MANAGEMENT OF DAIRY CATTLE
Keywords:
dairy, cattle, production, management, farmsAbstract
Management of dairy cattle is a crucial factor for optimal production on dairy farms. It helps in the successful management of several factors necessary to maintain a high level of milk production. They are enabling optimal nutrition of the cattle, enabling the conditions for normal reproduction of the cattle, enabling optimal living conditions for the cattle and optimal lactation of the cattle. In addition to these factors, there are others, among which are the management of weather changes, the provision of efficient and effective transportation and the management of financial costs. Therefore, it is necessary to create systems that include all these elements, which makes the management of dairy cattle quite complex.
When all these conditions are met, it is necessary to constantly evaluate them in order to detect potential changes that may affect dairy cattle. In that way, efficient and effective operation of milk production farms is enabled.
