Dry-bulb temperature, relative humidity, dew point, shaded area, air velocity, and maximum temperature were measured beneath each shed. The temperature-humidity index （THI） and the shading efficiency were calculated for each cowshed. The trials were conducted using 180 lactating Holstein Friesian cows; twenty cows housed beneath each shade structure. Measurements performed on cows were respiration rate, skin temperature, and rectal temperature; moreover, the milk produced by each cow was recorded, and the feed intake. High air velocities were recorded under high shade structures which enhance the aeration; consequently, maximum temperatures, and THI recorded beneath high sheds were less than those recorded beneath low sheds; also, skin temperatures, and respiration rates for cows housed under high sheds were less than those measured for animals housed under low sheds（differences were found to be significant）. Thereby, increasing shed height enhances dairy cows＇ microclimate under Egyptian conditions （hot climate）; consequently, the milk production increases. The best orientation is the east-west orientation, which is preferable for hot climates. The exploitation of cooling has significant effect on microclimate, cooling enhances the ambient environment and provides comfortable zone for dairy cows within which cows reach high production levels.展开更多

The aim of this work is to demonstrate the agreement of production potential of grassland with the strategy of the CAP on the background of commodity milk production. This work is connected with randomly selected 1656 farms from the north-eastern part of the Lublin province remaining the dairy cattle. Source material for analysis was derived from the evaluation reports of dairy farms and the datas of Voivodeship Statistical Office. Taken the average annual milk production and surface of permanent grasslands, were divided into three groups of management direction： I- existing, II- integrated, III- productional In a separate II group of this management, three subgroups were identified dependent on the volume of milk production： A-（20-50）, B-（50-100）, C-（100-350） thousand of liters. In the studied farms the participation of grasslands in the structure of agriculture fanning lands was significantly higher than the average in the region as well as in the country. The largest research group accounted 49.5% of farms producing 20-50 thousand liters of milk with an average area of 21.23 ha and sustained an average of 9.8 cows. Large proportion of permanent grassland in the structure of agricultural lands and large stocking density per 100 ha of grasslands in northeast farms of Lublin province indicate significant intensification of feed production on the farmlands.展开更多

Research has shown that dairy farmers in the region of Fartura had several benefits to organizing themselves as a Local Productive Arrangement or Social Networks, especially in relation to a better pay the price of a gallon of milk. To achieve these results, farmers had to invest to improve technological standards and production processes and thereby increase milk quality and productivity.展开更多

All the EU member states gain 99.6 billion through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, the period 2014-2020, of which Romania has received the total of 8.128 billion euros. Through the 2014-2020 National Rural Development Program （NRDP 2014-2020）, sub-measure 4.2 ＂Support for investment in processing/marketing of agricultural products＂ （2014）, Romania is falling Regulation （EC） 1305/2013 in measure 4 ＂Investments in physical assets＂ （2013） and contributes to increasing the value added of products on local markets and inter-professional organizations, the establishment and development of small businesses and job creation. Until now, in the milk processing sector, investments of 93,918,043 euros were made, about 50% （47,667.41 euros） of which from public funds.展开更多

Growth traits include birth weight （BW）, one-month weight （1 MW）, weaning weight （WW） and 6-month weight （6 MW）. Also the milk production traits was monthly milk production on 2, 3, 4, 5th months （quantitative traits） and some milk composition included dry matter （%DM）, fat （%F）, and protein （%P） percentage on during of production （qualitative traits）. There were no significant differences in sex, birth type and genetic group for BW. Also the effect of genetic groups on 1 MW, WW, and 6 MW was significant, while effects of sex and birth type on 1 MW, WW and 6 MW was not significant. Also MW （Mothe＇s weight） had no significant effect on BW, 1 MW, WW and 6 MW. The average of daily milk records was 0.48 kg for nativel and 1.1 kg for crossed goats. The maximum monthly milk records in two groups were in second month （native： 0.64 -4- 0.05, crossed： 1.44 ~： 0.12） and the minimum were in fifth month （native： 0.36 ＋ 0.03, crossed： 0.77 -4- 0.05）. %DM, %F and %P in 5th month were higher than other months in two groups. Effects of genetic groups on milk production and also on average of%F, %DM and %P were significant. This study showed that the crossbreeding has a significant effect on most milk production and growth traits in Iranian native goats.展开更多
