The objective of this study was to determine physiological and mechanical factors effecting on the pregnancy rates following artificial insemination in dairy cattle. Estrus for artificial insemination of cows was checked whether the outflow of mucus from the elements was out flow or not. There were no significant difference of gestation rates with mucus release (31.76%) and without mucus release (24.03%). The pregnancy rates were 39.02% in 10~20mm of follicle size group and 27.08% (p<0.05) in 20~30mm diameter of the follicles. There were not different pregnancy rates between twice inseminated dairy cattle and more than 3 times inseminated cattle. The pregnancy rate was 28.57% under automatic milking system. In contrast, under artificial milking system pregnancy rate was 56.85%. Two systems significantly (p<0.05) were different. These results suggest that pregnancy rates were not effected by physiological system, but mechanical condition.

An experiment was conducted at Pabna milkshed area under Bathan condition during November, 1992 to February 1993 with 16 milking cows fed legume forage with straw supplementation (treated group) and 8 milking cows fed legume forage only (control group). From the study, the results revealed that supplementation of straw with leguminous diet increases the total dry matter intake (DMI) of 11.83 kg/d/cow for the treated group and 11.53 kg/d/cow for the control group. The average daily legume forage intake was $37.39{\pm}8.67kg/d/cow$ and $49.62{\pm}10.57kg/d/cow$ for the treated and control group respectively and the difference was significant (p < 0.05). The results also exhibited that due to the supplementation of straw, the legume forage intake reduced by 12 kg/d/cow. The forage dry matter intake (DMI) kg/d/cow for the treated and control groups were $6.18{\pm}1.44kg$ and $8.38{\pm}1.95kg$ respectively. The milk production was $8.64{\pm}1.15litre/day$ for the treated group which was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than the control group ($7.74{\pm}1.24litre/day$). The average initial body weight of the supplemented and control groups were $338.06{\pm}39.32kg$ and $329.87{\pm}48.03kg$ respectively. Whereas, the final body weight of supplemented group was $344.33{\pm}35.90kg$ and control group was $330.35{\pm}37.28kg$. It may be concluded that straw supplementation with legumes diet could save legume forage for further use as well as increase milk production.

In this paper the development of an automatic body temperature measuring system which can be attached to the milking machine has been studied. Since the disease is highly related to the body temperature of the cattle, early detection of the abnormal temperature would prevent the severe problems which may occur in dairy farms. The electronic component AD590 is used as a temperature sensor for the system. The device is highly robust against the noise since the output signal is the current. So it can be applied to the long distance sensing. The resolution of the signal is $0.1{\circ}C$ and the current is 10 mV. Also the A/D converter is designed for interfacing the sensor with a computer. A temperature measuring experiment using the developed system has been done for measuring the temperature of human beings and the system was proven to be useful for measuring the body temperature of the dairy cattle properly.

From January to December 1993, 3,385 bulk milk samples were collected from 293 herds in Inchon area. Standard plate counts(SPC) and somatic cell counts(SCC) were performed by the method of milk collection, the situation of raising management and monthly. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1, Annual average SPC and SCC were respectively 638,000 cfu /mm and 647,000 cells /mm. SPC showed an abrupt decrease from January-1,088,000 cfu /mm to December-279,000 cfu /mm, but SCC showed a slow change from January-1,017,000 cells /mm to December -673,000 cells /mm 2. Variation on milk quality(annual average SPC) was shown a wide difference between everyday collection-575,000 cfu /mm and every other day collection-1,243,000 cfu /mm ac-cording to frequency of milk collection from dairy farms. However, there was a little difference In SCC. 3. In the raising scale, average SPC were the lowest in 16~25mi1king cows, and average SCC were the lowest in above 25milking cows. 4. According to types of milking machine, average SPC and SCC of dairy farms that are equipped with pipeline system were respectively 361,000 cfu /mm and 591,000 cells /mm. Those of dairy farms with bucket system were 549,000 cfu /me and 559,000 cells /mm. 5.

