Our first installation of MisterCows become a success. It has been installed on a Dairy Farm, Victoria, Australia. Farmer comments has been: it really cools the yard and keeps flies away. Please see the details and come back with questions and hopefully - orders. Your's, Ivan Perov.
Our last fig harvest on Sunshine Acre as I moved Jan 2012 to live with Marcel in Corpus Christi. We still own the acre, but the renter rightfully gets to enjoy the harvests of figs, pomegranates, blackberries, jujubes, and grapes.
It was key for this project that the insulated panel system delivered the highest possible functionality and performance. Fire safety and energy efficiency were at the heart of the design brief for this cold-store building.

As work with the broiler has shown, brooding is a vital period for good overall results. Achieving good seven-day live weight will improve performance parameters such as final live weight and feed conversion as well as maintain a low overall mortality.To get the full potential out of broiler chickens it is important that the target weight at seven days
of age should be reached. As work with the Cobb 500 broiler has shown, brooding is a vital period for good overall results.
Achieving good seven-day live weight will improve performance parameters such as final live weight and feed conversion as well as maintain a low overall mortality.Several different parameters can be used to determine the quality of the chick at an early age such as live weight, growth, crop fill, body temperature, livability and mortality. Comparable parameter needs to be
objective, easy to perform, highly repeatable and inexpensive. Measuring live weight at day seven is a well-established and accepted way of assessing pre-placement management, brooding and chick quality.
The seven-day weight has significant impact on most important parameters such as performance, carcass and body composition. There is generally a peak in mortality at day three to four, most likely due to the absorption of the yolk sac in the intestine of chicks; if feed and water intake is not optimum, nonstarter/ cull chicks will add to the mortality that occurs a few days later.

Quick Steps to Help Manage Heat Stress in your Dairy CowsJaylor
Cows do best when the air temperature is between 5.0 C and 21.0 C. When it gets hotter than that, cows’ efforts to maintain normal body temperature become costly. Learn how to kelp keep your dairy cows cool and productive.
Presentation
The impacts of high encompassing temperatures on creation creatures, when remembered to be restricted to tropical regions, has reached out into northern scopes in light of the rising worldwide temperature. We will likewise momentarily talk about current intensity reduction procedures, as well as the manageability of future intensity stress for the executives. Heat pressure adversely affects the wellbeing and organic working of dairy cows through discouraged milk creation and decreased regenerative execution. Heat pressure can likewise think twice about the emotional condition of dairy cows by actuating sensations of appetite and thirst, and we have featured the requirement for research endeavours to inspect the expected connection between heat pressure, disappointment, hostility, and agony. Little work has analyzed what intensity stress means for a creature's normal adapting ways of behaving, as well as how the creature's transformative variations for thermoregulation are overseen in current dairy frameworks. More examination is expected to recognize further developed far-reaching cow-side estimations that can show constant reactions to raised encompassing temperatures and that could be integrated into heat reduction the executive's choices.
Impacts of intensity stress
There is no question that dairy cows become heat-pushed at a point all through the pre-summer quite a while in the Mid-Atlantic region. The temperature tenacity document (THI) is a mechanical assembly used to review the best for heat pressure in creatures. The THI edge for high useful dairy cows is 68; when values are more unmistakable than 68, lactating cows are in peril for heat pressure. With relative moisture levels heading off to someplace in the scope of 50 and 80% and typical month to month highs of 87°F, 85°F, and 78°F during the extended lengths of July, August, and September, separately, most cows in Maryland really experience a couple of days where the THI is north of 68 during these months.
Signs of force pressure in dairy cows consolidate heaving, pointless drooling/foaming from the mouth, and open-mouth unwinding. Heat pressure furthermore activates lead changes like extended standing time, grouping, and reduced feed utilization, which clearly influence creation.
How to recognize that creature is in heat pressure?
Breath and internal heat level,Breath rates and inside heat level are both extraordinary approaches to assessing how well cows are managing their power creation and disasters in warm environment. Individual cow responses will move and conditions shift over the direction of the day. You can notice and record breath rates or measure inner intensity levels at different times to assess how well your cows are adjusting to the air conditions you have and your cooling practices. You furthermore can screen ordinary milk creation, yet diminishes in milk creation are customarily delayed somewhere around two days after cows
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

1. MISTER COWS
Your cows are coooooool
Mister Cows™ contact: Adelaide, South Australia.
Phone: +61 498049808. Ivan Perov, director.
2. MISTER COWS – WHY?
DAIRY cows – perform 10% less in milk production
due to a heat stress as they stand for 3 hours in a
waiting area*
BUT, I believe that even when the cow will yield 1
litre more of milk per milking at every hot day* in
addition to the normal yield it makes a significant
difference.
Not much? Let’s see HOW MUCH it is in cash flow
(are we really after the cash flow?)
* In Australia definition for extreme HOT DAY is when
the Temperature goes above +30°C

3. MISTER COWS – WHY?
Although I would agree that assumption is a mother of failure, lets assume*:
30 days per average year with extreme hot days above +30C
1 litre of milk (farm gate price) – 0.48 cents AUS
Average commercial dairy herd is 260 cows
Cash benefit for installing “Mister Cows” solution for an average farm
is:
$0.48 @ 30 days @ 260 cows = $3774 AUS
Question: Would the +25°~27°C be also regarded as extreme
temperature for dairy cows?

4. MISTER COWS – your $3774 AU cash
benefit solution In addition to YOUR happy
cows, misting kit will include:
Misting pump – 1 pcs
Misting nozzles – 70 pcs
Fittings and joints – 70 pcs
Elbows
100 meters PE pipe (9.2

Pipe cutting tool – 1 pcs
Complete installation
5. MISTER COWS – your cows cash
benefit solution
$3774 AUS (Your farm Cash Benefit).
$2589 (the price for Mister Cows solution) divided by 260 cows divided
by 0.48 c/aus (farm gate price) = 20 days
This is the number of days the system
will pay back.
Question: Can we do an economic estimation of
general cow improvement due to a comfortable stay in
a waiting area for 3 hours* (see next slide) that we can
not directly evaluate?
