@Viswanatha Reddy Thank you for very interesting information. Dried and powdered form of the plant Ferula communis is also used for stimulating heat on cows and small ruminants in Turkey. This is also effective for improving fertility rate. This is commercially found in the domestic market as premix.

Dear Israel,
Thank you for this contribution. It is about time that politicians read this. There is even an extra argument and that is that if the plants do not get eaten by cattle, they will be composted and the same amount of CO2 and CH4 will be emitted in the atmosphere. The cycle has to continue. So the effect of cattle is just that they convert the plants in something that is digestible for ...

Congratulations on your article. First, people have to be focused on principal reason so that they do not get fooled. More action for raising awareness that cows are not guilty and not primarily responsible from global warming. However, it is well known that, livestock produces about 60% of animal proteins consumed by human in the world. There is a dirty game on scene for destruction of natural fo ...

White coated breeds can be more sensitive to sunstroke. In example, sunstroke sensitivity is more frequent in white coated Saanen goats. Moreover, white coated Holstein, even Simmental cows are not preferred by breeders because of their higher sensitivity to environmental factors and lower performance.

Dear Mr. Cedden,
I totally agree with you when it comes to tropical conditions with restricted possibilities to control deseases.
My article is refered more to intensified farms with Europeran breeds located in warm regions, as for example my country Israel and your country Turkey are.

Dear Mr. Flamenbaum,
Thank you very much for your informative article. Decreased milk yield performance is more striking in Western Europe derived cattle breeds. It is worth to study closer the experience with Zebu or Shaival derived breeds in some countries located in tropical and sub-tropical zones such as Brazil and India. Besides, disease and parasite resistance become important in hot peri ...

Dear Mr Jasmer, Thank you very much for your kind advices about trisodium citrate use in dairy cattle. It will be more informative to measure pH in the milk then we are in a position to do it. However, I have no any idea about estimating citrate content in the milk. If you know any simple method to do it, it will be very helpful. But we will do regularly analysis milk protein, fat and total dry m ...
