Research conducted at the US Dairy Forage Research Center in Madison (WI) has shown the potential for improving milk nitrogen (N) efficiency by more than 20 % through balancing amino acids and reducing crude protein levels fed. Milk nitrogen efficiency is a measure of how much of the protein (hence nitrogen) fed appears in milk versus being wasted and posing environmental challenges.Experimental D ...

IntroductionThe rise in milk production has been accompanied by increasing incidence of health problems, declining ability to reproduce and declining the fertility of modern dairy cows. The transition from late gestation to early lactation is viewed as one of the most challenging elements of the production cycle. Perhaps the most important physiological change occurring during this period is the d ...

Zeelim dairy farm is located in the south of Israel and characterized by desert conditions and low rainfall in winter (100-150 mm/year) November–March.In the last years, recycled water from the big Tel Aviv metropolitan area reached the region by pipelines where fields are cultivated by crops and orchards. This changed dramatically Zeelim climate to much more humid nights and increased gener ...

A new study from Cornell University showed that cows supplemented with X-Zelit in the dry period were getting pregnant faster.
The figure shows the frequency of cows non-pregnant. Thus, in start of lactation all cows are non-pregnant and from around day 60 and onwards animals get pregnant. The cows in the X-Zelit group are getting pregnant earlier compared to the cows in the control group. Look ...

Dear Mr. Flamenbaum,You got around one of the questions of the reporter. The question was: You have researched Summer to Winter ratio. What would be a good ratio?I am working in Hungary and in the surrounding countries. Mostly, there is a big difference in winter and summer temperature, mainly in the last years, thanks to the changes in the climate conditions. As far as I understood, the ...

You have written: "and weight is the factor most easily controlled by the producer". But do not forget, please, about the shoulder height. The body weight informs you only about the growing rate, but the shoulder height gives more info about the development status of the heifers. I used to see a lot of heifers, to be 400 kilos of BW or more, but the shoulder height was below 120 cm. These heifers ...

This method should work well, but let me put a short comment on it: The method should work well, IF the structure of TMR is absolutely homogenious. While the cows have a chance to separate the diferent fractions (components) of the TMR a part of cows will eat more concentrate, and more fiber (roughages) will remain for the rest of the herd. This process should cause primer rumen acidózis, and redu ...

Interesting article about Artificial Insemination in Dairy Cattle. I am dealing with embryo transfer since about 20 years. I have experienced better transferable embryo rate since I had have used deep uterus horn insemination technic. Since then I always insert the catheter as deep as possible without damaging the internal mucosa of the uterus horns, in my daily AI practice too, and the pregnancy ...
