  4. 3. Effects of cow-calf contact on feed intake, milk production and energy balance in dairy cows in early lactation

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Carina Tufvesson; [2021]
    Keywords : Cow-calf contact system; dairy cow; suckling; feed intake; feeding pattern; milk production; energy balance;

    Abstract : The objective of this study was to compare the production level, feed intake and energy balance in early lactation of non-suckled cows against cows in a cow-driven cow-calf contact (CCC) system. CCC systems have become interesting to evaluate as they are thought to provide a more natural behaviour for both the cow and calf, several studies have reported higher growth and better health in calves kept in these systems.

  5. 4. The effects of floor system on production in automatic milking systems

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Isabella Odmark; [2020]
    Keywords : flooring systems; milk production; claw health;

    Abstract : Based on the results of a previous Master's thesis, the hypothesis was that farms with slatted floors have lower milk production, both per milking unit and per cow, than farms with solid floors in automatic milking systems. A survey with questions about the farm, the flooring system, cleaning and claw trimming routines was sent to 123 farmers with DeLaval's VMS and additional farmers with DeLaval VMS were invited to the survey via social media.

  6. 5. Våm-pH hos mjölkkor : jämförelse av mättekniker och pH-förändring i samband med foderintag

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Veronica Furenbäck; [2019]
    Keywords : nätmagens pH; våmacidos; SARA; LRCpH; eBolus; buffring; salivflödeshastighet; tuggaktivitet; idissling; peNDF; partikellängd; sortering;

    Abstract : Våmmens pH hos mjölkkor varierar under dygnet och mikroberna i våmmen behöver ett pH mellan 6-6,5 för att fungera optimalt. Normalt hålls våm-pH stabilt genom att kon absorberar flyktiga fettsyror (VFA) till blodet och den viktigaste mekanismen är saliven vilket har en buffringsförmåga då den innehåller bikarbonat och vätefosfatjoner.
