Cow Welfare

Pasture-based dairying in New Zealand and Australia has come under increasing animal welfare scrutiny as a result of changing public expectations for farm animal management. Concurrently, efficiency-driven changes in dairy management practices and a broadening of the feedbase beyond traditionally grazed pasture have resulted in increased intensification and stocking density within the dairy industries. This intensification has included a higher proportion of grain concentrates in the diet (particularly in Australia), and the greater management of cows off pasture and even in housing (particularly in New Zealand). Research to assess the animal welfare implications of these changes and to recommend good practice management has concentrated on issues of cow environments and cow feeding, including body condition. Research has shown that cows may be managed for a few hours per day on concrete surfaces without compromising their lying behaviour and other indicators of welfare, but that longer periods off pasture require the provision of a well drained and comfortable lying surface. Other research has defined the extremes of hot and cold/wet conditions beyond which cows benefit from provision of adequate shade and shelter. Research on cow body condition has indicated that welfare responses are aligned with measures of health and productivity in supporting the need to maintain a minimum body condition before calving and during the subsequent weight loss period of early lactation. Continued research, extension and industry adoption will enable dairy producers to address community expectations as they continue to change their farming practices.

The overuse of antibiotics in livestock contributes to the antibiotic resistance pandemic. The assessment of the actual antibiotic consumption is crucial in limiting the expansion of the problem effectively. The aim of this study was to provide the first qualitative and quantitative analysis of antimicrobial usage using data from paper-based registers on dairy and beef farms located in the Umbria region, Italy. Antimicrobial therapies of a one-year period were collected from 101 farms with at least 50 cattle each. Defined daily doses (DDDvet) and defined course doses (DCDvet) were calculated per administration route and antimicrobial class. The total courses administered were fewer in beef (330.7 × 10−3 DCDvet/year) than in dairy farms (1034.1 × 10−3 DCDvet/year). The use of the highest priority critically important antimicrobials (HPCIAs) was higher (p = 0.0033) in dairy than in beef herds. In terms of DDDvet, the parenteral fluoroquinolone administration ranked second and fourth on dairy and beef farms, respectively; the consumption of beta-lactams was ten times higher on dairy than on beef farms. Our results confirm that intensive dairy management practices are associated with increased antibiotic consumption and highlight the necessity to strengthen the existing stewardship programs by involving all stakeholders in effective antimicrobial resistance reduction plans.

A study was undertaken with the objective of assessing the knowledge and adoption of improved dairy management practices among women dairy farmers in Dindigul District of Tamil Nadu. Following multistage sampling procedure, 300 women dairy farmers involved in dairying were selected. The data were collected through a well structured schedule by personally interviewing the selected women dairy farmers. The study revealed that majority of the women dairy farmers had knowledge about time of feeding first colostrum to new born calves, dry period allowed for lactating pregnant animals, right time of insemination and the extent of adoption is also high. The overall knowledge level of women dairy farmers were found to be moderate (48.33 per cent) followed by good (27.34 per cent) and poor (24.33 per cent).

Dairy Management

"The Ozark Dairy Management Component, initiated April, 1966, had set forth as a major purpose: the improvement of management practices among low income dairy-farmer participants. Accomplishment of the primary and secondary objectives was to have resulted in income levels at least equal to and greater than minimum designated poverty level. Subobjectives as stated in the project proposal, were: 1. To raise income per cow at least $200 over fee costs. 2. To insure enough cows to justify the dairy farmer's time, equipment and investment. 3. To insure enough acreage per cow to furnish a reserve supply of pasture, hay, and other roughage. 4. To assist in securing financing, where needed, whereby the dairy farmer could increase his income by a sufficient amount to pay off borrowed capital, interest, and increase net income. 5.To assist in improving milk quality. 6. To improve and maintain herd health."-Page 2
