Introduction
Sustainability means meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In addition to natural resources, we also need social and economic resources. Sustainability is not just environmentalism. Find concerns for social equity and economic development.

As herds aspire to achieve higher levels of milk production there is a need for more focused management of all areas of the farm. The management of the milking center is no exception to this. In order to achieve success with the milking center the first step is to document what the current baseline is for all the major areas affecting the milking center. During the analysis of this baseline data one important distinction to make is whether the opportunity areas...

Introduction The practical and scientific knowledge obtained on the use of the Lactoperoxidase system (LPs) confirms its innocuity to human health (1), which allowed the lifting of the restriction that the system could not be used for milk products intended for international dairy market, in the Thirty-Second Session of the Commission Codex Alimentarius (2). The simple name of LPs generates confusion due to the association to hydrogen peroxide or oxygenated water, adding without...

Introduction The many hormones, growth factors and cell types involved in bovine mammary gland development and lactation make the elucidation of their roles difficult; a representative in vitro model of lactation would help in this regard. Previously we have isolated a mammary epithelial cell (MEC) clonal line that can undergo three-dimensional morphological and functional differentiation when cultured on a reconstituted basement membrane (McConochie et al., 2004). However, the...

Biosecurity means reducing chances of spread of infectious diseases at animal farm by animals or humans or by any other means. Biosecurity reduces the risk of infectious diseases at the farm. By management interventions we can do this.
Presence of infectious agent in an environment where the animals reside, may lead to cause disease in them under favorable conditions. That’s why; it becomes very necessary for livestock producers to take a...

Misconceptions Animals have to suffer on large confined operations. Abuse is rampant. Large herds only can exist through widespread use of antibiotics and hormones. Large farms pollute rivers. Meat and milk are laden with drug and hormone residues. Large operations exploit animals...

Cooling means to reduce heat stress from cows have been developed over the last four decades in Israel, and are applied to a different degree of success in many farms in the world. Cooling cows in the farm is based largely on the daily routine, which includes cooling the cows in the waiting yards, before and between milking sessions, as well as in the feeding line, around feeding time. Cows are usually forced ventilated in resting area, if it is in free stalls or compost...

Introduction The major use of rangelands is grazing or browsing by livestock and wild herbivores. Semiarid and arid rangelands are often fragile and subjected to accelerated soil erosion if not managed appropriately. If rangelands are mismanaged, so that plants fail to provide sufficient soil cover, the composition of plant community changes, resulting in reduced productivity and increased erosion. Continued abuse of the rangeland system can also result in severe land...

Benefits of early detachment Faster milking. Early detachment reduces machine-on time. This may or may not result in milking more cows per hour depending on parlour size and milking routine. AMS benefit the most from a short machine-on time. Calm cows. Several studies have observed calmer cows when detaching at a higher flow rate. First lactation cows seem to be more sensible to overmilking than older cows. Improved teat...

Why Dairy Farm Fails? Steps to overcome the challenges. Why dairy farm fails? Poor selection of cattle (breed, age, health etc.) Absence of standard operating procedures Absence or poor execution of breeding Methods. Getting Dairy loans at high interest rates. Bio-security to animals Non-adherence to proven and prescribed procedures Dependence on either illiterates (laborers etc) or incorrect source of knowledge. Absence of passion and integrity on the part of farm promoters / management....

INTRODUCTION Digital dermatitis (DD) is a widespread bacterial foot lesion in cattle that typically develops on the bulb of the heel, causing ulcerative lesions that may be uncomfortable or very painful (Cheli and Mortellaro, 1974; Döpfer et al., 1997). It is the most common foot lesion in confined dairy systems, with a prevalence ranging from 15 to 49% (Holzhauer et al., 2006; USDA, 2009; Solano et al., 2016) and...

Introduction Heat stress causes major losses ($ 2.4 billion) in animal production, including dairy cattle, beef cattle, swine and poultry in the USA (St-Pierre et al., 2003). Heat stress affects feed intake, body temperature, maintenance requirements and metabolic processes, feed efficiency, milk yield, reproductive efficiency, behavior and disease incidence (Cook et al., 2007; Tucker et al., 2007; Rhoads et al., 2009). Water is necessary for a proper rumination and digestion...

1. Introduction Social licking is defined as the act of one individual licking the body of another [1]. This behavior is routinely observed at birth when the dam licks her offspring [2], at courtship when the male licks a female in estrus [3], but it also occurs in other contexts between animals of the same sex and age [4] A variety of functions for this behavior have been proposed. For example, recipients of social licking may benefit from improved...

Introduction Increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) is a major worldwide concern. It is estimated that, globally, direct emissions from animal agriculture account for 7-10% of human derived GHG emissions (O’Mara, 2011), with this estimate increasing to 14.5% if indirect sources, such as feed production and deforestation for pasture or crop expansion are accounted for (Gerber et al., 2013)....
