Balancing Diets for Dairy Cattle during Heat Stress Conditions
A well-known dairy scientist once wrote that "compared with an effective environmental management system, manipulation of the cow's diet specifically for heat stress will have a relatively small effect on productivity" (Beede and Shearer, 1992). Indeed many dietary adjustments made during heat stress feeding are to compensate for reduced feed intake or to maintain physiologic homeostasis in the...
متن کاملIndividual variability in physiological adaptation to metabolic stress during early lactation in dairy cows kept under equal conditions.
This study was conducted to investigate individual metabolic and endocrine adaptation to lactation under conditions of identical housing and feeding conditions in high-yielding dairy cows. Forty-five cows were studied on a research farm under standardized but practical conditions. From wk 2 before calving until wk 14 postpartum, blood samples were collected at weekly intervals and assayed for b...
متن کاملThermal Stress in Dairy Cattle
Crosses of temperate cattle reared in tropical ambience lapse in heat tolerance, fertility and disease resistance. However, cross breeding zebu with high yielding exotic cattle seems necessary to meet the need for enhanced composite milk production per unit in view of food security. Thermal stress is considered as the main factor responsible for reduction of milk yield in tropical climate. Any ...
متن کاملRate of Horn Growth, Wear and Sole Thickness of Dairy Cattle in a Free Stall Barn with Concrete and Rubber Flooring
To compare horn growth, wear and sole thickness, twenty-four mature dairy cows were ranked in order according to lactation number and calving date. Using a randomized block design, each group of two cows was randomly assigned in ranked order to either the experimental group (housed on rubber mat, group R) or the control group (housed on concrete, group C). The 12 cows in each group were selecte...
متن کاملSituations Leading to Oxidative Stress in Dairy Cattle
Free radicals are normally produced by living organism, at controlled production rate they perform physiological functions as signal transduction molecules. However, situations leading to an overproduction that surpasses antioxidant capacity creates oxidative stress. Consequently, damage to the cell membrane, protein, DNA and cell death are observed. Dairy cattle are susceptible to oxidative st...
