Israel has over 1,000 dairy farms that produce approximately 1.15 million tons of cow's milk annually worth $1.5 billion. The two main types of dairy farms are kibbutzim cooperatives with around 300 cows each and moshav private family farms with about 60 cows each. Israel's national dairy herd consists of 115,000 Israeli Holstein cows that have been bred to adapt well to the country's climate. Dairy production records incorporate data from milk testing, artificial insemination, and veterinary services programs. In 2005, the average Israeli dairy cow produced over 11,000 kg of milk per year containing 349 kg of protein and 398 kg of fat.

A presentation on milk
This document discusses the composition of milk and factors that affect its composition. It begins by defining milk as a white liquid produced by mammary glands of mammals that provides nutrition for infant mammals. The document then discusses the components of milk including water, fat, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. It also discusses factors like breed, stage of lactation, disease, season, age and feeding practices that can impact the composition of milk. The document provides details on the percentages of fat, protein and other components in milk from different cow breeds and how these are affected by somatic cell counts, lactation stage and other factors.
Does unpasteurized milk come from unpasturized cows?
Pasteurization heats milk to 72°C to kill pathogens like salmonella and E. coli while preserving nutrients. Freestall cows experience mastitis 1.8 times more than pasture-kept cows, and confinement yields 11% higher milk production. Pasture-kept cows have lower teat bacteria and somatic cell counts. Milk is white due to casein protein, and pasture feeding can produce off-colors or flavors from plant ingestion. Outside cows have lower body condition scores than indoor cows due to higher pasture energy needs, and indoor cows lie down for 12.3 hours daily.
Dairy farming
Dairy farming is a class of agriculture for long-term production of milk, which is processed (either on the farm or at a dairy plant, either of which may be called a dairy) for eventual sale of a dairy product
Usually a dairy is a business enterprise established for the harvesting or processing (or both) of animal milk – mostly from cows or goats, but also from buffaloes, sheep, horses or camels– for human consumption. A dairy is typically located on a dedicated dairy farm or in a section of a multi-purpose farm (mixed farm) that is concerned with the harvesting of milk
Factors Affecting Composition of Milk
This document discusses factors that affect the composition of milk, including:
- Animal factors such as genetics, species, breed, individual cow, lactation period, age, disease, and completeness of milking.
- Environmental factors like season, weather, exercise, and excitement.
- Miscellaneous factors including feeding regime.
The composition of milk varies due to these factors and can be modified through genetic selection, feeding, and managing animal health and stress levels.
Factors affecting milk production
This document discusses factors that affect milk production and quality in cows. It identifies physiological factors like breed, age, and pregnancy status that influence milk yield but are not easily controlled by dairy farmers. Environmental factors like nutrition, management practices, climate, and disease that farmers can potentially influence are also examined. The document provides details on how each of these factors impacts milk quantity and composition. It aims to help dairy farmers understand factors within and beyond their control so they can maximize milk production through strategic management.
Milk is Health?
This document discusses the health benefits and potential risks of drinking cow's milk. It begins by defining health and providing a brief history of cattle domestication and dairy practices. It then discusses the nutritional composition differences between human and cow's milk. Several potential health risks of cow's milk are presented, including allergies, diabetes, various cancers, and neurological conditions like autism. The document also discusses genetic differences in casein proteins between human, Indian cattle breeds, and exotic cattle breeds commonly used in dairy farming. It concludes by calling for further research on safe milk consumption levels and improving cattle breeding programs in India.
Dairy Cattle Introduction
The document provides a history of dairy production from the early 1600s when the first cow arrived in Jamestown through modern developments like plastic milk containers in the 1960s. It then discusses dairy cattle purpose, what cows eat, their four-compartment stomach, and the steps of milk production from reproduction through the milking process. Finally, it covers dairy products, milk processing procedures like pasteurization, grading of milk, and modern milking technologies.

