Whole-farm Phosphorus Management on Dairy Farms
Most dairy farms in Wisconsin continue to follow a fairly generalized formula of how to produce milk. Cows and replacement heifers are fed primarily homegrown feed from crop rotations comprising alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), corn (Zea mays L.), oats (Avena spp.) and soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.). Protein and mineral supplements are purchased to compliment dairy diets. However, the dairy indust...
متن کاملDairy farm cost efficiency.
A stochastic cost equation was estimated for US dairy farms using national data from the production year 2000 to determine how farmers might reduce their cost of production. Cost of producing a unit of milk was estimated into separate frontier (efficient) and inefficiency components, with both components estimated as a function of management and causation variables. Variables were entered as im...
متن کاملRanking Dairy Sires by a Linear Programming Dairy Farm Model
Dairy sires were ranked for overall merit by an average daughter's contribution to farm net profit. Biological characteristics of sires and economic factors of a dairy farm were linked by linear programming. Availability and constraints of resources were in the model. Average daughter's returns over variable costs attributable to sire proofs for several traits was the measure of sire's net meri...

It can manage dairy cow disease from each stage including cow file creation, routine monitoring, disease prevention and control. Integrate electronic medical records was set up, which based on medical records include cow basic information and routine monitoring re...
متن کاملQuantifying the Contributions to Dairy Farm Business Risk: Implications for Producer’s Risk Management Strategies
The major sources of variability in net farm income on New York dairy farms over the past 10 years are identified using Dairy Farm Business Summary records. The most important source of income variability is the fluctuation in milk prices, followed closely by year-to-year variation in the quantity of purchased feeds. These results suggest that forward pricing of milk and feed purchases may be e...
