Reduction
in milk production is one of the major economic impacts of climatic stress in
dairy cattle. Decrease in milk yield due to heat stress is more prominent in
Holstein than in Jersey cattle [1].
Decreased synthesis of hepatic glucose and lower non esterified fatty acid
(NEFA) level in blood during heat stress [2,
3, 4] causes reduced glucose supply to the mammary glands resulting
low lactose synthesis which in turn ensues low milk yield [5]. Reduction in milk yield is further
intensified by decrease in feed consumption by the animals to compensate high
environmental temperature [5, 6].
Reduced
milk production due to heat stress is attributable only partly to decrease in
feed intake [7]. Actually 35% of reduced
milk production is due to decreased feed intake while remaining 65% is
attributable to direct effect of heat stress [7].
Other factors resulting reduced milk production during heat stress are
decreased nutrient absorption, effect in rumen function and hormonal status and
increased maintenance requirement resulting reduced net energy supply for
production [8, 9].
Milk
production in cow has been found to be reduced when ambient temperature and
temperature humidity index increases above critical threshold [10, 11]. Heat stress during 60 days prepartum
period negatively affects postpartum milk production [12] and cows parturated during summer produce less milk as
compared to other season [17]. Similarly,
quantity of milk protein and solid not fat (SNF) have been found to be reduced
during heat stress in dairy cattle [7, 13, 14].
Mallonee [15]
reported 20% less milk yield in cattle kept in sun than milk yield in cattle
kept in shed. Similarly, Roman-Ponce [16]
found 10.7% higher milk production in cows kept in shed than that in cows kept
in sun during hot weather.
The Holstein and Jersey dairy breeds have emerged to be the top two breeds in the world and their popularity is primarily due to the two breeds having the ability to convert large quantities of forage-based diets into milk and milk components. As mentioned by Underwood JP ( Illini Dairy Net) made a comparison between these two major breeds for their performance in the USA.
ReplyDeleteFor the year 1999, registered Holsteins averaged on a 305-day M.E. basis, 24,291 pounds milk, 3.66 percent milk fat, 888 pounds milk fat, 3.15 percent milk protein, and 765 pounds milk protein.
Registered Jerseys averaged 16,997 pounds milk, 4.57 percent milk fat, 776 pounds milk fat, 3.72 percent milk protein, and 633 pounds milk protein.
Comparative features of the two Breeds (something that should be considered in formulating dairy policy with regards to breed selection and promotion in countries like Nepal):
Holsteins are more profitable than Jerseys under fluid milk markets and in the sale of market cows and bull calves.
Jerseys are competitive with Holsteins under component milk markets.
Holsteins and Jerseys have similar feed efficiency.
Jerseys are superior in reproductive efficiency.**
**Reproduction Efficiency and performance under poor management should be given huge emphasis in conditions prone to climatic and other stresses.

Thx for your post. I’d like to write my opinion that the expense of car insurance varies from one insurance plan to another, due to the fact there are so many different facets which contribute to the overall cost. Such as, the model and make of the auto will have a massive bearing on the price. A reliable outdated family motor vehicle will have an inexpensive premium compared to a flashy sports vehicle.

ReplyDeletePrecision agriculture is the practice of growing crops using highly advanced technology, such as geospatial techniques and sensors. This type of agriculture has been practiced for a long time now. It is usually done using GPS technology that utilizes images from satellites to study variations in the state of the crops and to study the condition of the soil. Mandi Bhav Today
