Abstract:
The information encoded in cattle vocalisations remains underexplored. The objective of this thesis is to provide fundamental knowledge on the vocal behaviour of Holstein-Friesian cows exhibited during a variety of free-ranging and commercial dairy farming contexts. This thesis commenced with a literature review of previous cattle bioacoustics studies (Chapter 2) and highlighted the benefits of adopting the human-derived source-filter theory and arousal-valence dimensional framework for deciphering vocal information content. The experiment provided as Chapter 3 revealed that heifers have indiv

Full text
Abstract:
Increased rates of involuntary culling as a consequence of poorer health and fertility had led to the conclusion that dairy cows appear to be less “robust” or adaptable than in the past. A way to address these concerns in breeding programs could be to select for health and welfare by including appropriate traits in a broader breeding index. However, it is important to consider any consequences that such breeding goals may have on dairy cow temperament and welfare. There were two phases to this study. The main objective of phase I was to develop tests for measuring responsiveness to humans and

Abstract:
The objectives of this research were to compare lying time, milk yield, rumination time, hock score, stall cleanliness, and stall temperature for 97 cows (Holsteins (n = 71), Jerseys (n = 10), and crossbreds (n = 16)) housed on Dual Chamber Cow Waterbeds™ (DCCW, Advanced Comfort Technology, Reedsburg, WI) or conventional rubber mattresses (MAT). This study was conducted at the University of Kentucky Coldstream Research Dairy Farm from January 18, 2012 to May 3, 2013. Lying times were longer (P < 0.01) for cows housed on the DCCW (10:32 ± 0:13) compared to cows housed on the MAT (9:47 ± 0:15).

Full text
Abstract:
When automatic milking systems (AMS) were introduced to the dairy industry, the well-being of cows was investigated to ensure it was comparable to conventional milking systems (CMS). Chapter 2 found the well-being of cows was similar between AMS and CMS, and is seemingly more dependent on good management than on milking system type. The review also highlights unknown differences in the human-animal relationship between milking system types. Observation of five commercial dairy farms transitioning from CMS to AMS (Chapter 3) identified that after transitioning, farm staff interacted less with c

Il benessere degli animali è uno dei temi più discussi temi delle scienze animali. Molti ricercatori hanno provato a darne una definizione e a sviluppare strumenti utili alla sua valutazione negli allevamenti di vacche da latte. Nel presente lavoro viene discussa la possibilità di valutare il benessere degli animali, attraverso sistemi di innovazione da diversi punti di vista: scientifico, economico e zootecnico.
