An increase in stall stocking density (SSD), as measured by the number of lactating cows per stall in a freestall barn, reduces cow performance, such as milk yield and fertility, but may increase farm profitability. Our objectives were to calculate effects of varying SSD on profit per stall for a range of effects on cow performances and external farm factors and store results in regression meta...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding sulfuric acid to sugarcane tops silage on rumen bacteria and whole rumen microorganisms (WRM) and compare the digestibility of sugarcane tops treated with different amount of urea, molasses and sulfuric acid between Holstein cow and Khouzestan buffalo. Regardless of the type of the treatment, potential of gas production (B) by cow WRM ...

This work presented economic weights (EWs) calculated for Holstein cattle raised in Slovak dairy productions using a bio-economic approach. EWs are calculated for alternatives with (A) and without (B) market quota. Both alternatives included three market payment systems of milk (base price per milk value was corrected according to content of fat, protein and somatic cells). Marginal EWs for mil...

One of the key points addressed by Per Bak in his models of brain function was that biological neural systems must be able not just to learn, but also to adapt—to quickly change their behaviour in response to a changing environment. I discuss this in the context of various simple learning rules and adaptive problems, centred around the Chialvo-Bak ‘minibrain’ model [Neurosci. 90 (1999) 1137–1148].

Background: The present study evaluated treatment outcomes and the treatment indexes among Glanzmann’s patients in Mofid Children’s Hospital, Tehran, Iran. Patients and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed to evaluate the treatment protocols on 15 Glanzmann’s patients with bleeding therapeutic records in Mofid Children’s Hospital, Tehran, Iran, from 2006 to 2011.

A one-year survey on clinical mastitis was conducted on 50 randomly selected commercial Flemish dairy herds to estimate the pathogen-specific incidence rate of clinical mastitis (IRCM). The severity of the cases and the potential associations with herd hygiene were studied. Participating producers sampled 845 cases and 692 dairy cows. The mean and median IRCM was estimated at 7.4 and 5.3 quarte...
