Modeling extended lactations of dairy cows.
Nine mathematical models were compared for their ability to predict daily milk yields (n = 294,986) in standard 305-d and extended lactations of dairy cows of Costa Rica. Lactations were classified by parity (first and later), lactation length (9 to 10, 11 to 12, 13 to 14, 15 to 16, and 16 to 17 mo), and calving to conception interval (1 to 2, 3 to 4, 5 to 6, 7 to 8, and 9 to 10 mo). Of the nin...
متن کاملThyroprotein for Cows
T. .HE THYROID gland affects milk production. If the gland is removed from a cow, her milk decreases 75 percent. If it is put back, in the form of dried thyroid tissue or the synthetic hormone, thyroxine, her yield returns to normal. Both substances stimulate normal cows to give more milk and fat. The difficulty has been that dried thyroid tissue is too costly to feed cows, and if the total sup...
متن کاملFat-Feeding Practices for Lactating Dairy Cows
Supplementing cows with fat can have several beneficial effects. It usually increases the energy density of the diet as starch or fiber is replaced with fatty acids. If milk production is increased, then feed efficiency may be improved. Less heat may be produced in the rumen during digestion of fat-supplemented diets as fatty acids are not digested in the rumen. Less heat produced during digest...
متن کاملSupplementary Feeding of Dairy Cows to Increase Milk Production
Milk production systems in Eastern Australia vary from grazing improved pastures and fodder crops with strategic use of high energy supplements, to feeding complete diets under feedlot conditions. The nature of the production system within any area is dictated by climatic and economic factors. Economic return from milk production within a given area is a function of the genetic capacity of the ...
متن کاملFeeding to Minimize Nitrogen Excretion by Dairy Cows
Dairy cows utilize feed crude protein (CP; N x 6.25) with much greater efficiency than other ruminant livestock but still excrete about 2-3 times more N in manure than in milk. This contributes to increased costs of milk production and to environmental N pollution. The function of dietary CP is to supply the cow with metabolizable protein (MP) as absorbed amino acids (AA) but any extra dietary ...