Agrostudies final research presentation
1) The document presents research on the relationship between milk production and age in Holstein-Friesian dairy cows.
2) Data was collected from 40 randomly selected cows at Givat Hayyim Dairy farm over 30 days, measuring milk production and age.
3) The results show that milk production increases with age up to around 4-5 years of age, after which production declines, indicating a polynomial relationship between milk production and age.
Factors affecting liquid milk consumption (2)
- The document discusses factors affecting liquid milk consumption in Sri Lanka. It notes that powdered milk consumption is higher in Sri Lanka than fresh milk consumption compared to other countries.
- The objectives are to analyze factors influencing liquid milk consumption and make suggestions to increase fresh milk drinking. Previous research found that income, availability, health concerns, and refrigeration access impact milk type choice.
- The proposed methodology is a survey of 60 students to understand influences on their milk consumption using primary and secondary data collection. Analysis will use statistical tools to identify relationships between variables. Suggestions aim to promote locally produced fresh milk.
Calve survival through transfer of immunity
Transfer of immunity refers to the transfer of antibodies from a cow to its calf through colostrum. For successful transfer, calves must consume sufficient colostrum and absorb the antibodies into their bloodstream shortly after birth. Failure to do so increases disease risk and mortality in calves up to 6 months of age. Proper nutrition is also important for calf health, development, and future productivity. Calves need both colostrum and clean, fresh water from birth.
Cattle nutrition
The document discusses cattle nutrition through 5 phases of a lactation cycle. Phase 1 focuses on high milk production with increased grains, proteins, and fats. Phase 2 has highest dry matter intake with lower proteins. Phase 3 restores body reserves. Phase 4 regains body weight. Phase 5 increases grains before calving. The document also covers beef cattle, grazing systems, nutritional disorders, and mineral/vitamin requirements.
9. us cattel production current approaches to brd in us feedlots
The document discusses cattle production and bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in the US feedlot system. It notes that over 32 million beef cows and 5.6 million replacement heifers are raised on over 766,000 operations. Once weaned, calves are transported to feedlots in groups of around 100 head. There are around 1,800 large feedlots with over 1,000 head capacity that market over 90% of cattle. BRD is a major risk in feedlots, and treatment involves either mass metaphylactic treatment of high-risk calves upon arrival or selective treatment of sick calves identified by pen riders.
Terminology used in livestock production
This document defines common terminology used in livestock production, including:
- Breed refers to a group of animals related by descent that share similar characteristics.
- Species is a group of individuals that can interbreed but are distinct from other groups.
- Terms like sire, dam, calf, heifer, cow, and bull refer to the male and female parents and offspring at different ages or conditions.
- Other terms describe processes like gestation, parturition, lactation, and the intervals between calving and reproductive cycles.
- Genetic terms explain concepts like genotype, phenotype, alleles, dominance, and heritability which influence animal traits.
- Additional terms identify animal groupings, products,
Pig production
Pig production is one of the oldest domesticated animals found around the world. Pigs are a major source of meat, comprising 38% of world meat production. Pigs have advantages such as efficient conversion of feed to food, high growth rates, tolerance to various feeds and environments, and ability to improve soil fertility through manure. Proper pig raising requires adequate food, water, shelter, health care and space.
A guide to dairy herd management (australia)
This document provides an overview of dairy herd management principles and practices. It discusses the importance of nutrition, cow comfort, and reproduction to dairy cow health and productivity. Facilities, expertise, and animal care are identified as fundamental factors that determine herd health. The dairy cow's life cycle is also summarized, outlining key stages from birth through calving and identifying management practices at each stage like colostrum feeding and nutritional management that are important for health and productivity.
Health Factors In Colostrum
This document discusses the health factors present in colostrum. Colostrum is the first breast milk produced after giving birth, and it lasts for 2-4 days. It is very important as it lays the foundation for the newborn's immune system and provides passive immunity, nutrients for growth, and protective factors. Colostrum is rich in antibodies, growth factors, vitamins, minerals, and other immune factors that protect against infection and support tissue development in newborns. Bovine colostrum also contains these beneficial components and can be used as it is more readily available in larger quantities than human colostrum.
Principles of Dairy Cow farm management
Three key factors that determine dairy herd health and productivity are nutrition, cow comfort, and reproduction. Cows must be well-fed, in a comfortable environment, and bred in a timely manner to achieve their production potential. Facilities should provide adequate shade, bedding, and access to fresh water and feed. Good hygiene and biosecurity help prevent disease transmission. The dairy cow's life cycle follows a predictable pattern from birth through lactation, breeding, calving, and culling or drying off. Close management during transition periods around calving impacts health, fertility and longevity.

Importance of milk
This document summarizes the nutritional benefits of milk, particularly buffalo milk. It discusses how milk is an important source of nutrients worldwide. Buffalo milk specifically is highlighted as it is high in proteins, calcium, vitamins, and minerals that are important for bone, heart, and overall health. While milk can be beneficial, it also contains saturated fat, so the document recommends consuming milk in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Farm animals reproduction
Cows produce milk and usually give birth to one calf at a time. Sheep are also mammals that produce milk, with lambs drinking from their mother; sheep can give birth to up to three lambs. Pigs are mammals that produce milk and can have litters of up to 12 piglets. Chickens are birds whose chicks develop inside eggs and chickens can incubate up to 12 chicks at a time while laying over 300 eggs per year.
Nur670 capstone diabetes pp
Breastfeeding protects infants from developing diabetes by providing beta cell protection and requiring less insulin production compared to formula-feeding. Formula-fed infants must secrete more insulin to achieve normal glucose levels, which can exhaust pancreatic islet cells over time and increase risk of diabetes. Early exposure to cow's milk proteins in formula can also trigger an immune response that may lead to future diabetes due to immune system memory.
Dairy farming
Dairy farming involves the long-term production of milk from dairy cows, goats, sheep and camels for processing and sale. It originated in Europe where climate supported natural pasture. Dairy farms require a large labor force and huge capital investments to care for cattle using machines for milking, feeding and cleaning, though some tasks are still done by hand.

