Genetic parameters of production traits in automatic and conventional milking systems
Milk recordings of 1297 animals from 23 farms with automatic (AMS) and 20555 animals from 616 farms with conventional milking systems (CMS) were analysed. The data was collected within the years 2001 – 2003. Recordings were available for milk-kg, fat and protein content from the first three test days of each cow after calving. Genetic parameters between AMS and CMS recordings for each single te...
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 کاملGenetic and environmental relationships between body condition score and milk production traits in Canadian Holsteins.
The objective of this research was to estimate genetic parameters of first-lactation body condition score (BCS), milk yield, fat percentage (Fat%), protein percentage (Prot%), somatic cell score (SCS), milk urea nitrogen (MUN), lactose percentage (Lact%), and fat to protein ratio (F:P) using multiple-trait random regression animal models. Changes in covariances between BCS and milk production t...
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 کاملEffects of mild heat stress periods on milk production, milking frequency and rumination time of grazing dairy cows milked by a mobile automatic system
Grazing dairy cows milked by an automatic system (AS) experienced mild heat stress (HS) periods twice during the summer. The daily temperature humidity index (THI) during these periods were higher than 72. Milk production, as well as milking frequency, rumination time and milk fat to protein ratio (F/P) during these periods were compared with adjacent periods with mean THI of 61. The daily milk...
