Background: Lameness is a huge problem in intensive livestock production, leading to enormous losses terms of stress animals, less reproductive ability and increased chances mastitis. Zero grazing system needed for today’s but it has also led lameness chances, unnecessarily body condition score mastitis incidences. On the other hand, pasture promotes cows exhibit natural behaviour, which improv...

Breeds were compared for differences in BW (n = 56,731), heights (n = 51,407) and body condition scores (BCS, n = 56,371) of 2to 8-yr-old cows from four cycles of the Germplasm Evaluation (GPE) Program at the U. S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC). Angus, Hereford, and topcross cows from 22 breeds of sires were produced. The mixed model for repeated measures of BW, height, and BCS included ra...

Dobrobit životinja predstavlja procjenu stanja kojima reagiraju na podražaje iz okoline. Precizna procjena dobrobiti podrazumijeva multidisciplinaran pristup, a suvremen evaluacijski protokol uključuje mjerenja životinjama i koja uključuju smještaj, hranidbu upravljanje farmom. Svrha ovoga istraživanja bila je odrediti varijabilnost biokemijskih hematoloških pokazatelja, kao tjelesnu kondiciju,...
