Properties of conventional and alternative bedding materials for dairy cattle.
Journal of Dairy Science, 2020 The bedding material used in barns for dairy cows has a significant effect on animal welfare and performance. Bedding influences the duration in which animals remain lying down and, consequently, the processes of rumination and milk production.

Estimation of 305-day milk yield from test-day records of Chinese Holstein cattle
Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2018 This study compared six models, namely the Gaines, Sikka, Nelder, Wood, Dhanoa and Hayashi models, for the estimation of 305 days milk yield in Chinese Holstein cattle. We compared their ability to reliably predict 305-day lactation yield from incomplete

Influence of Diet on Methane and Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Cattle Manure
Asian Journal of Atmospheric Environment, 2015 Livestock is one of the major contributors of greenhouse gases (GHGs). It accounts for 14.5% of the global GHGs emissions like methane (CH4) from enteric fermentation and manure, nitrous oxide (N2O) from manure and fertilizer. Since enteric emissions are

Longevity in Dairy Cattle [PDF]
Advances in Dairy Research, 2014 Longevity of productive life in dairy cattle is a characteristic difficult to evaluate. This measurement is complicated, in part, because the phenotype is expressed late in the life of the animal, but also because the methods of evaluation are complex. The molecular bases of longevity are still far from being fully understood, although some genes begin
