Welcome to the page about Dairy industry of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Dairy industry.
I decided to write this article following a concrete case, in which I was asked to give an opinion regarding the purchase of fans to cool the cows along the feed line of a certain dairy farm. This manager was 240 meters long and was used to feed (and cool) 320 cows. The dairy owner had two proposals for fans to be installed in the feeding area. The first fan was 50″ in diameter with a 1.5 hp motor and belt drive, with a power consumption of 1.1 kWh. In order to achieve the...

Lecture given as part of bpt (German National Veterinarians Association) meeting 2024, held as part Euro Tier exhibition, Hannover, Germany. Israel is a small country located in the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea. The territory of Israel is 22 thousand square kilometers (Germany is 16 times larger than Israel). Almost two thirds of Israel’s territory is desert and only 20% of it is used for agriculture. Israel population is approximately...

Lecture given as part of bpt (German National Veterinarians Association) meeting 2024, held as part Euro Tier exhibition, Hannover, Germany. The principal factors affecting world dairy sectors in summer are climate change (global warming) and the Increase cow’s productivity. The high yielding cow generates more than 2000 W of heat (like 25 persons), which is much above her capability to dissipate, in a typical summer day. The cow in Germany will...

Global food demand is set to double by 2050 in line with UN estimates that the world population will increase from today’s 7.6 billion to reach 9.8 billion over the next 26 years. To keep pace with such growth, agricultural systems throughout the world will need to provide extra food to feed the rising number of people. While this is a daunting prospect, such enormous growth will also provide opportunities and challenge for the dairy sector as we seek to keep providing the global...

A lot of information has been published in the last decades, dealing with the negative effect of summer heat stress on the productive and reproductive traits of the high yielding cow. Very limited information existed however, up until the last years, on the effect of heat stress on the feed efficiency of cows (as estimated by the feed to milk ratio). Knowing the full extent of the economic losses caused to the cows due to heat load can help to present to the dairy farmers...

Over the years, the efficiency of dairy cows has experienced significant advancements, particularly when comparing contemporary cows to those from 1944 (see attached graph). Modern dairy cows exhibit enhanced efficiency in land use, feed consumption, and carbon emissions, primarily due to breakthroughs in genetic selection and precision feeding, including the integration of rumen-protected amino acids. Below, I detail some critical points. It is regrettable that the urban populace remains...

Monitoring and transmitting in real time and continuous manner the body temperature of the cows has become a reality these days. This can improve the effectiveness of cooling treatments given to the cows, with all the benefits that can arise from that. The following article presents the knowledge and experiences accumulated in the last years in Israel, based on monitoring cow's body temperatures, using intravaginal data loggers. In one of my first cooling projects, carried out on a...

Cooling the cows through a combination of wetting and forced ventilation is the most common method in the world today. I estimate that more than 80% of the cows that are currently cooled in the world are cooled by this method. Today we know very well what is required to cool the cows properly, in terms of the "wetting quality", air speed and the time required for cooling during the day and throughout the year. In this article, I would like to describe how was developed the knowledge on...

Heat stress is considered one of the main causes of performance and economic losses in the world dairy sector. These losses are proportional to the degree of heat stress cows are subjected to (days or hours per year, cows are exposed to THI above threshold), as well as to the level of production and some nutritional and managerial practices. Do we really know to quantify the total losses? The answer for the moment is no! The literature published until now deals with most of the...

In Spain, the beef fattening system is an intensive system where calves are commonly housed in partially open barns with straw bedding and 40% of the calves, mainly males, are from dairy origin (surplus calves). These calves are transported by road for long hours (up to 3-5 days) from their dairy origin farms to the rearing farm where these calves are fed low amounts of milk replacer for 6-8 weeks and concentrate and straw ad libitum in separate feeders from very young ages with a resulting...
