Plan to Maintain Dairy Herd by Raising Calves
A dairy strategy favors raising calves to replace aging cows. This method yields uniform herd type, lower costs when land is cheap, and reduces reliance on purchased dairy cows. Dairymen should ensure a suitable bull to produce productive dairy cows.
Bacteria Chief Factors In Changing Milk Odor
The main factor altering milk odor is bacteria introduced from various sources. Growth accelerates with higher handling temperatures, so reducing both introduced bacteria and their growth is key. The impact depends on both initial numbers and the specific bacterial types present in common milking conditions.
Dairy Feeding Rules for Dairy Cows in Spring
Dairy facts emphasize alfalfa and silage as the base of the best ration for bred heifers, with well cured hay or green forage. Wet weather reduces pasture erase, warm cream softens butter, and cows yielding milk rich in butterfat require regular attentive milking and care every day.
