Tropical Dairy Farming
Author: John MoranPublisher: Landlinks Press
ISBN: 064309976X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
Tropical Dairy Farming is a manual designed for use by dairy production advisors working in tropical areas, especially in South-East Asia. It aims to increase the productivity of small holder dairy farmers in the humid tropics by improving the feeding management of their livestock. It shows how to provide dairy cows with cost-effective feeds that match small holder farming systems and discusses the major obstacles to improving feeding management in the humid tropics. The author shows the benefits and drawbacks of various feed components and the calculation of balanced diets based mainly on forages combined with some supplementary feeding. Diseases and problems associated with unbalanced diets are also covered, as well as important information on growing and conserving quality forages as silage. The book draws on examples from a variety of countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, China, East Timor and the Philippines.

Effect of Hay Or Rate of Grain Supplementation on Performance of Lactating Dairy Cows Fed Clipped Pasture Forage

Book Description
Pasture is considered one of our most important agricultural crops, contributing more than one third of all feed consumed by livestock in the United States. High quality pasture has been recognized to be highly important in efficient milk production. It has been shown, however, that good pasture must be supplemented by concentrates if milk production is to be maintained at a high level. A pasture mixture developed at the Utah Agriculture Experiment Station has yielded considerably more total digestible nutrients per acre than other roughages or farm grains commonly grown in Utah. Concentrates tend to be relatively more expensive than roughages. If part of the concentrates generally recommended for milk production could be replaced by high yielding pasture or good quality alfalfa hay without loss of production it would be economically advantageous to the dairy farmer. As the amount of grain fed is reduced, it appears likely that cows on pasture will consume more pasture forage or milk production and body weight will be affected adversely. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the effects on pasture consumption, persistancy of milk production and body weight changes of feeding hay or various amounts of grain to lactating cows fed clipped pasture forage.

Feedpads for Grazing Dairy Cows
Author: John MoranPublisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 0643102167
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
This book is the first detailed and comprehensive guide to the use of feedpads in the dairy industry, from planning and construction to day-to-day management, written especially for farmers. With ongoing droughts and access to water driving up the cost of conserved forages and feeding concentrates, feedpads offer flexible and efficient systems to maximise returns on feeding expensive supplements to grazing dairy cows, and form part of the risk management strategy for dairy farms. Feedpads for Grazing Dairy Cows covers all the aspects of animal husbandry involved in running a successful system and addresses key issues such as formulating rations to balance grazed pasture, management of farm labour and effluent management. The key principles of dairy nutrition are explained along with the concept of partial mixed rations and the range of potential ingredients. The authors also cover the physical features of feedpad design and construction and provide a checklist for planning a feedpad. They discuss important issues such as cow welfare, animal health and the management of effluent, including cleaning the pad, storing and recycling these solids and liquids on farm while minimising feedpad odours, flies and vermin. This book demonstrates a wide range of long-term economic benefits and will play an important role in helping dairy farmers achieve higher farm profitability.
