چکیده
Introduction: SimHerd is a computer model of a dairy herd developed within the research field of animal health economics and continuously refined during the last two decades. The model ́s technical development has been documented in 28 scientific articles. Besides this fruitful scientific application, the potential as a decision support tool in dairy management was acknowledged by StrateKo who initiated a project supported by the Danish Law of Innovation during 2007 to 2009. The specific aim was to develop a user friendly web application of SimHerd in a collaboration between StrateKo, Danish Cattle Federation and Aarhus University.

متن کاملCirculating metabolic hormones in different metabolic states of high producing Holstein dairy cows
Background: Information regarding the metabolic hormones in different metabolic states of high producing dairy cows can aid high producing herds to manage and resolve the metabolic and production problems. Furthermore, it can be considered as a tool to evaluate metabolic status of dairy cows. Herd managers can also evaluate the energy input-output relationships by assessing the metabolic profil...
