“…As a possible explanation for the reported increase of FP from -0.520 °C to -0.517 °C they suggest a higher milk water content resulting from more frequent cleaning of the system. When comparing the quality of milk before and after the implementation of AMS, Rasmussen et al (2001) also found increase in FP, peaking in the first three months after the implementation of AMS.…”

“…Rasmussen et al (2002) have reported that studies from several countries found higher SCC in milk after the implementation of robotic milking due to increase in new infections. In another study, Rasmussen et al (2001) monitored the quality of milk during one year before and during one year after the implementation of AMS. They found increase in SCC after the implementation of AMS, particularly in the first three months.…”

“…Similar data have been reported by Klungel et al (2000) in their study of the impact of robotic milking on the quality of milk: they found a slight increase in SPC, followed by a plateau that causes no concern. Rasmussen et al (2001) have observed a rise in SPC in the first three months after the implementation of AMS. The differences between our data and 211 Fig.…”

Quality of raw milk from a farm with automatic milking system in the Czech Republic

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of this study was to assess the quality of raw cow's milk from an automatic milking system. Samples of milk (48) were analyzed chemically and microbiologically and the somatic cell count, freezing point and inhibitor residues were determined. For comparison purposes, milk analysis data from two farms using conventional machine milking and 2008 milk analysis report data for the Czech Republic were used. All physical and chemical characteristics of the study samples were within the established limits

“…Individual SCC were used to estimate the number of cows with chronically elevated SCC and cows with a new acute rise in SCC according to Rasmussen et al (2001). Tests of significance of differences in culling rate, culling rate before 100 DIM, mortality rate, calculated bulk tank SCC, bulk tank SCC, new acute rise in SCC and chronically elevated SCC were evaluated using the GLM procedure in SAS 9.13 (SAS Institute Inc.).…”

Reducing use of antimicrobials — Experiences from an intervention study in organic dairy herds in Denmark

2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

With the aim of phasing out the use of antimicrobials 23 Danish organic dairy producers from the same organic dairy company participated in Stable School farmer groups from February 2004 to March 2005 in order to go through a common learning and development process towards their common goal. Data on production and herd health were evaluated from two years before to three years after the start of the Stable Schools. For comparison, data was collected from the remaining 35 herds delivering to the same dairy company, 118 organic dairy herds delivering to other dairies and 115 conventional herds. On average, the project herds were smaller with lower production and had half the incidence rate of mastitis treatment than the organic herds from other dairies before the start of the project. The incidence rate of mastitis treatments was reduced considerably from 20 treatments per 100 cow years to 10 treatments per 100 cow years after the project period. Somatic cell count (SCC) and scores for acute and chronic intramammary infections did not change significantly during the study period, and milk production increased at the same rate as in the other herd groups. The incidence rate of mastitis treatments or the reduction of the incidence rate could be related to the herd SCC or the prevalence of blind quarters. The incidence rates of locomotive disorders and reproductive disorders were lower in the project herds compared with herds from other dairies before the project start, and the differences increased during the project period though the reduction of the incidence rates in the project herds was not statistically significant. It is concluded that the farmers participating in the Stable Schools managed to reduce the use of antimicrobials in their herds also after the project period without apparent negative effects on production and udder and herd health.

“…From among the investigated farms, as much as in 69 a pipe milking machine is used (72%) and in 19 farms milking robots (20%). The use of milking robots allows control of the entire milking process, analysis of cows' health which is confirmed by Butler et al, (2013) and Rasmussen et al, (2001) in their research. The use of new technologies in a farm influences the production increase as a result of which a farmer may increase farm incomes which is confirmed by Ziętara (2012).…”

The paper analyses technical equipment of the selected dairy farms. Data from questionnaires carried out in 96 farms in 2015 constituted a research material. Municipalities Lszewo-Borki in Mazowieckie Voivodeship were covered by the survey. A survey questionnaire, which consisted of two parts, was a research instrument. The first concerned general information on a farm and its owner, and the other consisted of eight questions on technical equipment used for breeding dairy cows. The research allowed to determine that farmers assessed the condition of their machinery park as average (50%) or good (40%). One out of ten farmers claimed that the used machinery park in a farm is in a bad condition. Majority of respondents have allotted from PLN 20 to 50 thousand for investments related to enhancement of a machinery park within the last 5 years. On the other hand, a considerable part of farms allotted up to PLN 20 thousand for development of a machinery park. The investigated group included also farms, which allotted more than PLN 500 thousand for development of a park.
