Carlos, Alfredo—great discussion, and I agree this is an area that doesn’t get nearly enough attention at the farm or technical level. One aspect that’s often overlooked in lighting conversations is the electrical quality of the lighting system itself. LED fixtures are non-linear loads, and depending on driver design, they can introduce electrical noise into the farm environment. We were recently on a site where just three faulty LED drivers increased stray voltage levels...

Due to genetic selection for specific production-related traits, genetic progress in dairy cattle, particularly Holsteins, has accelerated greatly. Advances in genomics have dramatically increased the potential for milk fat and protein yields (Figures 1 and 2). Today’s cows are genetically capable of producing levels of components that would have been considered impossible just a decade ago. However, fully reaching that potential now depends highly on more precise nutrition. As...

A cow’s biology and genetics set the stage for her milk production potential. Thanks to genomics, the pace of genetic progress has accelerated in recent years, pushing that potential ever higher. But are we feeding cows to match it? Today’s dairy cows can achieve more with better nutrition, yet their ability to physically consume enough nutrients lags behind their rising requirements. ...

Background This brief paper is focused on the production of milk on dairy farms in North America and elsewhere, and how this is influenced by management and scale of farms and dairy enterprises. Projections of how dairy farming may change by 2050 have been forecast (Britt et al. 2018 and Britt et al. 2021). Dairy programs differ significantly between the USA and Canada, but it is not an intent of the author to say what is best, but rather to focus on systems that affect stability and...

Introduction It is estimated that the human world population will exceed nine billion by 2050 (United Nations, 2019), raising a global concern over food security. Increasing consumption of animal protein has been suggested as one of the sustainable strategies to address food security, as it is a rich source of the most common limiting essential amino acids (FAO, 2013; Gorissen and Witard, 2018; Van Vliet et al., 2015), as well as vitamin B12 (Obersby et al., 2013), calcium (Magkos et...

The calf, historically peripheral to the dairy model, is beginning to occupy a different position in the equation. In key regions, dairy producers are increasingly breeding their dairy cows with beef sires, generating incremental revenue from higher-value crossbred calves. What began as a hedge against low milk...
