Facilitating adaptive capacity in early lactation
7 important questions on Facilitating adaptive capacity in early lactation
Name three strategies to facilitate adaptive capacity in cows
- Selection and breeding strategies
- Nutritional strategies
- Management strategies
What can you do with a selection and breeding strategy?
Or health and fertility
What can you do with nutritional strategies in facilitating adaptive capacity?
- Increase energy intake
- Improve energy utilization
- Reduce (milk) energy output
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Which management strategies can you use to facilitate adaptive capacity in cows?
- Reduce stress
- Reduce dry period length
Which forms of stress can a cow experience?
- Heat stress
- Social stress
- Ration transitions
How can you reduce heat stress?
- Water availability
- Ventilation
- Feeding (timing --> Cool moments, grain to forage ratio --> higher energy intake same DMI)
What are the effects of continuous milking of the cow (no dry period)?
- improves dry matter intake
- improves energy balance
- reduces health risks
- reduces days to first ovulation
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
