Download or read book Grass Productivity: An Introduction to Rational Grazing written by Dr. Robert C. Worstell and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SIMPLE questions often help us to understand problems better; and I think it indispensable, at the beginning of this work, to ask a question which appears simple in the extreme: "What is grazing?" The answer is generally as follows: "Causing grass to be eaten by an animal." That is correct! But here is another answer which, to my mind, is more realistic: "Causing the grass and the animal to meet." Since this book is almost exclusively concerned with grazing by cattle, I propose the following definition to the reader, requesting him to allow it to become well impressed upon his mind: Grazing is the meeting of cow and grass. It is by satisfying as far as possible the demands of both parties that we will arrive at a rational grazing, which will provide us with maximum productivity on the part of the grass while at the same time allowing the cow to give optimum performance.

Download or read book Managing High Grade Dairy Cows in the Tropics written by John Moran and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2012 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dairy consumption in Asia has more than doubled over the last 25 years, and has led to more than 50% of the world's total dairy imports now entering Asian markets. Consequently, Asian countries are seeking to improve their self-sufficiency in dairy produce by developing their local milk industries. Asian livestock importers are looking for increasing numbers of high grade dairy stock from established dairy industries in countries such as Australia and New Zealand. Unfortunately, a major problem encountered throughout Asia has been the poor performance of these exotic high grade dairy heifers when exported from their country of origin to a new, more stressful environment. This has been due to a failure to prepare for their introduction. Exotic dairy cows, particularly those from farms with high levels of herd performance, have high management requirements. If subjected to local and traditional small holder dairy farm practices, they are unlikely to produce acceptable yields of milk or may not even get back into calf. Poor management practices can lead to low growth rates, delayed breeding, stock diseases and even deaths among imported stock both before and after first calving. Managing High Grade Dairy Cows in the Tropics addresses the entire range of management practices found on tropical small holder dairy farms, highlighting those which are likely to adversely impact on heifer and cow performance, hence farm profitability. It is a companion volume to two previous manuals written by John Moran: Tropical Dairy Farming and Business Management for Tropical Dairy Farmers.

Download or read book Effects of Forage Quality and Management Decisions on Feed Intake of Lactating Dairy Cows written by Michael Devin Miller and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dry matter intake (DMI) is one of the most important factors affecting lactational performance and health of dairy cows. Control of DMI in dairy cattle is complicated and multifactorial, but we have chosen to prioritize the two main components that primarily drive farm profitability: forage quality and cow comfort. Brown midrib-3 (BM3) genetics in corn silage typically result in greater fiber digestibility and less indigestible fiber, which result in greater DMI and milk production compared to conventional, non-BM (CON) corn silage. Trace minerals may negatively affect fiber digestion by solubilizing in the rumen. Importantly, hydroxy trace minerals (HTM) are less soluble in the rumen compared to sulfate sources (STM). Still, to-date, no models have inputs that reflect social environment factors such as stocking density and feeding frequency. The objectives of this dissertation were to: 1) evaluate the effect of source of corn silage and trace mineral on lactational performance, total tract digestibility (TTD) of nutrients, and rumen fermentation, and 2) create a model that accurately quantifies the effect of management decisions on DMI. The study addressing the first objective (Chapters 2 and 3) investigated the effects of source of corn silage (CON or BM3) and trace minerals (STM or HTM) on lactational performance, TTD of nutrients, and particle passage rates. Sixteen Holstein cows averaging 82 (SE = 3) days in milk were used in a replicated 4 x 4 Latin square design with a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. The dietary treatments were: 1) CON-STM, 2) CON-HTM, 3) BM3-STM, and 4) BM3-HTM. There was no significant interaction between corn silage and trace mineral for DMI and milk yield. Cows fed the BM3 diets had greater DMI and milk yield compared to the cows fed the CON diets. The cows fed the HTM diets had greater DMI than cows fed STM diets. The cows fed the BM3 diets had greater TTD of dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM) than cows fed the CON diets. Cows fed the HTM diets had a tendency for greater TTD of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) than the cows fed STM diets. Cows fed the BM3 diets had a faster passage rate of small- and medium-sized corn silage NDF particles than cows fed the CON diets. The study addressing the second objective (Chapter 4) created a model that accurately quantifies the effects of stocking density and feeding frequency on behavior and performance of lactating dairy cattle. The foundation of the management model was a time budget. The eating time was predicted using common on-farm measures (NDF content, physically effective NDF, body weight, and milk yield) and had a good predictive ability with a mean absolute error of 39 min/d regardless of parity. Stocking density affected lying time, which accounted for 76% of the variance in lying time. The adjusted lying time was then used to predict a milk yield, which accounted for 36% of the variance in milk yield. The peuNDF240 accounted for 60% of the variance in DMI. Brown midrib-3 corn silage enhanced DMI, milk yield, TTD of OM, and greater passage rate of corn silage particles. Hydroxy trace minerals improved DMI, tended to improve TTD of NDF. The management model appeared to be a useful tool, although more data and research are needed to validate the model. In the future, hopefully, both forage quality and management decisions will be included in the same nutritional model to predict feed intake more accurately.

