Once-a-day milking: possible and profitable?
Once-a-day (OAD) milking offers a major opportunity to improve labour output on New Zealand farms. However few full lactation studies have been undertaken to investigate the effect of this strategy on the productivity of the farm system. A trial was established in 2000 to measure the effect of milking frequency and breed in farm systems where stocking rate was adjusted to equalise per hectare f...
متن کاملCoding method for successive pitch periods
This paper presents a coding method for successive pitch periods of a speech signal. In the proposed method, a priori knowledge of the statistical properties of successive pitch periods is used by designing a shaped lattice structure that covers the most probable points in the pitch space. We also present briefly a pitch search algorithm for the shaped lattice. An example implementation of shap...
متن کاملThe effects of different milking intervals and milking times per day in jennet milk production.
In their first 150 days of lactation, nine Ragusana jennets were investigated at the 'Istituto Sperimentale Zootecnico per la Sicilia' (ISZS) in Palermo, to study the effects of different milking typologies on milk production. The jennets were kept in a paddock and were fed hay ad libitum and concentrate (3.5 kg jennet/day). From post-foaling day 21, every 3 weeks individual milk amounts were r...
متن کاملChanges in milking parameters with robotic milking
The aim of this present study is to describe changes occurring during the milking of cows in various periods following the introduction of an AMS (automatic milking system). The following cow milking parameters were analysed: milkings per cow per day, milking yield, milking speed and milking duration. An increase in milk yield in AMS barns has been found to be possible, but it is affected by a ...
متن کاملEffects of continuous lactation and short dry periods on mammary function and animal health.
The dry period is required to facilitate cell turnover in the bovine mammary gland in order to optimize milk yield in the next lactation. Traditionally, an 8-week dry period has been a standard management practice for dairy cows based on retrospective analyses of milk yields following various dry period lengths. However, as milk production per cow has increased, transitioning cows from the nonl...
