Study of the Status and Causes of Culling In Dairy Cattle in Qazvin Province
One of the most important and complex management decisions in dairy farms that greatly affects the economy and profitability of the dairy herd is the issue of culling. Regarding the importance of the subject, this study aimed to investigate the culling status and causes of Holstein dairy cattle in Qazvin province.

متن کاملEffect of Johne's disease status on reproduction and culling in dairy cattle.
Among the costs attributed to Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP) infection in dairy cattle, the effects on reproduction and culling are the least documented. To estimate the cost of MAP infections and Johne's disease in a dairy herd, the rates of calving and culling were calculated for cows in each stage of MAP infection relative to uninfected cows. Data from 6 commercial dairy her...
متن کاملVariance components of clinical mastitis in dairy cattle — effects of trait definition and culling
First lactation clinical mastitis records for Norwegian cattle from 1978 onwards were analysed. Variance components for clinical mastitis were estimated with a linear sire model using records of more than 500,000 daughters of 2043 sires. Heritability increased slightly as the period for sampling health data increased, and the longest period analysed (from 15 2 days before calving to 210 days af...
متن کاملCattle genomics and its implications for future nutritional strategies for dairy cattle.
The recently sequenced cattle (Bos taurus) genome unraveled the unique genomic features of the species and provided the molecular basis for applying a systemic approach to systematically link genomic information to metabolic traits. Comparative analysis has identified a variety of evolutionary adaptive features in the cattle genome, such as an expansion of the gene families related to the rumen...
متن کاملPhonetic Explanations for Sound Patterns: Implications for Grammars of Competence
Phonological grammars try to represent speakers’ knowledge so that the ‘natural’ behavior of speech sounds becomes self-evident. Phonetic models have the same goals but have no psychological pretensions. Phonetic models succeed in explaining the natural behavior of speech, whereas phonological representations largely fail. The ‘phonetic naturalness’ requirement in phonological grammars should b...
