The document discusses the differences between conventional and pasture-raised animal agriculture. Conventional methods involve keeping animals in concentrated animal feeding operations where they are fed corn, soy, and waste products and have little space to move. This results in unnatural growth rates and higher stress levels. Pasture-raised methods allow animals to roam freely and eat natural diets, resulting in healthier animals and food products with more nutrients. The document criticizes conventional practices like keeping sows confined in crates where they cannot turn around while pregnant and calls for consumers to be concerned about these issues and act to change current agricultural systems.

Feeds & Feeding Management Of Goats1
This document provides information on feeding and feeding management of goats. It discusses the feeding habits and digestive system of goats, important roughages and concentrates in goat diets, nutrient requirements, and feeding recommendations for different classes of goats including kids, pregnant/lactating does, and bucks. The key points covered are the selective browsing nature of goats, importance of colostrum feeding for kids, feeding recommendations for kids up to breeding age, increased nutrient demands during pregnancy and lactation, and adjusting feed amounts based on production levels.
Grouping and nutritional strategies for dairy heifers
This document discusses strategies for grouping and feeding dairy heifers. It emphasizes the importance of measuring heifer height, weight, and body condition score to evaluate nutritional management. Heifers should be grouped by size, not age, and moved to the next group when consistent in size. Rations should be tailored to the heifers' stage of growth and balanced to support gains without becoming overconditioned before calving. Close-up heifers require similar transition rations as mature cows. Proper grouping, nutrition, and record keeping are essential to maximize heifer productivity and lifetime profitability.
Heifer Nutrition Birth to Weaning
Jan Kleinschmidt talks about the importance of nutrition from birth to weaning. She covers topics like preparing the dam, colostrum management, milk replacers, calf starter, feeding hay, and weaning.
Ahimsak (vegan) lifestyle by sanjay jain
This document discusses the dairy industry and makes the case for adopting a vegan lifestyle. It provides details on the treatment of dairy cows, including being artificially impregnated repeatedly, separated from their calves, and sent to slaughter once their milk production declines. The environmental impacts of dairy farming are also outlined. Health benefits of a vegan diet are presented, and it is argued that Jainism promotes non-violence and thus veganism. Alternatives to dairy products in cooking are suggested. The conclusion is that drinking cow's milk is neither the cow's choice nor a right.
Care and management of calving cow
The document provides guidance on caring for cows before, during, and after calving. It discusses isolating cows that are close to calving, monitoring for signs that calving is imminent, and what to do during each stage of the calving process. It also covers caring for the newborn calf, ensuring it receives colostrum, and general feeding and health practices for mother and calf in the days and weeks after birth.
Jaylor: Foot Problems: A Nutritionist's Nightmare
This document discusses foot problems as a major issue for nutritionists in dairy herds. Laminitis, caused by factors like subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA), is a major non-infectious cause of lameness. Nutritional factors like grain levels and quality, forage fiber content, and transition diets can all influence the development of SARA and laminitis. Proper management of factors like bunk space, feeding schedules, and cow comfort are also important to prevent lameness and foot problems.

Managing a dairy cow
Dairy cows need to be fed the right quality and quantity of feed at all stages of growth, production, and maturity in order to produce optimal milk. The available local fodder may not provide sufficient nutrients, especially during dry seasons. Poor dairy management can lead to lost milk production, lower growth rates, and worse body condition. Supplementing dairy cow feed with strategic fodder, nutrients, and beneficial microbes can help improve digestion and maximize nutrient extraction and absorption to sustain high milk production levels. This guarantees farmers will get more milk, more calves, and healthier dairy cows.

