Cattle From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Cattle Cow with calf Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla Family: Bovidae Subfamily: Bovinae Genus: Bos Species: taurus Binomial name Bos taurus Linnaeus Cattle (called simply cows in vernacular usage) are domesticated ungulates , a member of the subfamily Bovinae of the family Bovidae . They are raised as livestock for meat (called beef and veal dairy products milk leather and as draught animals (pulling carts plows and the like). In some countries, such as India , they are subject to religious ceremonies and respect. It is estimated that there are 1.3 billion head of cattle in the world today Cattle were originally identified by Carolus Linnaeus as three separate species. These were Bos taurus , the European cattle, including similar types from Africa and Asia; Bos indicus , the zebu ; and the extinct Bos primigenius , the aurochs . The aurochs is ancestral to both zebu and European cattle. More recently these three have increasingly been grouped as one species, sometimes using the names Bos primigenius taurus Bos primigenius indicus and Bos primigenius primigenius . Complicating the matter is the ability of cattle to interbreed with other closely related species. Hybrid individuals and even breeds exist, not only between European cattle and zebu but also with

Julie A. Severidt, BS Dennis J. Madden, BS, Necropsy Laboratory Coordinator Gary Mason, DVM, PhD, DACVP Frank Garry, DVM, MS, DACVIM Dan Gould, DVM, PhD, DACVP One of the foremost concerns of dairy producers is the health of their herd. So when an animal dies unexpectedly, it becomes imperative to know the cause of death in case it affects the rest of the herd. The ideal situation would be to have a veterinarian readily available to perform any and all diagnostic work, including a necropsy if necessary. In reality though, it may be difficult to have a veterinarian available at the optimal time to perform a necropsy, which is immediately after the animal's death. In this case, the producer may be able to do a field necropsy in order to gather information and tissue samples for his veterinarian to evaluate, and assist the producer in the treatment of other animals if needed. It is our hope that the information in this manual will enable the dairy producer to work more closely with his/her veterinarian.

North Dakota State University NDSU Extension Service Feeding Barley to Dairy Cattle EB-72, December 1999 Vern Anderson, Animal Scientist, Carrington Research Extension Center J.W. Schroeder, Livestock Specialist Dairy, Department of Animal and Range Sciences Introduction Barley Grain Nutrient Profile of Barley Processing Barley ... Literature Cited Introduction Barley is a versatile feed grain used throughout the world for a wide variety of livestock species. It is grown in temperate to sub-arctic climates with varieties developed for optimum production in respective regions. Barley is the primary livestock feed grain in the areas where it is grown. Feed barley is also transported to grain-deficit areas via truck, train, and ship. Some variation in nutrient content of barley may occur due to variety, weather, and soil fertility, but generally barley provides an excellent balance of protein, energy, and fiber. Barley is widely used in diets for all types of dairy animals, including young calves and growing animals as well as lactating and non-lactating dairy cows. Nutrient requirements for dairy cattle vary with age and stage of production. Optimum milk production results from diets with balanced proportions of "effective" fiber, protein, energy, minerals, and vitamins. Barley is the only grain used in many northern latitude dairies and supports rolling herd averages of 21,000 to 24,000 lb (7,545 to 10,909 kg). Barley is also imported and used successfully in temperate and warmer semi-arid regions as a protein and energy source for milking herds.

67. Archive -- Supplemental Lighting For Dairy Cattle Thus the idea behind the supplemental lighting of lactating dairy cattle is Table 1 Guidelines of Fixtures and Lamps Rated for livestock Facilities 1 http://www.moomilk.com/archive/prod-18.htm

