Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 2000 the book Robotic Milking, reflecting the proceedings of an International Symposium which was held in The Netherlands came out. At that time, commercial introduction of automatic milking systems was no longer obstructed by technological inadequacies. Particularly in a few west-European countries, systems were being installed at an increasing rate. However, it was recognised that the changeover from 'traditional' to automatic milking affected the farming operation, herd management and control of milk quality profoundly and that many of the implications were still unknown. So, new challenges in various fields of dairy farming and new research areas emerged. Since this previous International Symposium, much has happened. In general automatic milking has been adopted as a realistic alternative for milking in the 'traditional' milking parlour. Systems have gradually been improved and, maybe even more importantly, farmers have become more familiar with their potential and limitations, both technically and in herd management. The number of farms milking with an automatic milking system has worldwide increased to more than 2.200 by the end of 2003 . From 2000 to now, the level of scientific knowledge on various aspects and consequences of automatic milking has increased largely as well because of research efforts all over the world. A significant share of these efforts has been made within the framework of a EU-granted project on the implications of the introduction of automatic milking on dairy farms. Some seven research institutes and six industrial companies from six countries joined their expertise and experience in order to facilitate a widespread adoption of automatic milking without undesirable side effects. This book reflects the knowledge on automatic milking generated all over the world in the last few years. Its contents can therefore be regarded as the present state of knowledge in the field of automatic milking, for a better understanding."

This book was released on 1975 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavioural studies were conduted on 36 Brown Swiss x Sahiwal (Karan Swiss) crossbred cows. Social behaviour, temerament of the dairy animals, oestrus behaviour and the effect of climatic components on milk production was also studied. The horned animals were found dominant over dehorned animals in a herd and higher weight dehorned were dominant over less weight animals. A highly signifiatn (P0.01) relationship between weight of the cow and dominance rank, r = 0.68 in mixed group and r=0.88 : in dehorned group was observed. The docile cows gave higher milk yield than aggressive animals in the shortest possible time. The nervour cows gave minimum amount of milk at eah milking. The concentrate intake rate was maximum (244.5 12.5 g) in docile animalsand minimum (200.5 13.9 g) in nervour cows. Significant relationship existed between temperament and milking ability, milking time, and milk yield per milking. Crossbred cattle in general showed best heat symptoms from normal to severe intensity. Genetic groups (F1 = 21 cows and 75 : B.S.) showed significant differene between intensities ofoestrus and level of milk production. Seasons had a significant (P0.01) effect onmilk production. Winter, spring andsummer seasonswere superior in milk production as compared torainy, autumn and late autumn seasons. Season had shown ahighly significant (P0.01) effect on duration of oestrus and oestrus activity.

Book excerpt: "Focusing on the impact of housing environments that provide dairy cows with differing levels of movement opportunity, the aims of the studies included in this thesis were to 1) validate the technology that we use to measure locomotor activity within a tie-stall system, 2) determine whether providing tie-stall cows with a deep-bedded loose pen during the dry period increased locomotor activity, improved gait, and benefited lying behaviours, and 3) investigate the differences in locomotor activity and time budget of cows housed in free-stall and strawyard housing systems both in the winter after a restricted period of time indoor and in the summer following a period of free-access to pasture. summation of the information and findings presented in this thesis aim to provide more insight on how housing systems and management practices impact movement opportunity for dairy cows as well as the associated benefits. This can, in turn, lead to better recommendations on the feasible ways – both big and small – that producers can improve cow health and overall well-being through offering the cow something that is intrinsic to her being: the opportunity to move"--
