The effect of heat waves on dairy cow mortality.
Journal of Dairy Science, 2015 This study investigated the mortality of dairy cows during heat waves. Mortality data (46,610 cases) referred to dairy cows older than 24mo that died on a farm from all causes from May 1 to September 30 during a 6-yr period (2002-2007). Weather data were

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.A micellar casein‐alginate blend is wet‐spun into fibers using a calcium‐rich coagulation bath. Fibers with different levels of casein are dried and tested. Swelling tests showed increased stability in decalcifying media with micellar casein. Mechanical properties remained largely unchanged, except after treatment with citric acid, where the breaking ...

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the 1980s, researchers discovered the remarkable ability of electrospray plumes to effectively ionize gas‐phase molecules via secondary ionization. Around 20 years later—coinciding with the ambient mass spectrometry revolution—secondary electrospray ionization (SESI) and extractive electrospray ionization (EESI) coupled to mass spectrometry

Breeding the dairy cow of the future: what do we need?
, 2015 Genetics is responsible for approximately half the observed changes in animal performance in well structured breeding programs. Key characteristics of the dairy cow of the future include (1) production of a large quantity of high-value output (i.e.

Characterization of Dutch dairy farms using sensor systems for cow management.
Journal of Dairy Science, 2015 To improve cow management in large dairy herds, sensors have been developed that can measure physiological, behavioral, and production indicators on individual cows. Recently, the number of dairy farms using sensor systems has increased. It is not known,