This document discusses nutritional strategies for sustainable dairy development. It explains that balanced nutrition is important for maintenance, reproduction, production and health of dairy cows. Both undernutrition and overnutrition can negatively impact fertility. Key nutritional factors that influence reproduction include energy, protein, minerals like phosphorus, copper, selenium, zinc, iodine, cobalt, and vitamins A and E. Maintaining proper mineral and vitamin levels is important for fertility and herd health. The document provides details on how deficiencies of various nutrients can delay puberty, reduce conception rates, and decrease milk production.Jaylor: Managing Variability in Feed Ingredients and Feed Delivery
Feed costs on dairies make up a considerable portion of the total costs of milk production. In many cases feed costs can be up to or greater than 60 % of the total cost of production. It's important to get the most from your feeding system. Learn how to get the most out of your feeding system.
Dairy farming the art of milk production
This document discusses the importance of supplementing dairy cow feed with microbes. It notes that in East Africa, a key challenge for the dairy industry is the lack of quality feed and nutrients. Supplementing cow feed with microbes can maximize nutrient extraction and utilization, leading to increased milk production while decreasing waste. The microbes break down fibrous feed, produce microbial proteins, and secret enzymes and vitamins. Their inclusion in feed introduces energy, protein and improves overall feed quality and digestibility. Regular supplementation reduces dung output and improves cow health. The document advocates for microbe supplementation as an essential part of sustainable, high-producing dairy farming.
Feeding Fat to Dairy Cows
Jaylor’s Ruminant Nutritionist, Janet Kleinschmidt, explains why adding fat to the diet of dairy cows become a common practice for most high production herds.
The Challenges of Feeding Your Goat Herd, J.D. Kleinschmidt
This document discusses challenges for goat producers feeding their herds during times of drought and high feed costs. It experienced the worst drought in over 50 years in 2012, reducing corn and soybean yields. This impacts livestock production and food prices. For goat producers, it means having less quality forage available. Feeding silage can help but carries risks if not stored properly, as spoiled silage can cause listeriosis in goats. The document provides several strategies for goat producers to deal with limited 2012 feed supplies, such as sourcing additional forages, using non-forage fiber sources in diets, focusing on proper forage harvesting and storage, and testing forages.
Equine Final paper, experience
The document discusses the author's experience working with a variety of large animal species on farms and as a farrier. It provides details on the different breeds raised including horses, cattle, sheep, goats and pigs. The author outlines their experience with breeding, nutrition, housing, preventative healthcare and reproductive cycles for various species. Specific protocols for vaccination and deworming of horses and ruminants are also discussed.
Dairy Cattle Husbandry
This document summarizes three dairy cattle farming systems:
1. Grazing system - cattle graze on natural or improved pasture with minimal supplemental feeding. Requires least inputs.
2. Grazing with supplemental feeding - cattle graze and receive supplemental crops/concentrates when housed. More production than grazing alone but requires more labor and inputs.
3. Zero grazing - cattle are housed and all feed is brought to them. Highest production potential but also highest labor and investment requirements. Choice of system depends on factors like climate, land availability, labor, and market access. Intensification increases production but also costs and risks which must be carefully considered.
Mola plus combined_educational_material
This document discusses effective fodder utilization and nutrient supplementation in dairy farming. It notes that feeding dairy animals in East and Central Africa has been constrained by lack of quality feeds. While stakeholders have tried to address this, there remains a gap in maximizing nutrient extraction from available feeds and supplementing essential proteins, energy, minerals and vitamins. The document emphasizes the importance of rumen microbes in breaking down fibrous feeds and producing microbial protein. It recommends dairy farmers deliberately maximize nutrient extraction from feeds through strategic fodder utilization and supplementation of microbes, proteins, energy, minerals and vitamins. This ensures optimal milk production, health of dairy cows, and more profitable dairy farming.
15 selection of breeders
The document discusses selection goals for beef cattle breeding including traits like birth weight, weaning weight, feed efficiency, and carcass traits. It also discusses the selection and management of breeding bulls and cows/heifers. Key points covered include selecting high quality bulls based on genetic performance records, using mature bulls for around 40 cows but younger bulls for 15 cows, observing bulls after the first turnout and in the fourth week of mating to check fertility, and selecting heifers at weaning based on traits like birth date, weaning weight, dam fertility, and disposition.
Dairy Management
This document provides information on key aspects of dairy cow management. It discusses the lactation cycle and factors that influence calving interval such as heat detection and pregnancy rates. It also describes feeding methods for dairy cows including grazing, silage, and concentrates. The optimal systems balance efficient grass utilization with flexible rationing of cows according to yield and stage of lactation.
Dry cow and heifer management
Dry cow and heifer management is important for reducing calving problems and optimizing productivity. A farmer should select sires known for easy calving, especially for heifers, to avoid difficulties. Heifers are more vulnerable as their birth canals are stretching for the first time. Underfeeding dry cows and heifers does not result in smaller calves but impacts the health and productivity of the mother after calving. Proper feeding, management, and attention in the period before and after calving is crucial for health and performance.
Animals and people
This document discusses the benefits humans obtain from animals, the types of animal farming, and some examples of livestock farming. Humans receive clothing, food, transportation, and companionship from animals. Animal farming can be extensive or intensive. Common livestock include cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, and poultry. Sheep farming involves shepherds protecting sheep from wild animals with dogs, while poultry farming uses incubators to hatch chicks from fertilized eggs.

