The environmental impact of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) use in dairy production.
The environmental impact of using recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) in dairy production was examined on an individual cow, industry-scale adoption, and overall production system basis. An average 2006 U.S. milk yield of 28.9 kg per day was used, with a daily response to rbST supplementation of 4.5 kg per cow. Rations were formulated and both resource inputs (feedstuffs, fertilizers, and fu...
متن کاملProduction of polyclonal antibodies directed to recombinant methionyl bovine somatotropin.
The administration of recombinant methionyl bovine somatotropin (rMbST) to dairy cows to increase milk yield remains a common practice in many countries including the USA, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa and Korea, whereas it has been forbidden within the European Union (EU) since 1999. A rapid screening immunoanalytical method capable of the unequivocal determination of rMbST in milk would be hig...
متن کاملPotential Impact of Bovine Somatotropin on Dairy Sire Evaluation
Use of bovine somatotropin to increase product ion of milk and milk solids poses the problem of allocation within herd and implications for genetic evaluatat ion records with and without bovine somatotropin were simulated for different correlations between performance with and without t reatment and response to it. Resulting within-herd variances and accuracy and bias in sire evaluations were c...
متن کاملPredicting Bovine Somatotropin Use by California Dairy Farmers
An ex ante adoption model of bovine somatotropin (BST) is estimated with survey data of California milk producers. Theoretical justification is developed for incorporation of socioeconomic explanatory variables in a technology-adoption model. The advantages of a multinomial over a binomial ex ante model also are presented. The multinomial logit model is used to predict BST adoption, to test hyp...
متن کاملPrevalence of subacute ruminal acidosis in some dairy herds of Khorasan Razavi province, northeast of Iran
To estimate the prevalence of subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) in dairy cows, a total of 196 ruminalfluid samples were drawn by rumenocentesis from 10 dairy herds of Khorasan Razavi province, northeast ofIran. Two groups of 12 cows, early lactation and mid-lactation cows were sampled in each dairy herd andruminal pH was determined immediately using a portable pH-meter. A total of 54 cows (27.6%...
