Objective: Salmonellosis is a bacterial disease with a rising prevalence in the cattle industry. It is most common in dairy calves one to ten weeks of age. Salmonellosis has a serious economic impact on the cattle industry worldwide. Methods: In May 2013, a three months old male Holstein calf with the history of lateral recumbency was referred to veterinary hospital with severe depression, cach...

Data were collected on the heart girth (n = 8,565; a measure of body weight) and height at withers (n = 8,568) of Holstein dairy heifers from 659 dairy farms as part of the National Dairy Heifer Evaluation Project during 1991 and 1992. Means and standard deviations for weight and height were determined for ages .5 to 23.5 mo. Third-order polynomial regression equations were derived to study the...

This study was aimed to determinate the best model predict milk dry matter in high yielding dairy cattle. Level of (MDM) (%) is great importance. The material this consisted 2208 milking records cattle more than 40 l per day from Polish Holstein Friesian population. In estimate matter, regression daily yield (MY) (l), urea (MU), protein (MP) and fat (MF) as explanatory variables were used. To f...

The study was carried out in Sahiwal, Holstein Friesian, Jersey and crossbred cattle and Murrah, Bhadwari, Jaffarabadi, Nagpuri and Surti buffaloes maintained at different organized herds to work out the polymorphism at growth hormone locus and study its effect on birth weight. A 223 bp fragment of the gene was amplified and digested with Alu I restriction enzyme. Two alleles, L and V with thre...

External and internal factors can affect the body of livestock. consist climate, offering feed, maintenance management. Internal include biological aspects lactating dairy. This research was conducted to see microclimate relationship between milk production proportion lactation. study aims identify evaluate Friesian Holstein dairy cattle productivity based on in BPTSP HPT Cikole. used survey me...

this study was carried out in the winter of the year 2007 in a dairy herd at the vicinity of tehran (eslamshahr). measurements were performed on 18 holstein cows during first-lactation. five holstein dairy cattle were randomly selected and clinically studied, too. length of the claw’s dorsal flexure was measured with a ruler and also the hooves trimmed in the toe vertically for measuring of the...

There are several different milking management systems in Latin America, because Gir cattle are reputed to be easily stressed and not well adapted to machine-milking. This paper, therefore, provides an overview of hormone release and behavior during suckling and milking in Gir cows and their cross-bred offspring. Several experiments were performed to study oxytocin release during exclusive suck...

Objective: The cows that don’t have access to sufficient energy in their ration can get sickness. Milk production has a high priority in metabolism of dairy cows so lactating cows are more prone to get sick This can ruin all the benefits of higher milk yield because of the higher prevalence of the disorders. Methods: Data for this research had gathered from a herd with 1600 Holstein cattle in E...

seven hundred and sixty-eight blood samples of pregnant cattle from four holstein dairy herds that are farmed in the vicinity of tehran were used to evaluate the seroprevalence of neospora caninum infection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). two hundred and ninety-eight of the 768 blood samples (38.8%) were positive for this infection. the prevalence of infection in the herds varied ...