The document summarizes the Israeli dairy farming industry. It notes that 90% of cows are on DHI programs to track production. The average Israeli dairy herd has 120,000 cows producing over 11,000 kg of milk per cow annually. Milk production is regulated through a quota system. The main farm types are kibbutzim (collective farms owning 63% of cows) and moshavim (individual farms owning 37% of cows). Several national organizations provide services like artificial insemination, veterinary care, extension, and research to support dairy farmers. Intensive cooling systems are widely used in the summer to mitigate heat stress and maintain milk production and fertility.

The Canadian dairy industry has seen declines in the number of dairy farms and lactating cows over the past decade, though milk production per cow has increased. The average Canadian dairy farm now has 66-72 cows compared to over 100 cows on average in the US. While tie-stall barns were traditionally most common, there has been a shift toward free-stall barns for herds over 50 cows to improve cow welfare and reduce labor. Free-stall barns allow freedom of movement but require adequate space and resources to prevent injuries or competition among cows.

This study examined the effects of parity and stage of lactation on milk yield in Friesian x Bunaji cows. Blood samples were taken from 15 cows to analyze various serum biomarkers. The cows were classified by parity (1st or 2nd), stage of lactation (early or mid), and physiological status (lactating or dry).
The results showed that milk yield was significantly higher in 2nd parity cows than 1st parity cows. Stage of lactation did not significantly affect milk yield. Several serum biomarkers differed significantly between lactating and dry cows. A significant positive correlation was found between serum cholesterol and milk yield, while negative correlations were observed for other biomarkers.

The document also describes major cattle and buffalo breeds found in India and their characteristics.
Dairy farm presentation
This document provides an overview of dairy farming in the UK. It discusses that British dairy farmers produce 11 billion litres of milk per year from their herds of approximately 113 cows each. It also summarizes that dairy farmers prioritize cow health and welfare, use various housing and milking systems, and are taking steps to enhance the environment such as using manure for fertilizer and leaving areas for wildlife.
Small ruminant production
This document summarizes a course on small ruminant management taught by Prof. E.E. Ndemanisho at Sokoine University of Agriculture in Morogoro, Tanzania. The key points are:
1) The course covers the management of small ruminants like goats and sheep. These animals are well-suited for grazing in arid areas and an important source of meat, milk, and other products worldwide.
2) While goats and sheep are closely related, they differ in aspects like production potential and behavior. The document will treat them separately to avoid confusion.
3) Small ruminants represent an underutilized resource in developing countries. Increased research and

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Israel
- 1. Israel's agricultural sector is characterized by an intensive production system, high level of development is due to the close cooperation and interaction between scientists, extension advisers, farmers and agriculture-related industries Israel has a total annual output of approximately 1,150 tons of cow’s milk. The dairy enterprises process raw milk into more than 1,000 different dairy products, with an annual value of approximately US$ 1.5 billion. Milk is produced on more than 1,000 farms, spread countrywide. There are two main kinds of dairies: 1. Kibbutzim (cooperative societies – 185 large scale farms averaging 300 cows/herd) and In 2005 Kibbutz farms (3 milking times a day) averaged 11,540 kg of milk per cow, 344 kg of protein (3.15%) and 397 kg of fat (3.60%). 2. Mosheim (private, family farms - 850 small units averaging 60 cows / herd). In 2005 Moshav farms (mostly, 2 milking a day) averaged 10,430 kg of milk per cow, 309 kg of protein (3.13%) and 353 kg of fat (3.57%). The National Dairy Herd is comprised of 1,15,000 head of the Israeli-Holstein breed, Developed (successful adaptation to the harsh conditions of the Israeli climate) by the Israeli Genetic Improvement System. The Israeli Herdbook (DHI) receives and processes information from the official Milk Production Control System, which includes 90% of the dairy cattle in the country. In addition to production figures, the Israeli Herdbook incorporates information from the Breeding system and "Sion", an A.I company, as well as from the "Hachaklait", a society for veterinary services. In 2005 the average annual milk production per cow was 11,118 kg of milk, 349 kg of protein and 398 kg of fat.
