Rearing goat kids away from their dams 1. A survey to understand rearing methods

animal, 2022
Despite an estimated global goat population of over one billion, little is known about methods being used to feed milk to artificially reared kids (reared away from their dams) and how kids are weaned from these systems. Quantifying and characterising current methods utilised on farms will enable future targeted research to investigate best practice ...

Proposed methods for estimating loss of saleable milk in a cow-calf contact system with automatic milking

Journal of Dairy Science, 2023
: Cow-calf contact (CCC) systems, although beneficial in many respects, introduce additional challenges to collect reliable data on milk production, which is important to assess individual cow efficiency and dairy farm profitability.

Interrelationships between cows, calves, and humans in cow-calf contact systems—An interview study among Norwegian dairy farmers

Journal of Dairy Science, 2023
: In recent years, the common dairy farming practice of early separation of dam and calf has received increased attention. Our aim was to explore how Norwegian dairy farmers with cow-calf contact (CCC) systems apply these systems in practice, and how ...

Assessing short-term economic consequences of cow-calf contact systems in dairy production using a stochastic partial budgeting approach

Frontiers in Animal Science, 2023
IntroductionWhile early separation of dairy calves after birth has been debated from an ethical and animal welfare lens, the economic evidence surrounding alternative cow-calf contact (CCC) systems is scarce.MethodsTo address this knowledge gap, we ...
