A Tool Box for Assessing Cow, Udder and Teat Hygiene
Infection of the mammary gland with environmental bacterial pathogens is the most significant udder health problem facing the dairy industry in North America. Forty years ago, Neave et al. (1966) stated that the rate of new intra-mammary infection is related to the number of bacteria that the teat end is exposed to, and several studies have made associations between clean housing, clean cows an...
متن کاملEffect of machine milking on bovine teat sinus injury and teat canal keratin
Introduction In Ireland, cows are generally milked with milking machines with 3.2kg clusters, with wide-bore tapered liners (31.6mm – 20.6mm) and 4x0 pulsation (WB). Outside of Ireland, most milking machines have 1.65kg clusters, narrow-bore liners (25.0mm – 20.0mm) and 2x2 pulsation (NB). O’Callaghan (2001) showed that the mouthpiece cavity vacuum was higher with wide-bore tapered liners than ...
متن کاملW-MP-4: Teat End Condition Scoring (Neijenhuis System)
The health and integrity of teats and streak canals is positively correlated to udder health and the incidence of mastitis. One sign of a reduction in teat end integrity is formation of excessive callus known as hyperkeratosis. Seiber and Farnsworth were the first to identify teat end hyperkeratosis and establish a teat end scoring system. Scoring systems have been developed to help standardize...
متن کاملtask-based instruction, consciousness-raising and iranian efl learners acquisition and use of collocation
the present study sought to examine whether a task-based approach could have an impact on raising awareness of collocations. moreover, it sought to investigate the facilitative role of consciousness-raising tasks of collocations in the communicative instances of use. to this end, 68 intermediate learners of english were selected via a placement test. the participants were taught with classroom ...
15 صفحه اولAccuracy-Based Scoring for Phrase-Based Statistical Machine Translation
Although the scoring features of state-of-theart Phrase-Based Statistical Machine Translation (PB-SMT) models are weighted so as to optimise an objective function measuring translation quality, the estimation of the features themselves does not have any relation to such quality metrics. In this paper, we introduce a translation quality-based feature to PBSMT in a bid to improve the translation ...
