Ansc Exam 2: Dairy

TermDefinition
Mammary Glands - Cow: 4 Glands and 4 teats - Sheep and goat: 2 glands and 2 teats - Mare: 4 glands and 2 teats/channels - Sow: Up to 20 glands and 10-14 teats on 2 rows
Mammary Gland Function - Provides nutrition for offspring - Provides passive immunity to offspring
Colostrum - Normally needed withing the first few hours - has nutrients and antibodies (immunoglobins) - Most produced before parturition and stops at soon/ after parturition
Colostrum Composition Has higher amounts of: - Growth factors - Immune factors - Nutritional factors
Mammary Gland Structure: Alveoli - Secretory tissue of mammary gland - Made of millions of grapelike structures
Mammary Gland Structure: Gland Cistern Large collection area in udder
Mammary Gland Structure: Teat Cistern Collection area in teat
Mammary Gland Structure: Streak Canal Passageway for milk out of teat (1cm)
Alveolus Release of oxytocin at onset of milking stimulates the contraction of myoepithelial cells surrounding the alveoli
Secretory (epithelial) Cells Function - Absorbs nutrients from bloodstream - Make milk components (fat, lactose, protein) - Transport milk into lumen of alveoli
Mastitis Inflammation of the mammary gland Cause- Microorganisms invade udder, multiply, and produce toxins
Subclinical - No symptoms - Increased SCC - Bacteria - Milk Loss - Reduced quality - Compositional Changes
Clinical Visible symptoms - Flakes/clots - Abnormal milk - Swelling - Pain, heat, redness - Fever - Appetite loss - Depression, etc.
Peracute Most severe, could lead to death
Somatic Cell Count - <200,000 cell/mL=favorable - some research says too little SCC can cause mastitis as well - <50,000=pretty normal
SCC Legal - U.S = 750,000 cells/mL BTSCC (that's bad ya'll) - Canada = 500,000 cells/mL - EU = Limit: 400,000 cells/mL (export)
Contagious Mastitis Pathogens: Staphylococcus Aureus - Heifers may calf while having it - most common - Repro tracts and nasal passageways can be carriers Common treatments: - Sell cow - Try Dry treatment (doesn't normally work)
Contagious Mastitis Pathogens: Control Prevention: - Improved Milking procedures - Milk clean, dry teats - Keep liner slips minimum - Dry treat all cows Eliminating Infection: - Treat all cows at drying off with antibiotic products for DCT - Cull chronically infected cows
Contagious Mastitis Pathogens: Streptococcus Agalactiae Source: infected udders - Spread: cow to cow (during milking) - Chronic; subclinical - Lack of control = high BTSCC - Can be eradicated
Environmental Mastitis Pathogens: Coliforms - E. Coli - Klebsiella - Enterobacter
Environmental Mastitis Pathogens: Environmental Streptococci - Strepto. uberis - Strepto. Dysgalactiae
Environmental Mastitis Pathogens: Enterococcus spp. - Enter. faecium - Enter. faecalis
Environmental Mastitis Pathogens Source: Manure, bedding, where cows congregate New Infections: - between milking - early and late dry periods - hot, humid weather Duration: - 60-70% last <30 days - Clinicals: 50-80%
Traditional Mastitis Control - Hygiene - Milking Management - Dry Cow therapy - clean, dry environment - enhanced resistance: coliform vaccine- dry off, mid-dry, and calving micronutrient nutrition- selenium, vit. e, copper, zinc
Milking Procedures 1. Dip: clean 2. Strip: Checking Milk 3. Dry 4. Apply: Milking machine 5. Dip: clean
Pre-Dip Germicidal teat dip reduces environmental mastitis by 50%
Environmental Control 1. Bedding (Straw, Sawdust, Compost Bedded Pack, Sand [ideal]) 2. Manure Removal 3. Clean ,Dry environment (keep dry and out of mud) 4. Reduce exposure to pathogens
