abstract

the aim of the present study was to compare the occurrence and duration of clinical mastitis in different seasons, stages of lactation period and parities in a holstein dairy farm in iran. a retrospective epidemiological survey from april 2005 to march 2008 was conducted on 884 clinical mastitis cases of 7437 lactations. data of each case including calendar-date of mastitis onset, days in milk (dim) of mastitis onset (early: 0-74 dim; middle: 75-150 dim, and late ≥ 150 dim), duration of mastitis, and parity (1, 2, and ≥ 3) were recorded. based on date of mastitis onset, cases were classified into stages of lactation. moreover, beginning of mastitis was seasonally categorized. duration of clinical mastitis after treatment in early lactation was less than late lactation in the first-parity cows (p = 0.005). in early lactation period, the first-parity cows suffered clinical mastitis in days earlier than two other parity groups (p < 0.001). moreover, in late lactation period, the first-parity cows had clinical mastitis in days later than cows in the third and more parities (p = 0.002). occurrence of clinical mastitis in summer increased in late lactation period but in winter increased in early lactation period (p = 0.001). in addition, occurrence time of clinical mastitis in summer were in days later than in spring (p = 0.02) and winter (p = 0.03) in early lactation period. in conclusion, occurrence of mastitis in winter and spring during early lactation and in summer during late lactation period were more prevalent especially in lower parities.

Comparison of Different Lactation Curve Models to Describe Lactation Curve in Moroccan Holstein-Friesian Dairy Cows

In this study, the incomplete gamma function, an exponential function, a mixed-log function and a polynomial function were evaluated to describe the lactation curve in Moroccan Holstein-Friesian dairy cows. Data from 1990 to 1999, comprising 77130 monthly milk yields of 6029 dairy cows in 280 dairy herds, were used. Edits were carried out by considering the lactation length (5 d and

Association between the lactation curve shape and calving interval in Holstein dairy cows of Iran

This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between early lactation curve parameters andcalving interval in Holstein cows of Iran. In order to describe the lactation curve, the incomplete gammafunction was fitted to 5,754,428 test-day milk records corresponding to 766,108 lactations on 315,634 cowsin 2,448 herds. Cows with higher milk yield during early lactation had shorter calv...

Association of Birth Type and Pregnancy Type with Lactation Performance and Lactation Curve in Holstein Dairy Cows in Iran

The association of birth type (single vs. double) and pregnancy type (single vs. double) with lactation performance and lactation curve was investigated in Holstein cows in Iran. Data of 243298 lactations on 138021 cows in 261 herds collected during January 2000 to December 2012 were used. The average twinning rate was 3.64% and ranged from 1.44% (primiparous) to 5.41% (multiparous). Factors as...
