Expected Production Of A Holstein Cow (Part 2)

- As for second lactation, older animals usually produce 15 - 30 pounds over average daily milk production.

- Generally, mature cows and heifers will peak within 5 - 10 weeks after calving.

- After animals reach peak milk production, the average decline in milk per month is generally 10 - 15% for most of the lactation.

- If the herd has good nutrition, the decline may be slower.

- In late lactation, cows may experience 12 - 20% decline.

- A normal lactation length for cows is 290 to 310 days. Anything below 270 days is considered short.

Expected Production Of A Holstein Cow (Part 1)

Here's some figures of expected production for a Holstein cow. This can help you figure out if your herd is over or under performing.

- Average daily milk production per Holstein cow with decent nutrition would be minimum of 60 pounds of 4% fat corrected milk.

- If the herd has excellent nutrition and management, it could go up to 70 or 80 pounds of 4% fat corrected milk.

- Average peak milk production for first calf heifers is normally around 7 - 14 pounds over average daily production for the lactation.

Ways To Increase Milk Quality (Part 2)

3) Ensure that bedding for cows are consistently clean and comfortable.

4) Make sure there is a monitoring program

- Have some sort of KPI from milking data to measure how well milking is done.

- If possible, have some method of communicating how technicians performed after every milking session.

5) Make sure you monitor the fresh animals so that they are not infected before placing them in milking pens or groups.

6) Having parts replacement program for milking equipment based on manufacturer's recommendations for the equipment installed in the barn.

- Have the equipment evaluated consistently so that it performs up to standard.

Ways To Increase Milk Quality (Part 1)

Outstanding milk quality herds will have a few factors that do not vary with herd sizes or type of operations. Here are some of the common factors:

1) Consistent cow handling

- Make sure handling method of cows are consistent so that clean, calm cows enter the milking facility at every milking.

2) Consistent milk procedures

- Make sure that whoever is milking the cows follow the same milking procedures.

- Goal is to aim for 10 to 12 seconds of teat contact time during preparation followed by attaching units at 90 to 120 seconds after teats are first touched.

- When cows have standardized milking routine, they produce 5.5% more milk in their lactation cycle as compared to cows that do not have standard routine.

- Consistent udder preparation will also reduce average milking time.

- As average milking time is reduced, they will have fewer bacteria on teats, hence the infection rate will decrease as well.

Signs Of Healthy Cows (Part 3)

7) Milk

- There should be no swelling of the udder and no pain when it is touched.

- Sudden decrease in milk production is a sign of unwell cow.

- Blood in milk signals udder infection.

8) Body temperature

- High temperature shows that there is sign of infection.

- Consult your vet and treat the cow immediately.

Signs Of Healthy Cows (Part 2)

4) Breathing and pulse

- The animal should have smooth and regular breathing at rest.

- Activity or hot weather will increase the breathing rate.

- The cow's pulse can be felt on the tail and short distance below the base.

- Measure the pulse by holding the tail lightly with thumb and forefinger.

- Normal rate of pulse should be 40 - 80 beats/min in adult animal and slightly higher in young animals.

5) Dung/urine

- The dung of an healthy animal is soft.

- If the dung is watery, means the cow is experiencing diarrhoea.

- If the cow is having difficulty defecating, means there are signs of illness.

- Urine should be clear and the cow should be able to urine with no sign of pain.

6) Appetite and rumination

- Cow should be able to eat and drink normally.

- If feed is available, it will have a full belly.

- When healthy cows are at rest, they will be ruminating.

- If the animal is showing signs of no appetite, it means that there could be signs of ill health.

4) Monitor

Catching any early signs of illness will give you a better chance for effective treatment.

If you suspect an animal is sick, take its temperature.

Consult your veterinarian for treatment protocols that meets your farm requirements.

5) Facing outbreak

Even if we tried our best, sometimes you will face disease outbreak.

Treat the affected animals as soon as possible and aggressively to prevent any long-term damage.

Consider isolating the affected animals to prevent spread of disease.

During an outbreak, consider vaccinating the healthy animals to prevent spread of disease.

While vaccinating will add stress to the animal, when use properly, it can help to prevent the disease during an outbreak.

- Make sure your cows are in healthy condition when receiving vaccinations.

- Make sure the vaccines are kept in good condition before administering it to the animals.

3) Avoid adding stress

Some Tips To Keep Your Cows Healthy This Winter (Part 1)

During winter times, it is usually a challenge for dairy farmers as the wide temperature swings and wet-warm weather will cause the cows to be stressed, leading to increase incidence of disease such as pneumonia.

Here are some tips to prevent and address pneumonia in dairy cows:

1) Good air

- The most important measure in preventing pneumonia is to have good ventilation.

- Open up the curtains during warm and humid days to allow plenty of air flow.

- Open up the windows that have been close to prevent stagnant areas. Heifers housed outdoors with a run-in shed normally do better than those housed indoor due to better ventilation.

- For older barns, consider putting some fans to increase air ventilation.

- Consider having air flow and quality test run on your farm under normal working conditions.

Plan For Successful Dry Season (Part 2)

Here are some other factors that need to be considered to have a successful drying off period:

Consider reducing the amount of milk yield to less than 15kg. This can be achieved by reducing amount of concentrates, energy and protein in the feed and instead, use more fibrous roughage.

Milking routines can be stopped abruptly without too many problems. This is encouraged because milking near to the drying season can make your cattle more susceptible to udder infection.

Provide a clean and dry environment for treatments to be applied to help avoid infections.

Extra attention needs to be paid to the ration during dry period.

It needs to be well balanced during a crucial time. Have a good mixture of energy, protein, minerals, and vitamins so that the cows can maintain a healthy BCS and immune system.

Plan For Successful Dry Season (Part 1)

Dry period is one of the most important stage of the cow's lactation cycle. This is where the herd will prepare for lactation in advance of the calving season and many problems during this phase will adversely affect the health and milk production.

Mastitis is an inflammation reaction in the cow's udder and it usually occurs during dry season. The disease is common among dairy cows and it is very costly as milk production is seriously affected. In some rare cases, mastitis will cause death. Hence, preventive measures need to be taken in order to make sure the cows are free from mastitis.

The udder is very susceptible to infection at the beginning and end of dry period. An intramammary antibiotic can help to eliminate existing infections and prevent any new ones from developing in the first few weeks.