Potential Effects on Production and Profitability Supplemental Lighting for Dairy Cattle Compiled by Jeff Kearnan, Monsanto Summary/Overview M any producers are potentially limiting their milk production in the fall, winter and spring months through improper and inadequate lighting. Six research trials conducted throughout the US and four other nations indicate that proper lighting can increase feeding activity and milk production of lactating dairy cattle. Results show that by adding supplemental lighting to lactating dairy cows to achieve 16 to 18 hours of light per day increased milk production from 5 to 16 percent in research herds. The typical milk production increase was 8 percent (an additional 5 lbs of milk in an average herd) and is coupled with an increase in feed intake of 6%. F rom a profitability standpoint, an average 40 cow tie-stall barn in the Upper Midwest (herd and economic assumptions are included below) would pay for a new lighting system in 96.6 days and could increase income by $2,187.00 over 150 days of use. A 120 stall 4-row freestall barn in the Upper Midwest could pay for a new lighting system in just 38 days and could increase income by $7,498.00 over 150 days of use. Why is Light Important?

Publications Northeast Midwest Western Holstein ... EFD Virtual Farm Show Whole Animal Composting of Dairy Cattle Michael Looper, Ph.D., NMSU Extension Dairy Specialist Even the most well managed dairy operations experience animal loss due to weather, natural causes, and/or illness each year. Rendering services currently pick up most on-farm mortalities. However, with the concern of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE; commonly know as Mad Cow Disease), the feeding of animal-derived protein to cattle is prohibited. This has decreased the need for animal rendering and increased the cost of removing mortalities from the farm. The abundance of stockpiled manure and old feedstuffs on dairy operations make whole animal composting a feasible alternative to carcass disposal. Objectives of this publication are to outline factors that affect proper composting procedures and discuss how to compost cow mortalities on the farm. Proper Composting Procedures Composting is the natural decomposition of organic materials by microorganisms that require oxygen (aerobic). Although many aspects of composting are not exact, there are several factors that affect the success of the composting process which are:

Today Friday, July 15, 2005 9:09 AM CDT Greens Trade Dairy Cattle For Beef By Kelli Gunderson, Livestock Editor Mike Green When Mike Green moved from Virginia to Wisconsin 20 years ago, he did so to evade the growing number of city folks encroaching upon his family's farm near Culpeper, Va. "Mike was probably only an hour to an hour and a half away from Washington, D.C., and it was starting to get really busy," explains Mike's wife, Pam, whom Mike met after moving to Wisconsin. Now, at the couple's farm northwest of Richland Center, wide open spaces allow Mike to worry less about the population of people and more about the population of giant ragweed. "It was a challenge trying to find someone to help on the dairy, so we decided to switch to beef," Pam says. The Greens sold their dairy cows this past November and have since replaced them with an 80-cow herd of Herefords and about 200 organic feeder steers that they purchased from North Dakota, Iowa and Missouri. The steers represent several breeds, including Red and Black Angus and British Whites. Several dairy heifers also make their home on the Greens' farm, as an FFA project for Mike and Pam's son Preston. He took what was left of the crossbred heifers from his parents' dairy and is raising them, along with other organic heifers, for organic dairy producers.

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association December 1, 2002 AVMA Home AVMA Journals Home JAVMA online ... News AABP embraces disabled livestock, dairy cattle welfare guidelines As recommended by the AABP Animal Welfare Committee, the AABP board of directors endorsed the position on disabled livestock that the AVMA adopted in June 2002 ( see JAVMA July 15, 2002 , page 181, or call (800) 248-2862, Ext. 6666). The new position distinguishes between terminal and nonterminal markets. The committee also endorsed the animal welfare guidelines on dairy cattle released recently by the Food Marketing Institute and the National Council of Chain Restaurants. The committee assisted in developing them. Veal calf guidelines are under review, and beef cattle guidelines are being formulated. The FMI/NCCR program brings together experts in veterinary medicine, animal science, and agricultural production. They are identifying science-based, objective, measurable indices for desirable practices in the growing, handling, and processing of food animals. In 2001, the AVMA also joined the effort. According to Dr. James Reynolds of Visalia, Calif., chair of the AABP Animal Welfare Committee, now the dairy quality assurance guidelines need to be marketed to educate producers. To help producers come into compliance, the Dairy and Beef Quality Assurance Center in Stratford, Iowa, has developed a booklet and software for distribution through veterinarians. This fall, the AABP committee intends to test-market the booklet on clients at the University of California-Davis.

