Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milk Production Cost Accounts: Principles and Methods The idea of pre-calculating feed costs has, as far as is known, never been suggested before. At first thought it may seem im practical. Nearly all scientific and successful practical feeders of dairy cattle, however, have full confidence in the reverse of the formula recommended herein. On a basis of the re verse of the formula, or with some other standard, they com pute the feed requirements of their cows. The value of a method for pre-calculating costs is obvious. Without it milk costs are only history, and when finally computed are not applicable under changed prices of feed. The value of the method suggested herein is that by the use of it cost may be determined at any time. It is only necessary to know the kind and prices of feed. With the systems now in general use the records of milk costs merely show what the cost has been and may not apply when one feed has gone up in price and another down. The author is looking to the ideal condi tion when we shall be able to figure milk prices as accurately as the modern shop manager who, given the prices of material and labor, can figure to a fraction of a cent the cost of pro ducing certain articles. The formula used herein is based on Armsby 1 Energy Tables and Maintenance Standard, com bined with Eckles 2 Milk Standards. The author is aware of the fact that there is some difier ence of opinion as to which feeding standard is most nearly accurate, and the standard here used may be changed slightly without seriously affecting the use of the method. Such modi fication as the user wishes to make or finds desirable may be applied with little change of formula. Even another standard or basis of food requirement may be used. The Feed Unit System with the Scandinavian Feeding Standard may easily be substituted. This system would be even more simple and would no doubt give satisfactory results. The Energy Method is used because it is growing in favor in this country at the present time and has given excellent results in practice.

This book was released on 1967 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simulation of a dairy herd over a period of 15 years was used to examine replacement strategies among six operationally practical systems of culling cows which whould maximize income over feed costs. The strategies or criteria used to remove the lower ranking cows to a relatively constant herd size were: (1) Mature Equivalent (M.E.) milk production, (2) M.E. gross milk income, (3) actual milk production, (4) actual gross income, (5) income over feed cost, and (6) present value of expected gross income of cow and her subsequent replacements. Two each of prices of milk, fat differential, feed, and operational costs totaled 2 4 x 6 x 2 replications per trial or 192 replications. The following were treated as stochastic variables: (a) variation in milk production and milkfat percentage between cows and between lactations of the same cow, (b) chance of a calf being a heifer or bull, (c) chance of involuntary death or removal of cows and youngstock, and (d) chance of month of the year of involuntary removals. The mean and variance of the base herd approximated the average Michigan DHIA Holstein population in 1966. The sire value, approximating the best bulls used in A.I. was identical for any given year through all strategies and replications, but improved over time at the rate of 130 1b milk per year. Culls or cows removed because of low in each respective strategy were removed at the most profitable point to cull in their respective lactations by equating the milk income of the marginal month with the sun of the month's feed costs and monthly operational charges. Practical use of this simple method of determining when to cull cows within a lactation was demonstrated. A complete factorial design to analyze the generates data showed no significant differences between strategies under alternative combinations of prices in average income including salvage over feed cost per cow discounted to the present. This income was affected by the level of milk price (P

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's dairy industry is complex and continuously improving. A producer's management of the operation is the most important item on the road to profitability. Since dairy farms are so complex, producers must master managing all of the areas of the business in order to achieve maximum profitability and productivity. Feed is the largest expense in producing milk. This makes proper management of feeding and nutrition pivotal to both profitability and productivity. Management of profit margins is necessary in order to make the best decisions for the dairy business. The effective use of different management tools, such as income over feed cost and dairy advisory teams, can lead to better profitability and productivity by helping dairy producers make the best management decisions. This thesis will discuss three studies that investigated 1) milk income and feed cost profit margins 2) current feed management on dairy farms, with an interest in by-product feed management 3) and the use of dairy advisory teams to improve overall farm success. With volatility in feed and milk markets, income over feed cost (IOFC) is a more advantageous measure of profit than simply feed cost per cow. The Pennsylvania State Extension Dairy Team IOFC tool was used to collect data from 95 Pennsylvania lactating dairy cow herds from 2009-2012 and to determine IOFC per cow per day. The data collected included average milk yield, milk income, purchased feed cost, ration ingredients, ingredient cost per ton, and amount of each ingredient fed. Feed costs for home-raised feeds for each ration were based on market values rather than on actual on-farm cost. Actual costs were used for purchased feed for each ration. Mean lactating herd size was 170 ±10.5 cows, and daily milk yield per cow was 31.7 kg ± 0.19kg. Mean IOFC was $7.71 ±$1.01 cost per cow ranging from -$0.33 in March, 2009 to $16.60 in September, 2011. Data was analyzed using a one-way ANOVA in SPSS. Values were grouped by quartiles and analyzed with all years combined as well as by individual year. Purchased feed cost per cow per day averaged $3.16 ± $1.07 for 2009-2012. For 2009-2012 combined, milk yield and IOFC did not differ with purchased feed cost. Intermediate levels (quartiles 2 and 3) of forage cost per cow per day between $1.45 and $1.97 per cow per day resulted in the greatest average IOFC of $8.19 and the greatest average milk yield of 32.3kg. Total feed costs in the fourth quartile ($6.27 or more per cow per day) resulted in the highest IOFC. Thus, minimizing feed cost per cow per day did not maximize IOFC. In 2010, the IOFC was highest at $8.09 for dairies that fed one or more commodity by-product feeds.Due to tight profit margins and volatility in feed costs, many producers incorporate by-product feeds into their rations. This study used an electronic survey to gather information about feeding management and the use of by-product feeds in rations for Pennsylvania dairy farms in 2013. The survey was sent to 200 dairy farms via email, and 41 surveys were completed. The survey was first sent out in November 2013 and the last response was received in April 2014. All data were collected for the month of September 2013. Survey responses showed that most (97.6%) of the responding Pennsylvania (PA) dairy producers fed a total mixed ration (TMR). Over half (58.5%) of the producers fed a 60:40 forage to concentrate ratio for the ration. Distillers grains and brewer's grains and yeasts were the most commonly used by-product feeds. Producers analyzed dry matter weekly or biweekly (60.9 %) or when switching feeds (34.1 %). Most TMR and forage nutrient testing was done when switching feeds, except for by-product commodity feeds, which most producers never nutrient tested. Most dairy producers used PC Dart as a management tool.Dairy producers continuously seek ways to improve their farm, and many choose to form a dairy advisory team (DAT) to improve management. The objectives were: (1) to compare key measures before and after the team in order to determine if the use of a DAT was effective and (2) to compare a group of 24 herds with a DAT to Pennsylvania (PA) averages for key measures. Teams were formed between May 2008 through January 2013. The range for herd size was 32-608 with a standard deviation of ± 13.96 cows. Herd size, milk yield, somatic cell score (SCS), peak milk yield, age at first calving (AFC), days in milk (DIM), pregnancy rate and cull and mortality rates were key measures analyzed. The changes in key measures, after using DAT for at least one year, were analyzed using a general liner model and contrasts. After DAT use for one year, herds had significantly (P
