When to Identify Nonpregnant Lactating Dairy Cows using Trasrectal Ultrasonography
Early identification of nonpregnant dairy cows post breeding can improve reproductive efficiency and pregnancy rate by decreasing the interval between AI services and increasing AI service rate. Thus, new technologies to identify nonpregnant dairy cows early after artificial insemination (AI) may play a key role in systematic management strategies to improve reproductive efficiency and profitab...
متن کاملComparison of four markers for quantifying microbial protein flow from the rumen of lactating dairy cows.
Eight ruminally cannulated lactating cows from a study on the effects of dietary rumen degraded protein (RDP) on production and N metabolism were used to compare 15N, total purines, amino acid (AA) profiles, and urinary excretion of purine derivatives (PD) as microbial markers for quantifying the flow of microbial protein at the omasal canal. Dietary RDP was gradually decreased by replacing sol...
متن کاملFat-Feeding Practices for Lactating Dairy Cows
Supplementing cows with fat can have several beneficial effects. It usually increases the energy density of the diet as starch or fiber is replaced with fatty acids. If milk production is increased, then feed efficiency may be improved. Less heat may be produced in the rumen during digestion of fat-supplemented diets as fatty acids are not digested in the rumen. Less heat produced during digest...
متن کاملWisgraph: Quantifying the Contribution of Non-lactating Cow Udder Infection to the Overall Intramammary New Infection Rate on Wisconsin Dairy
Traditionally, individual cow somatic cell counts (SCC) have been used to identify cows for treatment, segregation, or culling based on counts above a certain threshold – usually defined at around 200,000/ml. This threshold has been used by a number of authors to achieve optimum sensitivity and specificity for the determination of udder infection and non-infection (Dohoo & Leslie, 1991; Scheper...
متن کاملThe effect of stress on udder health of dairy cows.
The appropriate literature has been reviewed for the purpose of defining the phenomenon of stress in lactating dairy cattle, establishing a baseline concept of lactation stress and emphasizing the most significant aspects of the natural mammary defence mechanisms. Data on the general adaptation syndrome (GAS) make it clear that stress is essentially the rate of wear and tear of the biological s...
