Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optimization of milking management at the quarter level By: John Francis Penry Under the supervision of: Prof. Douglas J. Reinemann The research theme for this dissertation is optimization of milking management at the quarter level. Milking management is defined in 3 ways. Firstly, milking speed, is defined as kg of milk harvested per unit time between teatcup attachment and detachment. Secondly, gentleness of milking, is defined as milking where teat canal keratin turnover is optimal, teat tissue is not congested or otherwise damaged by the milking process and new intramammary infection risk is not increased. Finally, milk production efficiency, is defined by milk production rate (kg/h) of cows and the resulting milk available for harvest at the time of milking. The objectives for this research are: assess the effect of mouthpiece chamber vacuum on teat-end congestion; develop a methodology to quantify the effects of vacuum, pulsation, and liner compression conditions on teat congestion occurs and milking speed; describe cow level factors which are associated with milk flow rate during the peak milk flow period; describe the association between peak milk flow rate and clinical mastitis in a North American housed cow; describe quarter level milk production variability; describe the association between quarter level milk production rate and milking interval and assess if reduction in milking interval in mid-lactation affects milk production rate; assess if incomplete milking, defined at the quarter level, affects quarter milk production rate. The research was conducted using experiments manipulating milking machine settings at the quarter and udder level in addition to manipulation of milking interval in an automatic milking system. An observational study in a large commercial herd using an automatic milking system was also undertaken. Highlights of research results include: the importance of mouthpiece chamber vacuum in teat-end congestion formation and prediction of liner performance using a central composite design; the characterization of cow level factors milking interval or, day in milk, and their association with peak milk flow rate; the characterization of intra-udder quarter milk production variability; and the effect of under-milking on milk production rate at the quarter level.

Book Synopsis Mastitis in dairy production by : H. Hogeveen
Download or read book Mastitis in dairy production written by H. Hogeveen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide, mastitis is still one of the most important diseases in the dairy sector. Being a multifactorial disease, caused by multiple pathogens, control remains a difficult issue. Mastitis not only affects the health of milk-producing animals, having consequences for the profitability of dairy farms, it also affects the animal welfare. Moreover, mastitis negatively influences the milk quality having consequences for the dairy processing industry. In other words: mastitis affects a large part of the dairy production chain. Due to ongoing scientific effort, insight in mastitis in the context of increasingly complex farming systems, is improving. This insight leads to better methods to control mastitis, either by prevention or by adequate measures (e.g. therapy) when a cow (or goat or sheep) gets mastitis. This book reflects the current knowledge from all over the world on mastitis as it was presented during the 4th IDF International Mastitis Conference, held in June 2005 in Maastricht, the Netherlands. The papers of the 115 oral presentations and the 13 keynote presentations are reflecting not only the current knowledge of mastitis control but are also giving ideas for future solutions for control measures.

Book Synopsis Aquaphotomics for Bio-diagnostics in Dairy by : Roumiana Tsenkova
Download or read book Aquaphotomics for Bio-diagnostics in Dairy written by Roumiana Tsenkova and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of more than 20 years of experience in working with near-infrared spectroscopy for raw milk analysis. The totality of this work presents extensive possibilities for milk spectral measurements that can be carried out in dairy. Moving beyond the standard milk components such as fat, protein, or lactose, this book presents near-infrared spectroscopy as a method that can also be used in disease diagnostics. The measurements and experimental results presented here are all based on the utilization of usually neglected near-infrared regions—regions with strong absorbance of water. The author has found the water – light interaction discussed to be an immensely rich source of information, not only on milk composition but also on the physiological status of the animals involved. A special section of the book is dedicated to exploration of potential interfering factors that may influence the analysis and contribute to the robustness of the models. The research described in this book served as a basis for the development of the novel discipline aquaphotomics and is of interest to anyone working in this field.

Download or read book Lactation in Farm Animals written by and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greater knowledge of lactation allows us to alter environmental, nutritional, and milking procedures, or general management to maximize production. This book, focusing on lactation in farm animals (biology, physiological basis, nutritional requirements, and modelization), presents invited papers from internationally recognized scientists. This volume contains seven chapters covering the key topics related to milk production and lactation biology and physiology. The authors show that animals raised on a well-controlled nutrition regimen may have significant enhancement of succeeding lactations. Furthermore, the usefulness of a milk yield prediction system depends upon how accurately it can predict daily milking patterns and its ability to adjust to factors affecting supply. Milk yield prediction models have proven helpful for genetic analysis and for bio-economic modeling. On the whole, this book serves as an inspirational basis for both scientists and farmers.

Book Synopsis Automatic milking, a better understanding by : A. Meijering
Download or read book Automatic milking, a better understanding written by A. Meijering and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 2000 the book Robotic Milking, reflecting the proceedings of an International Symposium which was held in The Netherlands came out. At that time, commercial introduction of automatic milking systems was no longer obstructed by technological inadequacies. Particularly in a few west-European countries, systems were being installed at an increasing rate. However, it was recognised that the changeover from 'traditional' to automatic milking affected the farming operation, herd management and control of milk quality profoundly and that many of the implications were still unknown. So, new challenges in various fields of dairy farming and new research areas emerged. Since this previous International Symposium, much has happened. In general automatic milking has been adopted as a realistic alternative for milking in the 'traditional' milking parlour. Systems have gradually been improved and, maybe even more importantly, farmers have become more familiar with their potential and limitations, both technically and in herd management. The number of farms milking with an automatic milking system has worldwide increased to more than 2.200 by the end of 2003 . From 2000 to now, the level of scientific knowledge on various aspects and consequences of automatic milking has increased largely as well because of research efforts all over the world. A significant share of these efforts has been made within the framework of a EU-granted project on the implications of the introduction of automatic milking on dairy farms. Some seven research institutes and six industrial companies from six countries joined their expertise and experience in order to facilitate a widespread adoption of automatic milking without undesirable side effects. This book reflects the knowledge on automatic milking generated all over the world in the last few years. Its contents can therefore be regarded as the present state of knowledge in the field of automatic milking, for a better understanding."
