1. Herd Management
Synchronisation of Heat in Cows is observed once in every 21 days at average, although this period may vary for some reasons or its externally visible signs left unnoticed by the breeder.
In order to achieve maximum performance in a dairy farm, cows should be tracked individually and the farmer kept informed on their daily conditions.However, this process is time consuming with conventional, simple methods and requires technical expertise. Therefore it is a topic that is most frequently ignored. Omissions in fact lead to huge losses that may hardly be seen in many herds and be calculable by Animal Management. Continued...
2. Regular Calving Tracking and Management
Reliable and precise detection of heat along with proper timing of insemination and obtaining one calf from each cow is critical for the implementation after deployment of an effective reproductive scheme at grazing and dairy cattle farm operations. Furthermore, in large scale enterprises hosting a huge number of livestock, the difficulties encountered with tracking the aforementioned procedures may lead to problems in breeding and affect profitability of the operation. The best criterion indicating the level of fertility in females is the calving interval. All such criteria as rate of conception at first insemination, number of inseminations per pregnancy and the number of days until the next conception following calving have effect on calving interval. Research conducted indicate the best average calving internal to be 365 days. Continued...
3. Udder Health Management
In dairy farms with electronically operated parlours, the milk measuring panel employed helps with recording the updated values of milk obtained from each animal. Individual or holistic milk analyses are performed to retrieve both individual and total data about chemical composition of milk for recording, to enable distinguishing it from typical milk and track incidents of decomposition in milk’s molecular structure. Assessments made on the quality and chemical composition of milk as a result of up-to-date tracking probes provide the basic data for early diagnosis and warning notifications through the system of such udder diseases as Mastisis etc., of the animals.
4. Ration Management
Feed and water are the most crucial items for quality milk and meat production in dairy cattle farming practice. Considering that feed supply costs have a share of 70 to 80% of the overall management overheads in any given year and that improper or wrong feeding practices lie at the origins of most frequently observed metabolic disorders, it becomes apparent how vital keeping feeding practice in a herd under control is, from the standpoints of management and operation of a farm.
