Optimizing the Transition Cow Management System on Commercial Dairy Farms
Nutrition and management of the transition cow continues to attract substantial research attention. Despite the tremendous quantity of research conducted on nutrition and physiology of transition cows, the transition period remains a problematic area on many commercial dairy farms, and metabolic disorders continue to occur at economically important rates (Burhans et al., 2003). Data recently su...
متن کاملModeling Fence Location and Density at a Regional Scale for Use in Wildlife Management
Barbed and woven wire fences, common structures across western North America, act as impediments to wildlife movements. In particular, fencing influences pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) daily and seasonal movements, as well as modifying habitat selection. Because of fencing's impacts to pronghorn and other wildlife, it is a potentially important factor in both wildlife movement and habitat se...
متن کاملNitrogen management strategies for maize production systems: Experimental data and crop modeling
Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important crop among Brazilian smallholder farmers,who are also responsible for 40% of the poultry and egg production in the country.Although poultry litter is considered a potential pollutant, if properly stabilized anddistributed in the field it can be used as a source of nitrogen for maize production.In this study, the response of maize to mineral fertilizer and pou...
متن کاملBovine tuberculosis in cattle: reduced risk on wildlife-friendly farms.
The associations between habitat and other factors that lead to the risk of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in diary cattle were examined in an unmatched case-control study. Data from 60 herds with recent history of bTB and 60 controls were analysed using logistic regression. The predictors included farmland habitat, topography, indices of badger density and herd size. Information-theoretic approache...
متن کاملDomain-Specific Modeling for a Crop Model Factory
In the context of crop model design for industrial purposes, this paper proposes a domain-specific modeling approach to provide a crop model factory for the modelers in agronomy. The authors’ approach proposes to separate the concerns of representing the simulation process (process-based dynamics) and the plant data structure. They propose a refined and stabilized metamodel for the dynamics bas...