Objective: We determined the impact of maintaining pasture-based dairy cows and calves together over 100 days on cow milk production, cow and calf behavior, and calf liveweight and carcass quality. Methods: Six Holstein-Friesian cows and their male calves were monitored for 106±8.6 days. Cows were temporarily separated twice a day for milking with calves remaining in the paddock. Cow and calf behaviors were recorded via scan sampling at 6 different timepoints, for the first 7 days and twice a week thereafter. Calves were weighed weekly and immediately processed for meat quality and rumen development analysis at 106±8.6 days. Daily cow milk yields were collected from enrollment until 109±8.6 days (3 days post-weaning). Results: The average daily gain of calves was 1.4±0.73 kg/d, with an average carcass dressing percentage of 59%. Calves had the greatest frequency of observed close proximity to cow and suckling in the first two weeks and decreased with experiment duration. During separation for milking, cow vocalizations and attempts to return to their calf decreased over time. Reticulorumen weight was on target for calf age, but as a proportion of total stomach weight was lower than industry averages of calves the same age due to the larger abomasum. Cows produced an average of 12±7.6 kg of milk yield per day over the 3-days before the calves were weaned and increased to mean of 31±8.3 kg/d the 3 days after weaning, indicating a consumption of close to 20 kg per calf per day. Conclusion: The impact of a pasture-based cow-calf rearing system on cow and calf behavior and the potential for high levels of calf liveweight gain when provided ad-libitum milk and feed were determined. Further research is required to determine the practicality of replicating such systems with large herds and impact on reared calves post-weaning.

본 시험은 국내에 도입된 자동착유시스템 설치농가에서 사육하고 있는 젖소들의 검정성적을 이용하여 자동착유시스템 설치 전과 후의 산유량과 유성분 및 체세포 수 변화를 알아보기 위하여 실시하였다. 분석에 이용된 자료는 자동착유시스템이 설치된 4개의 농가에서 자동착유시스템 설치 1년 전과 1년 후의 검정기록이 있는 147두를 대상으로 하였다. 산유량을 비교한 결과, 자동착유시스템 설치 1년 전의 기존착유시스템에서 산유량이 30.37 kg인 것에 비하여 자동착유시스템 설치 1년 후의 산유량은 34.27 kg으로 유의성 있게 높아진 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 착유회수가 AMS 설치 1년 전의 기존착유 2.0회에 비하여 자동착유시스템에서 2.62회로 증가한 것에 기인한 것으로 생각된다. 유지율 (%)은 자동착유시스템 설치 전 $3.7{\pm}0.5%$에 비하여 설치 후 $3.8{\pm}0.5%$으로 약간 높은 경향을 나타내었으나 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 유지방량 (kg)은 기존 착유시스템에서 보다 자동착유시스템으로 전환 후 유의적으로 높게 나타났는데, 이는 산유량 증가에 기인된 것이다. 유단백율 역시 자동착유시스템 설치 전 $3.2{\pm}0.2%$와 설치 후 $3.2{\pm}0.2%$로 차이가 없었다. 그러나 유단백량에 있어서는 유지방과 같이 산유량 증가로 인하여 기존 착유시스템에 비하여 자동착유시스템에서 유의적으로 높았다. 체세포 수는 자동착유시스템 설치 전 $169.4{\pm}188.5$천개/ml로 1등급 수준이었던 것에 비하여 설치 후 $314.4{\pm}279.9$천개/ml로 2등급 수준으로 유의성 있게 증가하였음을 알 수 있다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 보면, 자동착유시스템 설치에 따라 산유량은 증가하나 유질등급에 영향을 주는 체세포 수가 증가하는 것으로 나타나 자동착유시스템을 설치하려는 농가에서는 이에 대한 고려가 있어야 할 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 체세포 수가 증가한 것이 자동착유시스템 자체의 문제인지 아니면 자동착유시스템을 운영하는 관리자의 관리미숙으로 인한 것인지는 명확하지 않아 더 많은 연구가 필요하다고 하겠다.

