Abstract A 3‐year experiment on milk production systems was set up in 1989 to investigate the effect of calving date and stocking rate performance spring‐calving dairy cows. An early‐calving herd (System A) with a mean 23 January stocked at 2·9 cows per hectare compared two later herds (Systems B C) 15 March. System had similar (2·9 ha −1 ), while C 2·6 . The average lactation yields (kg) over three years were as follows: 5872, 5444 5584 (milk)210, 204 215 (fat), 187, 184 189 (protein) 261,...
In Brief Objective: The goals of this study were to describe the clinical and anatomic features infants undergoing Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE) for biliary atresia (BA) examine associations between these parameters outcomes. Methods: Infants enrolled in prospective Childhood Liver Disease Research Education Network, who underwent KPE studied. Patients a blinded, interventional trial excluded from survival analysis. Primary endpoints successful surgical drainage (total bilirubin less than 2...
European Union (EU) trade liberalisation policies will continue to push EU milk price downwards and necessitate increased efficiency scale at farm processing level maintain profitability. In Ireland pasture‐based dairying, based on the efficient conversion of grazed grass into can be competitive within EU. Continued technical innovation increasing animal performance from grass, herd genetic potential developing labour lower fixed cost systems essential. At level, in commodity processing,...
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects two pasture feeding systems-perennial ryegrass (GRS) and perennial white clover (CLV)-and an indoor total mixed ration (TMR) system on (a) rumen microbiome; (b) fluid milk metabolome; (c) assess potential distinguish from different systems by their respective metabolomes. Rumen collected nine cannulated cows under in early, mid late lactation, raw samples were ten non-cannulated mid-lactation each systems. microbiota present liquid solid...
This study explores drivers and resulting changes in the structure technical efficiency of Irish dairy farms from 2005 to 2018 (covering pre‐ post‐milk quotas) during which milk production increased by 54%. Over this period, farm changed dramatically (fourfold increase farmers milking >100 cows) improved profitability reduced greenhouse gas emission intensity produced. The impact adoption key technologies at level contribution strategic direction nationally (the Government's Food Harvest...
