Looking for some information regarding the outlook of dairy herd management? This article takes a deep dive into some key industry research and trends from 2019:

“Dairy herd management is a process that manages and regulates the health & productivity of dairy animals and is viewed as a cost saving process as it implements techniques of smart farming. Dairy herd management systems offer numerous benefits such as enabling dairy farm managers to keep count of animals, inspect & respond to livestock behaviour, record their conception rate, calf age, births, and promptly detect health related issues faced by the cattle.

These management programs also include vaccination programs for prevention from diseases, parasite control measures and some blood tests too for the better management of health of the animals. Moreover, this management system is developed to increase overall efficiency and production in dairy herd farming with reduced cost and lesser time. Whereas, earlier dairy herd farming practices needed more time, labour, and high cost. […]”

Fatty Acids Yield Benefits in Early Lactation Dairy

“New research from Michigan State University has demonstrated significant improvements in cow productivity with specific fatty acid supplementation through early lactation.

The concept of feeding fat in dairy rations is nothing new — the energy-dense nutrient is hugely beneficial to meeting increased nutritional requirements as cows simultaneously produce milk while maintaining body condition ahead of breeding.

However, developing science continues to improve knowledge on the roles of different fatty acids, the building blocks of fat, on animal performance.”

Enhanced Oregon CAFO Inspections Clear Key Committee | Capital Press

In this article, Mateusz Perkowski discusses how the Oregon Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources voted unanimously Thursday to approve Senate Bill 1513. This bill would require a preliminary and final inspection of large CAFOs before they begin operating.

“A bill backed by Oregon’s dairy industry that would heighten inspection requirements for building large “confined animal feeding operations” has passed a key legislative committee.

At a Feb. 13 hearing, the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources voted unanimously to approve Senate Bill 1513, which would require a preliminary and final inspection of large CAFOs before they begin operating.

Oregon’s farm and water regulators would also have to determine that large CAFOs — those with more than 2,500 mature dairy cows — have legal and reliable water supplies before animals are brought to the facilities.

The bill will now be considered by the Senate Rules Committee, which isn’t subject to legislative deadlines affecting other committees. […]”

Dairy Industry Works to Reduce Carbon Footprint, Cut Costs | Lancaster Farming

In this article,

“New York’s dairy industry has made great strides in reducing its carbon footprint and related environmental impacts, with an added bonus of cutting operational costs.

“Our science is getting better, our ability to formulate diets is getting better,” said Mike Van Amburgh, Cornell University professor of animal science. “The ability to measure nutrient flux on the whole farm system has improved. As we advance our understanding of nutrient use — nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium — we have really large reductions of those things entering the environment.”

“In every category we’re down 15-31%,” he said. “That’s amazing progress. There’s no state in the union that’s made that kind of progress.” […]”

India offers US dairy, chicken access in bid for elusive trade deal with Trump | International Business Times

“India has offered to partially open up its poultry and dairy markets in a bid for a limited trade deal during US President Donald Trump’s first official visit to the country this month, people familiar with the protracted talks say.

India, the world’s largest milk-producing nation, has traditionally restricted dairy imports to protect the livelihoods of 80 million rural households involved in the industry.

But Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to pull all the stops for the US president’s Feb. 24-25 visit, aimed at rebuilding bonds between the world’s largest democracies.

In 2019, Trump suspended India’s special trade designation that dated back to 1970s, after Modi put price caps on medical devices, such as cardiac stents and knee implants, and introduced new data localization requirements and e-commerce restrictions. […]”

Poor Marketing Turns Consumers Off to Milk | Lancaster Farming

In this article,

“In one of her first acts as CEO of PepsiCo, Indra Nooyi crisscrossed the United States for weeks visiting supermarkets, convenience stores and other outlets that sold its products so she could get a firsthand look at how the goods are handled, marketed and sold.

She inspected product displays to evaluate their effectiveness in attracting customers and, while she was there, checked out what the competition looked like. Besides its well-known beverages, PepsiCo also owns snack foods like Fritos and Doritos and the brands Tropicana, Quaker Oats and Gatorade.

During her visits, Nooyi made sure store managers were keeping plenty of inventory on the shelves. She even assessed the company’s delivery trucks and their drivers, making sure the vehicles were clean and running well and those operating them were wearing the correct PepsiCo-assigned uniforms — fresh and crisp.
