Feeding Behavior, Feed Space, and Bunk Design and Management for Adult Dairy Cattle - 25/01/19
Résumé |
The feeding behavior of dairy cows, including how, when, and what cows eat of the feed provided to them, has a significant impact on cow health and productivity. The design and management of the feeding area impact the feeding behavior of dairy cows. To ensure good eating patterns, dairy cows need sufficient space to eat simultaneously, and a bunk design that minimizes competition, ensures good feed access, and minimizes risk of injury. Continuous feed access throughout the day, through adequate feeding levels, and frequent feed delivery and push-ups, also contribute to ensuring good eating behavior.
