“…Compost-bedded pack barns, also known as compost dairy barns (CB), are housing systems for dairy cows that consist of an open area without partitions where cows have free access to the bedding and feeding alley areas. CB systems use organic material as a substrate that remains in constant composting activity [1], providing a dry and comfortable surface for dairy cows [2][3][4]. This has made CB an attractive system for milk production, so much so that CB facilities have already been described in North America, Europe, and Brazil [5][6][7][8].…”

Association between Mastitis Occurrence in Dairy Cows and Bedding Characteristics of Compost-Bedded Pack Barns

et al. 2023

Compost-bedded pack barns (CB) are receiving increasing attention as a housing system that can potentially improve the welfare of dairy cows. This study characterized the frequency and profile of pathogens isolated from clinical (CM) and subclinical (SCM) mastitis in dairy cows housed in CB. It evaluated the association between mastitis occurrence and bedding characteristics in CB systems. Over six months, seven dairy herds were visited monthly for milk and bedding sample collections. Milk samples from mastitis cases were submitted to microbiological identification by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF MS). Bedding samples were submitted to physical-chemical (pH, organic matter, moisture, and carbon to nitrogen ratio) and microbiological counting (total bacterial counts, coliforms, streptococci, and staphylococci) analyses. Regression analysis was used to determine the association between mastitis occurrence and CB characteristics. Our results showed that Escherichia coli and environmental streptococci were the most frequently isolated pathogens from CM cases, while Staphylococcus chromogenes and contagious pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae) were the most commonly isolated from SCM cases. Bedding moisture content was positively associated with the incidence of CM. The bedding carbon to nitrogen ratio was negatively associated with the incidence of SCM, and the bedding total bacteria counts tended to be associated with the incidence of SCM. Bedding counts of coliforms positively associated with the prevalence of SCM. Our results can support decision-makers in the dairy industry seeking strategies for bedding management and mastitis control.

The application of the green economy to SMEs is still experiencing obstacles, so that it affects competitiveness, especially in the global market. This study aims to determine the trend and map the application of the green economy in SMEs. Data analysis used bibliometric analysis with the Scopus database. The number of articles analyzed is 350, published from 1997 to 2022. The research technique is divided into three stages: planning, implementation, and reporting. Data analysis employs bibliometric analysis, with forms of analysis ranging from co-authorship analysis to co-occurrence analysis to citation analysis. The results show that India and the United Kingdom are countries with a great influence on this topic. There are 5 clusters found in this study, with the topic of sustainable development being the most relevant topic in research related to the green economy. There are relatively few strategies for adopting the green economy in SMEs. Some of the emerging strategies concern the deployment of green image, green manufacturing, and environmental social responsibility techniques. This study adds to the quiet literature on themes that have significant potential for additional investigation, particularly those connected to the strategy of implementing the green economy in SMEs.

“…To obtain the main results available in recent studies on bedding quality in CBP systems, a systematic literature review was carried out, conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology-PRISMA [35]. To achieve the proposed objective, search, selection, eligibility, and inclusion of studies were conducted, as well as analysis and extraction of interesting information [36].…”

In this study, a systematic review was performed to describe and discuss the main results available in the literature on physicochemical bedding quality in compost-bedded pack barn (CBP) systems for dairy cows. Experimental peer-reviewed articles in English were searched in the Scopus (ScP) and Web of Science (WoS) databases. The resulting articles (n = 162) underwent an evaluation process in four stages, following the PRISMA methodology and, based on a priori-defined eligibility criteria, 12 were selected. Several indicators of bedding quality were used, emphasizing bedding temperature in the aerobically active layer, evaluated in all studies. The decomposition activity was less intense in winter due to mild environmental conditions. During this period, appropriate management practices should be used (more frequent bedding replacement and turning, use of aeration systems under the bedding, lateral closures in the facilities, etc.) to maintain the fully active composting process. In conclusion, the physicochemical bedding quality in this system type is mainly affected by environmental conditions. However, some care is needed to extrapolate these results since this is a recent research area, which still requires further studies.