Exploitation of Holy Cow in Dairy Industry
This document summarizes the cruelty faced by cows and buffaloes in the Indian dairy industry. It describes how cows are repeatedly impregnated to maximize milk production and how their calves are separated from them, causing emotional distress. Cows are confined in small spaces and treated more like milk machines than living beings. They are often given hormones illegally to increase milk yields, harming their health. Male calves face particular cruelty - they may be tied unable to move and left to starve or strangle to death. The dairy industry prioritizes profits over animal welfare.
Farm Animals and Factory Farming
This document provides an overview of farm animals in the United States. It discusses that most farm animals are raised to be killed for meat, though some are kept for other purposes like eggs or wool. It notes that in 2007 there were more farm animals in the US than humans globally. The document then discusses the treatment of various farm animals, including that chickens, pigs, and dairy cows are often intensively confined and productionized. It also outlines some of the health and welfare issues for these animals and notes the minimal regulation and enforcement of humane treatment standards.
Veganism - for the animals, the planet and your health!
Factory farming involves the slaughter of billions of animals annually to meet global demand for meat. Over 90% of animals are raised in inhumane conditions in factory farms. While humans have no innate need or instinct to eat meat, cultural norms teach people that eating animals is acceptable. A vegan diet avoids harming animals by excluding all animal products and has been shown to prevent disease and be healthy for all stages of life. Transitioning to a plant-based diet could also help mitigate the environmental damage caused by industrial animal agriculture.

- 3. Grass Fed Beef No stress 3x the Vitamin E 60% higher Omega 3 content to balance with Omega 6 Leaner and 1.5 times more protein
- 4. Conventional Chicken One square foot to turn around Lighting 24/7 forced laying GMO corn and soy feed, cattle blood and waste
- 5. Pastured Chicken • No Stress • Fresh air and freedom to roam • Natural light only • Bugs, worms, grass to eat! • What goes into the chicken determines what’s in the meat and eggs!
- 6. Penned tightly, stress runs high making these animals dangerous. Teeth and tails are clipped to avoid human and animal attack. Corn and soy diets are the sole nutrition. Lack of exercise makes these animals the “other white meat”.
- 7. After birth the mama is moved to a farrowing pen where she is forced to remain on her side. Her feces and urine fall through the grate. After 3 wks she is artificially inseminated again. If it is to be her last litter the piglets nurse until she has seizures and dies. Mama’s are tightly penned. They cannot turn around. She will be pregnant for 4 months in this cage. She is fed a corn and soy diet.
- 8. Digging, Fertilizing, No Stress
- 9. Why do we continue to accept these practices? Why do we continue to pay for this food? Why are we not concerned enough to act?
