Measuring the Benefit of a Computer in the Milking Parlor:
This paper reports an experiment conducted to assess the contribution of a computer system in the milking parlor to the detection of mastitis and estrous (udder infection and the time to inseminate the cow). The experiment was carried out in a herd of 700 cows in Israel. It was found that the computer system contributed markedly to the cows' productivity and profitability. (
متن کاملSimulating individual cow milk yield for milking parlor simulation models.
A method of simulating individual cow milk yield per milking as a function of herd milk yield and month was formulated for milking parlor simulation models. Milk yield per milking was modeled for each month in three herd milk yield categories: 8165, 8845, and 9525 kg/yr of milk per cow. Actual individual cow DHIA test day milk weight data for three Florida dairy herds in each herd milk yield ca...
متن کاملAn Object-Oriented Model for Simulating Milking Parlor Operations
A milking operation simulation model was developed using an object-oriented approach. Six object classes were defined: things, living things, animals, operator, cow, and parlor. Operator, cow, and parlor classes were the basic units of the model. Each object in the model is a self-contained unit that represents its real world counterpart. The model operation and events were scheduled by sending...
متن کاملA simple method to score digital dermatitis in dairy cows in the milking parlor.
The diagnosis of digital dermatitis (DD) in cows is crucial for researchers to evaluate the effectiveness of control measures. The objective of this study was to evaluate intra- and inter-observer agreement and accuracy of a simple method to score DD lesions that is based on the inspection of cleaned feet in the milking parlor with a swiveling mirror and a powerful headlamp. The hind feet of 24...
متن کاملEvaluation of an experimental milking pulsation system for effects on milking and udder health.
This study was to test whether cows milked by an experimental pulsation method differed from cows milked with conventional pulsation milking in somatic cell count (SCC), intramammary infections (IMI) defined by milk bacteriological culture results, teat end condition, or milk flow rate. The study design was a 1-yr trial with a completely randomized block crossover. Holstein cows were blocked in...
