Eluding the Preset Length of Dry Period to Smoothen Transition and Lactation Curve

This article analyzes a pragmatic viewpoint to avoid presetting the length of dry period to smoothen transition and lactation curve in commercial dairy cows. Many cows still continue to considerably lactate even after 7 months of gestation. Drying such cows suddenly off imposes intolerable harsh pressures to dairy cows and their adaptive physiology. Preknown dry period length (e.g., 60 days) for the entire herd is not compelling and high-producing cows must be allowed to realize lower production at drying even if dry period has to be shortened to much less than 60 days.

Optimizing Diurnal Patterns of Nutrient Intake and Rumen Fermentation Based on Milking Management

This article develops an on-farm strategy to optimize eating and rumen fermentation patterns according to milking timing and frequency. Considering the post-milking crave for food, to avoid starch overintake and to minimize risks from subacute rumen acidosis, depressed rumen microbial production and jeopardized milk yield, selected forage choices or mixed rations with a minimal concentrate portion should be fed post-milking. High-starch portions can then be fed at other feeding occasions not shortly post-milking. Milking timing and frequency affect how to optimize diurnal patterns of feeding and rumen fermentation for superior efficiency.
