signals everywhere and any time. Cow Signals will show you how"--Back cover note.
Book Synopsis Periparturient Diseases of Dairy Cows by : Burim N. Ametaj
Download or read book Periparturient Diseases of Dairy Cows written by Burim N. Ametaj and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the results achieved so far by application of various biological systems (including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) involved in the pathomechanisms and early diagnosis of periparturient diseases as specific biomarkers of disease in cattle. These emerging technologies help to extensively enhance our understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of periparturient diseases of transition dairy cows. The book includes a chapter dedicated to ‘omics’ sciences and one that discusses the myths established in animal and veterinary sciences in recent decades and emerging, new paradigms. The diseases discussed include metritis, mastitis, laminitis, ketosis, rumen acidosis, periparturient immunosuppression, gastrointestinal microbiota and their involvement in disease, infertility, fatty liver, milk fever, and retained placenta. This book is intended for academics, veterinarians, animal nutritionists, researchers, and graduate students working in the field of ‘omics sciences’ with a special interest in dairy cattle health.

Book Synopsis Pathways to Health and Disease for Dairy Cows by : Rik A.M. Hendriks
Download or read book Pathways to Health and Disease for Dairy Cows written by Rik A.M. Hendriks and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-27 with total page 930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to support dairy farmers in adjusting their management regarding the transition period of dairy cows? The book Pathways to health and disease for dairy cows provides veterinarians and farm advisors background information and practical tools. This unique book combines theoretical information with practical tools, and draws crosslinks between six aspects of transition cow biology. The book comprises two parts: an introduction chapter and six study chapters. The first chapter outlines new ideas about the role of management in dairy farming: - External conditions, comprising environment and farm management, continuously influence the internal body management of the cow. - External conditions either support physiology or induce pathophysiology and pathology, for which new definitions are introduced. - Advisory work on dairy farms must be based on the management of external conditions and not on herd performance data. The six study chapters focus on the transition period and provide the reader with updated contemporary knowledge on (patho)physiology and pathology, and how they connect with risk factors, preventive measures, and monitoring tools. Veterinarians and farm advisors must make a professional U-turn to support dairy farmers in solving and preventing disturbances in health and production. This book must be regarded as a start for resetting our traditional view and approach to cow health and disease.
Book Synopsis The Effect of the Social Environment on Transition Dairy Cow Behavior and Health by : Katherine C. Creutzinger
Download or read book The Effect of the Social Environment on Transition Dairy Cow Behavior and Health written by Katherine C. Creutzinger and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period around parturition poses multiple threats to dairy cattle welfare. Dairy cows are at a high risk of metabolic and infectious disease within the first few weeks after calving. Additionally, dairy cows in many commercial dairies are housed in maternity pens which are designed for the ease of management. The design of maternity areas for human use has given little consideration to the expression of maternal behaviors. This thesis addresses two main themes that are currently missing from transition cow literature: 1) the impact of prepartum bedded-pack housing on transition cow health, and 2) using behavior to improve management and housing practices. Chapter 2 gives context to the two themes by providing an overview of current group housing practices for prepartum and parturient cows, peripartum health, and maternal behaviors. To address the first theme, Chapter 3 explores the relationship between prepartum bedded-pack housing and periparturient cow metabolic and infectious disease. Results suggest that increasing lying space from approximately 9.7 m2 to 19.4 m2 per cow in group maternity pens had minimal effects on cow health during the transition period, and providing a blind for cows to seek seclusion at calving did not negatively affect health outcomes. Chapters 4 and 5 address the second theme, and provide evidence that dairy cattle housed in indoor group maternity pens perform exploratory behavior and separate from other cows as calving approaches, and seek calving areas which offer additional coverage. Cows with less space allowance (approximately 9.7 m2 vs. 19.4 m2 per cow) were closer to other cows before and during calving, indicating that space restrictions may limit the ability to perform maternal behaviors. Additionally, length of stage II labor was shortest in pens with greater space allowance and a blind, providing some evidence that normal calving progression is influenced by the cows’ calving environment. Collectively, these results suggest a better understanding of parturient cow behavior can be used to improve housing; and provide initial data to understand the effects of group maternity pen housing on the health of peripartum dairy cows.

Book Synopsis Transition Period in Cows: Nutrition, Metabolism and Metabolic Disease by : Leilson Bezerra
Download or read book Transition Period in Cows: Nutrition, Metabolism and Metabolic Disease written by Leilson Bezerra and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-11 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition period consists of two phases, the first being formed by last three weeks before calving and the second by the first three weeks postpartum. This period is marked by metabolic diseases affecting cows. The heat increment promoted by higher energy demand that occurs during the transition period between the end of lactation and early management, combined with low dry matter intake due to fetal growth major and consequent reduced ability of the rumen, make the dairy cow highly susceptible to the metabolic diseases ketosis, milk fever and hepatic lipidosis. The increase in blood concentrations of non-esterifies fatty acids during this transition period appear to be linked to the onset of these disorders and this can be explained by the high energy mobilization because of the negative energy balance. Diets with high energy density during this period are extremely necessary to minimize the effects of negative energy balance. In addition it is recommended to feed the animals with foods smaller particles, precursors of glucose, such as propylene glycol or starchy concentrates, protected fat and vegetable oils that do not degrade the ruminal microorganisms.
Book Synopsis Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics by : Kenneth R. Valpey
Download or read book Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics written by Kenneth R. Valpey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides both a broad perspective and a focused examination of cow care as a subject of widespread ethical concern in India, and increasingly in other parts of the world. In the face of what has persisted as a highly charged political issue over cow protection in India, intellectual space must be made to bring the wealth of Indian traditional ethical discourse to bear on the realities of current human-animal relationships, particularly those of humans with cows. Dharma, yoga, and bhakti paradigms serve as starting points for bringing Hindu—particularly Vaishnava Hindu—animal ethics into conversation with contemporary Western animal ethics. The author argues that a culture of bhakti—the inclusive, empathetic practice of spirituality centered in Krishna as the beloved cowherd of Vraja—can complement recently developed ethics-of-care thinking to create a solid basis for sustaining all kinds of cow care communities.
