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 excerpt: Milk has played a major contribution to the human diet in many different countries across the world since the dawn of time. The dairy cow was domesticated over 6000 years ago, she was the object of worship in the Middle East 2000 years before Christ, and milk and milk products are mentioned more than 50 times in the Bible. Milk and dairy products have become a major part of the human diet in many countries. It is not surprising therefore, that over many years considerable attention has been paid to improving the quality of milk. We have worked to improve the yield, the compositional quality and the hygienic quality, and have striven to minimise the level of contaminants which can find access to this, perhaps our most natural, unrefined and highly nutritious foodstuff. The chain of people involved in the milk industry extends from milk production-farmers, veterinarians and farm advisors-through transport to processing-quality controllers, manufacturers-and on to retailers, legislators, nutritionists, dairy educators and consumers. All will be interested in the quality parameters of milk which are reg ularly measured for commercial reasons, for trade, for legal requirements and for reasons of nutrition.

Book Synopsis Effect of Positioning the Tie-rail to Follow the Natural Neck Line of Cows when Eating and Rising on the Welfare of Dairy Cows Housed in Tie-stall Barns by : Jessica St John
Download or read book Effect of Positioning the Tie-rail to Follow the Natural Neck Line of Cows when Eating and Rising on the Welfare of Dairy Cows Housed in Tie-stall Barns written by Jessica St John and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A majority of dairy farms in Canada are tie-stall barns, but few experimental studies have investigated ways to improve cow comfort through tie-stall design. Epidemiological studies have found that tie-stall design may have an effect on dairy cow welfare. Our objective was to investigate tie-rail positions and develop new recommendations that combine both height and forward positions to improve dairy cow welfare. Four treatments were tested: two new tie-rail positions that follow the natural neck line of cows (Neckline1, Neckline2), Current Recommendation, and the tie-rail position commonly found on farm. Forty-eight cows blocked by parity and stage of lactation were divided between two start dates and randomly allocated to a treatment for 10 weeks. Live scoring was performed weekly to evaluate: injury, cow and stall cleanliness, bedding quantity, and body condition. Lameness scoring was performed weekly through video observation. Milk yields were recorded at each milking and milk samples were collected weekly to evaluate milk components. Feeding/rumination time was recorded continuously using ear-mounted activity data loggers. Resting behaviours were continuously recorded using leg mounted accelerometers. Cows were recorded 1 d/wk by overhead cameras and 6 lying and rising events were evaluated per recording. The tie-rail positions tested did not have an effect on cow and stall cleanliness, bedding quantity, body condition, lameness, milk yield and components, feeding/rumination time, rising and lying ability, and resting behaviour. However, Current Recommendation (difference from wk 0: +0.9 ± 0.16) had an increase in proximal neck injuries compared to Neckline2 (+0.1 ± 0.15). Neckline2 (+0.8 ± 0.16) and Neckline1 (+0.5 ± 0.16) had an increase in medial neck injuries compared to the Current Recommendation (-0.1 ± 0.18). All treatments showed a decrease over time in average lying intention time (-5.9 s/event), lying-down time (-1.1 s/event), contact with stall (-32.5 %) and slipping (-9.4 %) during lying motion. All treatments showed a decrease over time in average backwards movement on knees (-10.8 %;) and contact with tie-rail (-14.3 %) during rising motion and overall abnormal rising (-15.7 %). Although, lying and rising ability improved over time, the prevalence of abnormal lying and rising was still high in the long-term for all treatments; for example, in the long-term, cows still came in contact with the stall dividers or tie-rail 42.3% of the time during lying motion. Results suggest that the injury location on the neck shifts based on tie-rail placement. Further research is needed to improve stall design to reduce injuries and abnormal lying and rising behaviours. For instance, studies investigating alternative options to stall design such as a different material apposed to metal bars (e.g., a flexible bar or chain) and/or increasing the tie-rail forward position even further may reduce contacts between the bar and the cows. Alternatively, housing options providing fewer obstacles in the cow's environment through the elimination of stall hardware should be investigated such as a deep-bedded pack or compost pack." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REBHUN'S DISEASES OF DAIRY CATTLE, 2nd Edition is your all-in-one guide to bovine disease management. With thorough, up-to-date coverage of differential diagnosis methods, surgical and therapeutic treatment options, and prevention strategies, it provides vital information for battling bovine diseases in both dairy and non-dairy cattle. The book is organized by body system for quick, convenient reference, and this new edition meets the growing need for management of both diseases of individual cows and problems affecting whole herds. Individual case presentations provide a valuable tool for differential diagnosis. Practical overviews for procedures such as blood transfusion, abdominal paracentesis, and ECG give you reliable support for some of the most common procedures in bovine care. Body systems organization makes diagnosis easier and more effective by isolating system-specific diseases and conditions. Full-color design and over 200 new photographs depict disease processes in realistic clarity and ensure the most accurate diagnosis and treatment. Emphasis on herd health addresses the dairy industry's increased concern over population medicine. Expanded coverage of lameness highlights key problem areas in bovine feet. Revised drug usage recommendations and legal considerations present the most current information in these critical areas to help you prevent dangerous or costly errors. Additional public health/safety considerations identify diseases that pose a substantial public threat and detail special measures for related care of dairy cattle. New, innovative DVD features real-time videos of neurologic case studies, ultrasound and endoscopy procedures, and imaging techniques that familiarize you with the latest technological equipment and protocols. Features coverage of the latest treatment innovations including antibiotic residue testing, care of individual metabolic disease, troubleshooting, and much more.