국내 낙농업의 위기를 타개하기 위한 방편의 하나로 6차산업형 낙농이 대두되었다. 낙농업의 6차산업화란 우유 생산과 목장형 유가공, 제품 판매와 체험/관광 등을 목장에서 수행함으로써 부가가치를 창출 취득하는 것이며, 이에 따른 인력과 시간 등의 어려움을 해결하기 위해 AMS의 도입에 관한 관심도 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 6차산업형 낙농목장의 애로사항과 AMS 관련 사항을 조사함으로써 이에 대한 개선 방안과 정보를 제공하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 총 91개 6차산업화 목장에 대해 우편 및 방문 면담에 의한 조사를 통해 목장 현황, 6차산업과 관련된 농가들의 인식, 문제점, 요구사항 들과 AMS 도입 여부 및 관련 사항을 조사하였으며, 회수된 16개 설문지를 분석에 이용하였다. 연구 결과 6차산업화 목장의 규모와 형태는 다양하였으며, 발효유와 신선치즈를 주로 생산하였고, 소비자들이 방문하여 구매하는 형태가 가장 많았다. 6차산업형 목장에 대한 정부정책에 관해서는 부정적인 평가가 더 많았으며, 목장형 유가공을 통한 원유적체 해소에 관해서는 긍정적인 반응과 기대가 있었다. 조사 대상 농가들은 '과도한 규제', '판로확보 및 홍보', '자금 부족' 등의 어려움을 가장 크게 느끼고 있었으며, 이에 따라 대기업 수준의 규제보다는 목장형 유가공에 적합한 별도의 규제와 법, 제도를 갖추고 이에 따른 지원과 판로 개척 및 홍보에 대한 지원이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 조사대상 중 AMS를 도입한 농가는 18.75%였고, CMS 농가 중 향후 AMS의 도입을 긍정적으로 검토하고 있는 농가는 38.46%로 나타났다. 도입 이유로는 인력과 시간 문제 해결, 관람 및 홍보 효과, 후계 문제 등으로 답한 반면, 도입에 부정적인 이유로는 유성분 및 유질 문제와 비용, A/S 등의 문제로 답하였다. 본 연구결과를 종합하면, 빠른 속도로 국내 우유자급률이 하락하고 있는 현 상황에서 정부 당국에서 낙농산업의 활성화를 달성하기 위해서는 현재와 같은 과도한 규제를 완화하고, 구체적이고 실효적인 지원책을 통해서만이 낙농의 6차산업화를 효과적으로 유도할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 우군 내 유용한 정보 수집과 기술 향상, 그리고 인력과 시간문제의 해결을 위해 잠재력이 높은 낙농목장을 대상으로 AMS 도입을 위한 지원책도 마련할 가치가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Constituents of animal biofluids such as milk, blood and urine contain information specifically related to metabolic and health status of the ruminant animals. Some changes in composition of biofluids can be attributed to disease response of the animals. Mastitis is a major problem for the global dairy industry and causes substantial economic losses from decreasing milk production and reducing milk quality. The purpose of this study was to investigate potential of NIRS combined with multivariate analysis for cow's mastitis diagnosis based on NIR spectra of milk, blood and urine. A total of 112 bulk milk, urine and blood samples from 4 Holstein cows were analyzed. The milk samples were collected from morning milking. The urine samples were collected before morning milking and stored at -35$^{\circ}C$ until spectral analysis. The blood samples were collected before morning milking using a catheter inserted into the carotid vein. Heparin was added to blood samples to prevent coagulation. All milk samples were analyzed for somatic cell count (SCC). The SCC content in milk was used as indicator of mastitis and as quantitative parameter for respective urine and blood samples collected at same time. NIR spectra of blood and milk samples were obtained by InfraAlyzer 500 spectrophotometer, using a transflectance mode. NIR spectra of urine samples were obtained by NIR System 6500 spectrophotometer, using 1 mm sample thickness. All samples were divided into calibration set and test set. Class variable was assigned for each sample as follow: healthy (class 1) and mastitic (class 2), based on milk SCC content. SIMCA was implemented to create models of the respective classes based on NIR spectra of milk, blood or urine. For the calibration set of samples, SIMCA models (model for samples from healthy cows and model for samples from mastitic cows), correctly classified from 97.33 to 98.67% of milk samples, from 97.33 to 98.61% of urine samples and from 96.00 to 94.67% of blood samples. From samples in the test set, the percent of correctly classified samples varied from 70.27 to 89.19, depending mainly on spectral data pretreatment. The best results for all data sets were obtained when first derivative spectral data pretreatment was used. The incorrect classified samples were 5 from milk samples,5 and 4 from urine and blood samples, respectively. The analysis of changes in the loading of first PC factor for group of samples from healthy cows and group of samples from mastitic cows showed, that separation between classes was indirect and based on influence of mastitis on the milk, blood and urine components. Results from the present investigation showed that the changes that occur when a cow gets mastitis influence her milk, urine and blood spectra in a specific way. SIMCA allowed extraction of available spectral information from the milk, urine and blood spectra connected with mastitis. The obtained results could be used for development of a new method for mastitis detection.