Download or read book Keeping a Family Cow written by Joann S. Grohman and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cow is the most productive, efficient creature on earth. She will give you fresh milk, cream, butter, and cheese, build human health and happiness, and even turn a profit for homesteaders and small farmers who seek to offer her bounty to the local market or neighborhood. She will provide rich manure for your garden or land, and will enrich the quality of your life as you benefit from the resources of the natural world. Quite simply, the family that keeps a cow is a healthy family. Originally published in the early 1970s as The Cow Economy and reprinted many times over, Keeping a Family Cow has launched thousands of holistic small-scale dairy farmers and families raising healthy cows in accordance with their true nature. The book offers answers to frequently asked questions like, 'Should I get a cow?' and 'How Much Space do I need?' in addition to extensive information on: • The health benefits of untreated milk; • How to milk a cow effectively and with ease; • Choosing your dairy breed; • Drying off your cow; • Details on calving and breeding; • The importance of hay quality and how to properly feed your cow; • Fencing and pasture management; • Housing, water systems, and other supplies; • Treating milk fever and other diseases and disorders; • Making butter, yogurt, and cheese, and, of course . . . • . . . Everything else the conventional dairy industry doesn’t tell us! Now revised and updated to incorporate new information on the raw milk debate, the conversation about A1 vs. A2 milk, fully grassfed dairies, more practical advice for everyday chores, and updated procedures for cow emergencies. Keeping a Family Cow has not only stood the test of time, it still remains the go-to inspirational manual for raising a family milk cow nearly forty years after its first publication. Joann Grohman has a lifetime of practical experience that has been bound into this one volume and presented in the spirit of fun and learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blueprints for Tropical Dairy Farming provides insight into the logistics, infrastructure and management required for the development of small and large dairy farms in tropical developing countries. Farmers will learn how to improve the welfare, milk quality and productivity of their dairy herds. This book complements author John Moran’s five previous books on the principles of tropical dairy farming. The manual covers a wide range of topics related to ensuring the sustainability of dairy production systems in tropical developing countries, such as South and East Asia, Africa and Central America. It also provides guidelines for the best management practices of large-scale, more intensive dairy systems. While smallholder farms are the major suppliers of milk in the tropics, many larger farms are becoming established throughout the tropics to satisfy the increasing demands for fresh milk. Blueprints for Tropical Dairy Farming will be a valuable resource for farmers and stockpeople who want to improve the productive performance of their dairy herds, farm advisers who can assist farmers to achieve this aim, educators who develop training programs for farmers or who train dairy advisers in the basics of dairy production technology, and other stakeholders in tropical dairy production, such as local agribusiness, policy makers and research scientists. National and international agencies will learn new insights into the required long-term logistics for regional dairy development, while potential investors will acquire knowledge into intensive tropical dairy farming.

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.
