Soos ons dit sien
Source: The Dairy Mail 17 (2010)More LessDie nuus dat invoerpermit-aansoeke vir suiwelprodukte vir volgende jaar reeds op 'n baie hoë vlak is, is nie goeie nuus vir melkprodusente nie. Dit impliseer 'n verwagting dat melkvoorsiening nie aan die vraag mag voldoen nie. Dit is egter nie noodwendig net slegte nuus nie.

Meet en meng vir die beste gehalte
Author Izak HofmeyrSource: The Dairy Mail 17, pp 16 –19 (2010)More LessAs ons aanvaar dat 70% van die uitgawes op 'n melkplaas met voer te doen het, dan maak dit sin dat die boer maatreëls in plek sal stel om seker te maak dat hierdie voerinsette so doeltreffend moontlik is, en die uitwerking daarvan in terme van melkproduksie en koeigesondheid, so groot as moontlik is.

Dan Putnam and Steve Orloff from the University of California's cooperative extension service, explain that the fundamental principle of getting a roughage sample, is to get a representative and randomly chosen sample. Each core should represent that bale and enough cores should be taken to represent a specific load or stack.

Is more necessarily better?
Source: The Dairy Mail 17 (2010)More LessCows have traditionally been milked twice daily, but milking three times a day is becoming the norm in America, while there is renewed interest in once-a-day milking in New Zealand. Robotic milking is used on over 1 000 commercial dairy farms in the Northern Hemisphere. Theoretically cows can present themselves for milking many times in a 24-hour period. The question: "What is the appropriate milking frequency for the dairy cow?" is raised by all of these different practices.
