DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT 4th February Farm management notes for February 2003 Dairying management Housing and heat detection February is a peak month for service in many dairy herds. Good heat detection is critical for successful re-breeding so additional management is now required. It is estimated that a missed heat can cost up to £100 so every effort should be made to spot cows coming into season. Providing the right environment both to encourage cows to come on heat and be seen is crucial in proper herd fertility management. Comfortable beds In the average dairy herd, one cow in every six will become lame at some point during winter housing. Remember lameness reduces fertility. The more time a cow spends lying down the less likely she is to become lame. Good bedding can increase lying time by up to 20% and is an essential element in acceptable cow comfort and performance. Good lighting A combination of poorly lit cattle courts and short day-length discourages cows coming on heat. Experimental work both in the USA and the UK shows that milk yields in cows can be increased by 6-8% by allowing up to 18 hours of light in dairy buildings every 24 hours. The cost of extra lighting will easily pay for itself especially if economy tariffs can be utilised. The other benefits of extra light is improved herd fertility, largely as a result of easier and more effective heat detection. AI facilities Failure of cows to hold to service is one of the most annoying management problems in dairy herds. Every effort should be made to provide good holding and handling facilities for cows being presented for service. The aim should be to minimise stress both on the cow and the inseminator. Try not to introduce changes to the normal grouping and feeding routine for cows during the main service period.

See under Departments of Agronomy and Range Science; Agricultural and Resource Economics; Environmental Horticulture; Land, Air and Water Resources; Plant Pathology; Pomology; Vegetable Crops; and Viticulture and Enology. Related Major Programs. The major relies on courses taught in conjunction with numerous other major programs, particularly Plant Biology Agricultural Systems and Environment , and Agricultural and Resource Economics. The Major Program The Crop Science and Management major trains students in biological and natural sciences and economics as they apply to the production, protection, and maintenance of crop plants, and their quality following harvest. The Program. Students majoring in crop science and management spend the first two years of study developing the scientific and general background necessary for upper division work. The science courses include chemistry, biology, botany, physics, and mathematics. Management courses include economics and accounting. General background is provided by courses in the social sciences/humanities (English, rhetoric, and the general education program). At the upper division level, students take courses in areas supportive of crop science and farm management, such as entomology, weed science, water and soil science, plant pathology, nematology, plant physiology and agricultural economics. Students may specialize by electing courses pertinent to specific crop types (vegetables, fruits and nuts, small grains, or nursery crops).

Hippology General Livestock Judging Contest: The General Livestock Judging Contest requires judgment ability to select/rank four animals from best to worst for either breeding purposes or sale of meat (slaughter) purposes. This contest involves three species: beef cattle, swine, and sheep. This skill is important when selecting animals that are ready for slaughter or as breeding animals. These animals should have the desired traits as sought by the meat animal industry and ultimately the consumer. Along with visual appraisal, this contest also adds performance data to some classes. This gives the judges some concrete information beyond what can be visually observed. In larger contest, this contest also requires oral reasons, which is a verbal justification for your placing. A perfect score on a class is "50". Top Dairy Cattle Judging Contest: The Dairy Cattle Judging Contest requires judgment ability to select/rank four animals from best to worst based on an industry "ideal". This skill is important when buying or culling animals that will be profitable. This selection process is based on visual appraisal as opposed to evaluation of milk performance data or DHIA records. In larger contests, this contest also requires oral reasons, which is a verbal justification for your placing. A perfect score is "50".

Home General Information Research Program SCOAR ... Site Index Frequently Asked Questions About Organic Farming What is organic farming What does certified organic mean www.ams.usda.gov/nop Is organic food more nutritious than conventional food? www.omri.org Is organic food safe? Yes. Organic food is as safe to consume as any other kind of food. Just as with any kind of produce, consumers should wash before consuming to ensure maximum cleanliness. As cited above, organic produce contains significantly lower levels of pesticide residues than conventional produce. It is a common misconception that organic food could be at greater risk of E. coli contamination because of raw manure application although conventional farmers commonly apply tons of raw manure as well with no regulation whatsoever. Organic standards set strict guidelines on manure use in organic farming: either it must be first composted, or it must be applied at least 90 days before harvest, which allows ample time for microbial breakdown of any pathogens. Is organic food really a significant industry?
