Book Description
Excerpt from Milk Production Cost Accounts: Principles and Methods The idea of pre-calculating feed costs has, as far as is known, never been suggested before. At first thought it may seem im practical. Nearly all scientific and successful practical feeders of dairy cattle, however, have full confidence in the reverse of the formula recommended herein. On a basis of the re verse of the formula, or with some other standard, they com pute the feed requirements of their cows. The value of a method for pre-calculating costs is obvious. Without it milk costs are only history, and when finally computed are not applicable under changed prices of feed. The value of the method suggested herein is that by the use of it cost may be determined at any time. It is only necessary to know the kind and prices of feed. With the systems now in general use the records of milk costs merely show what the cost has been and may not apply when one feed has gone up in price and another down. The author is looking to the ideal condi tion when we shall be able to figure milk prices as accurately as the modern shop manager who, given the prices of material and labor, can figure to a fraction of a cent the cost of pro ducing certain articles. The formula used herein is based on Armsby 1 Energy Tables and Maintenance Standard, com bined with Eckles 2 Milk Standards. The author is aware of the fact that there is some difier ence of opinion as to which feeding standard is most nearly accurate, and the standard here used may be changed slightly without seriously affecting the use of the method. Such modi fication as the user wishes to make or finds desirable may be applied with little change of formula. Even another standard or basis of food requirement may be used. The Feed Unit System with the Scandinavian Feeding Standard may easily be substituted. This system would be even more simple and would no doubt give satisfactory results. The Energy Method is used because it is growing in favor in this country at the present time and has given excellent results in practice.

Book Description
This book was written by undergraduate students at The Ohio State University (OSU) who were enrolled in the class Introduction to Environmental Science. The chapters describe some of Earth's major environmental challenges and discuss ways that humans are using cutting-edge science and engineering to provide sustainable solutions to these problems. Topics are as diverse as the students, who represent virtually every department, school and college at OSU. The environmental issue that is described in each chapter is particularly important to the author, who hopes that their story will serve as inspiration to protect Earth for all life.

Optimum Dairy Cow Replacement Policies to Maximize Income Over Feed Cost

Book Description
Simulation of a dairy herd over a period of 15 years was used to examine replacement strategies among six operationally practical systems of culling cows which whould maximize income over feed costs. The strategies or criteria used to remove the lower ranking cows to a relatively constant herd size were: (1) Mature Equivalent (M.E.) milk production, (2) M.E. gross milk income, (3) actual milk production, (4) actual gross income, (5) income over feed cost, and (6) present value of expected gross income of cow and her subsequent replacements. Two each of prices of milk, fat differential, feed, and operational costs totaled 2 4 x 6 x 2 replications per trial or 192 replications. The following were treated as stochastic variables: (a) variation in milk production and milkfat percentage between cows and between lactations of the same cow, (b) chance of a calf being a heifer or bull, (c) chance of involuntary death or removal of cows and youngstock, and (d) chance of month of the year of involuntary removals. The mean and variance of the base herd approximated the average Michigan DHIA Holstein population in 1966. The sire value, approximating the best bulls used in A.I. was identical for any given year through all strategies and replications, but improved over time at the rate of 130 1b milk per year. Culls or cows removed because of low in each respective strategy were removed at the most profitable point to cull in their respective lactations by equating the milk income of the marginal month with the sun of the month's feed costs and monthly operational charges. Practical use of this simple method of determining when to cull cows within a lactation was demonstrated. A complete factorial design to analyze the generates data showed no significant differences between strategies under alternative combinations of prices in average income including salvage over feed cost per cow discounted to the present. This income was affected by the level of milk price (P