G93-1141-A Dairy Cattle Insect Management Information on controlling flies, lice, grubs and mange mites on dairy cattle is found here. John B. Campbell, Extension Entomologist Previous Category Catalog Order Info Fly Control ... Mange Mites Read and understand the label on every insecticide used for any purpose at a dairy. If instructions for use on dairy cattle or dairy premises are not on the label, do not use the insecticide. For example, some insecticides used for crop insects cannot be used at dairies (as stated on the label) because of the possibility of insecticide residues in the milk. Label directions may be different for lactating and nonlactating dairy cattle. Most insecticides used on beef animals also can be used on nonlactating dairy cattle, but there may be restrictions on time of treatment prior to freshening. Keep pesticides in original containers and in locked storage. Do not contaminate milk, feed or water when using an insecticide. Fly Control Sanitation. House, stable and blow flies may be pests of dairy cattle kept on lots. These flies (filth flies) breed in spilled feed, bedding, decaying organic matter and manure mixed with moisture, dirt and organic matter. Sanitation is the first and most important step in control of filth flies. Clean cattle pens, drainage areas, loafing sheds, stalls, feeding aprons, spilled feed and other decaying organic matter at 10-day intervals to minimize fly breeding. If this decaying organic matter is spread on fields, spread it thin enough for rapid drying. The material can be spread in the lot and, when dry, incorporated into mounds or low spots within the lot.

G. Koehler and J. F. Butler Flies Flies ( Figure 4 ) are characterized by having one pair of wings. They have complete metamorphosis with egg, larva, pupa and adult stages in their life history. About 20 families of flies are of veterinary importance. One of the most outstanding characteristics of flies is their ability to be in contact with livestock for only short periods of time. Adequate control can sometimes be difficult since measures must applied at precisely the right time. Blood-Sucking Flies Black Flies Black flies ( Figure 1 ) are small, dark, stout-bodied flies with a humpbacked appearance. The adult females suck blood mainly during daylight hours and are not host specific. The black fly is a potential disease vector in Florida. It hovers about the eyes, ears and nostrils of animals, often alighting and puncturing the skin with an irritating bite. Large numbers of bites may cause weakness from blood loss, anaphylactic shock or death. CREDITS: J. F. Butler, University of Florida

80. Nutrient Requirements Of Dairy Cattle The 1988 Nutrient Requirements of dairy cattle discussed for the first time both Composition of feeds commonly used in dairy cattle rations (as fed). http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/DS087

Whole Document Navigator (Click Here) Top of Document FEEDING STANDARDS -Figures -Protein FEEDS AND THEIR COMPOSITION FORMULATING DAIRY RATIONS Footnotes Nutrient Requirements of Dairy Cattle Barney Harris, Jr. Proper feeding and good balanced rations remain the cornerstone of a successful dairy operation. Milk yield per cow and the cost of feed to produce milk have by far the greatest influence on profitability in a dairy operation. If a dairy is to be successful, the dairymen must continually strive to adopt practices that allow the greatest output of milk at the most economical cost. Successful dairying in the future will depend on high levels of milk production, culling for low production, controlling feed costs, and using good replacements. Cow identification and good records make good feeding practices possible. Without milk production records, it is difficult to feed according to milk production or to use any well-designed group feeding system. Milk yields per cow continue to increase annually as reported by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service. Average production per cow in the United States reported in 1975 was 10,360 lbs as compared to 14,213 lbs in 1988. Much of this increase in milk production is due to better nutrition and feeding, overall management practices and the genetic improvement of the cow population. FEEDING STANDARDS Feeding standards have been used since the late 1800s to help guide nutritionists and livestock producers in formulating rations and feeding livestock. Periodically, the standards are updated to encompass the most current research information available. The standards that are now available, entitled "Nutrient Requirements of Dairy Cattle," were updated in 1988 by a subcommittee on Dairy Cattle Nutrition of the National Research Council.