Factor Affecting Milk Production 1. Breeding, genetics management - nutrition and feeding - sanitation - mastitis 2. Heat stress 3. Requirements of offspring 4. Age, Parity 5. # of offspring
Milk Secretion Oxytocin stimulates milk "letdown" - causes contraction of myoepithelial cells around alveoli (45-90 sec after stimulation)
Milk Secretion Hormone Prolactin and Growth Hormone (BST) - stimulate and increase milk production in alveoli
After Birth 1. Digestive tract increases {hypertrophy} (especially liver) 2. Calcium and Phosphorous mobilized from bone 3. Adipose tissue=mobilized 4. Muscle protein reserved=mobilized 5. Increased gluconeogenesis (pathway by which glucose is formed)
BST (Bovine Somatotropin)/(Bovine Growth Hormone) - Higher milk production (.5-1.5 gallons a day - Requires increased health management - Naturally produced in cows and only active in cattle - 90% destroyed in pasteurization - Digested as protein in humans - Public scared of BST
Raw Milk Not pasteurized or homogenized - CDC and FDA strongly against it Cons: - E. Coli O157:H7 - Listeria - TB - Salmonella
Milk Fever (Parturition Paresis) - Metabolic Disorder (low levels of calcium in blood) Symptoms: - Muscular weakness, drowsiness - Cow goes down and can't get back up - Treatable if detected early untreated may go into shock and die
Ketosis - Metabolic disease' Energy demands exceed energy intake = neg. energy balance - Formation of ketones during fat metabolism (acetone instead of acetic acid)
Ketosis Symptoms - Reduce milk yield - Weight loss - Reduced Appetite - Dull coat - Acetone smell to breath/milk - Fever - Nervous signs: excessive salvation, licking, aggression, etc.
Dairy Production 1. California 2. Wisconsin 3. Idaho 32. TN
Holstein - Originated in holland - Largest: 1,500-2,200lbs, 58'' tall - Black and white - Average production: 23,791lbs milk/lactation 9.7 gallons/day 3.7% fat - 90% of daily producers milk Holsteins
Jersey - Originated in British Channel; Island of Jersey - Smallest: 880-1,100lbs - Average Production: 17,302 lbs. milk/lactation 7 gallon/day 4.8% fat - Valued for high quality butterfat in milk - Fawn color: light tan -almost black
Brown Swiss Huge but can't produce as much as Holstein almost looks like a beef cattle
Guernsey - Mid-size - Very docile - frail mentally and physically - Don't really have the "will" to live
Ayrshire - Ireland - Really high longevity - A bit of an attitude ( like a sassy mare)
Ideal Dairy Type 1. Tall Stature 2. Angularity 3. Long, lean neck 4. Defined milk veins 5. Strong feet and legs 6. Level rump
Economically important traits in dairy cattle - High milk production - Longevity - Reproductive Performance - Milking ease - Quiet disposition
Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) - Nearly 1/2 of all U.S dairy cattle enrolled - Includes national database that is utilized for genetic evaluation 4 common data collection procedures 1. Supervised 2. Partially supervised 3. Owner conducted tests 4. Supervised electronic test
Pasteurizing and Homogenized Pasteurize: - Heating milk at 161 F Homogenized - Intense pressure (centrifuge) to break down fat into multiple particles
Milk Safety Timeline - 1864: Pasteurization : louis Pasteur - 1871: Refrigerated rail car - 1875: Silos=invented (uni. Illinois) - 1895: 1st commercial milking machines available
Dairy Trends pt. 1 - U.S dairy farms = decreased; Not enough money, people don't want to take over business - U.S dairy cow pop. = decreased then increased; lots of cows just on fewer farms
Dairy Tends pt. 2 (2) - U.S Milk Production = Increased; Bigger farms and more cows, increase in health management - U.S Consumption (Fluid) = Decreased; more options now, now we got so much w=milk where will it go
