In India up to 50 million cows are suffering on dairy farms in unacceptable conditions. They suffer painful health problems and shorter lifespans due to over breeding, poor housing, confinement and over medication. India dairies: the solution Ÿ We are working with authorities to stop animals suffering in large, industrialised indoor dairy farms. Ÿ We are moving people to adopt animal friendly, sustainable, healthy farming practices. Ÿ We are working with farmers and authorities to develop humane and sustainable agriculture practices for high welfare milk production. Ÿ We are moving the government to develop high welfare milk production standards in India. Ÿ We are working with local people to adopt better animal husbandry practices, to increase milk production and quality, while protecting animals National Code of Practices for Management of Dairy Animals in India A growing number of the country's 300 million dairy animals – collectively the world's largest herd – are living in intensive farming systems in overcrowded, barren conditions causing immense suffering. We will now be working with the National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) to recommend dairy animal welfare in a range of Government of India policies and programmes. This is off the back of our launch of the National Code of Practices for Management of Dairy Animals in India last year. The NDRI will be encouraging the use of the Code of Practices to academics, and in internal government training. Going forward the high welfare management practices will be implemented at the cattle yards managed by the NDRI. The National Code of Practices for Management of Dairy Animals in India covers all aspects of the industry from advice on breeding and husbandry, through to guidance on how animals should be fed and housed. Basic hygiene, sanitation and guidance on record keeping are also included. With your support we plan to drive even greater change to enrich the lives of millions of dairy animals in India. You are helping us shape the future of the dairy industry to make sure it is sustainable, giving dairy animals a better chance of improved care and protection.

THE COST SHEET OF DAIRY FARM OF 15 BUFFALOES WILL HELP THE BUSINESS HOUSES TO MAKE DECISIONS ON DAIRY FARMING. Choice of Cattle This is the main Pillar of dairy farming upon which the profitability and working of the farmer depends. As per my thinking once you have bought best product for you. It will help you to generate huge profits. The Choice of Cattle Whether to go With Cows Farming or with Buffaloes Farming is Very Difficult for me because I don't have any Experience of Cattle. So I decided to consult with My Elder Brother, Who is Punjab Vety. Officer and with my Grand Father Who is Retd. Joint Director of Punjab Vety. Department. After Discussions I have decided to go for a Trail of 2 HF Cows 15 Buffaloes.

The Medical Expenditure of the HF Cows are much Higher than of Buffaloes. In Other Words, we can say that Medical Expenditure of HF Cows are Equal to the Total Milk Price. Upkeep of Calves As per my Experience of visiting Other Farms, They are not caring their Calves because of getting much milk from the cattle. The Calves are the Real Earning of the Farmer they will able to produce more milk (FEMALES) and Strength the Reproduction System of the Farm (MALES). Normally In Punjab Villages, They are not Caring the Males On the Belief that he will not give them Milk in near Future. You are Surprised to Know that a Bull is able to produce 70000 Calves during his life time. The Normal Charges for the Crossing is Rs 200 Only. With this, you can estimate the Proﬁtability from Reproduction.

The Success of a Dairy Farm is Very Much Depends upon the Conceiving of the Cattles. I my Dairy Farm I have got 100 % conceiving of the Buffaloes But 50 % of the Cows in my First Year of Farming. Capacity of Cattles Bought:1.

Buffaloes – 15+ Litres

Cows

No Proper Vety. Assistance Available In this Point I don't wish to comment on the Government's Style of Working But

- 25+ Litres

Whatever I have experienced will be discussed. In Our Punjab, We have Vety Hospitals at Village Level. A Vety. Doctor is appointed for almost 7-8 Villages. It is not possible for him / her to reach each and every Cattle of the ﬁeld. There are so many Unauthorised Doctors are working in villages. My Suggestion is that if we will boost them up with Proper Trainings and With Other Possible ways for their working that will help to uplift the level of the Youth and the Problem of Unemployment will get solved up to a Level. Rumours About Farming There are so many Tradinational Rumours about dairy farming. Whatever among them I have experienced is as follows:1.

This is not Full Fledge Business. You can't Get Good Income with this Type of business. Consider it as Side Business.

This Business is not for to Qualiﬁed Professionals.

The face of dead Calf will be used for milking cattle.

This is whatever i have experienced during the One Year Journey of Dairy Farming. Cost Sheet of 15 Buffaloes and 2 Cows Particulars

MICROBIOLOGICAL QUALITY OF CHAKKA DURING AMBIENT 0 +2 C) STORAGE (35 Introduction The role of fermented foods in human nutrition is well documented. The virtues of these fermented foods were known to man even during the ancient days of civilization. Today, the practice of preserving milk by fermentation has become a facile household technology and almost compulsory item of the diet in this sub-continent. Fermented milk products have curative effect against gastro-intestinal disorders and have been utilized by many civilization. Fermented milk product like chakka is prepared from dahi by isolating a major portion of milk-solids through staining and hanging the curd for draining of whey and consumed as an end product or utilized as an intermediate in the preparation of shrikhand, shrikhand wadi etc. The solids mass chakka, contains an average of 63.2 per cent moisture, 14.7 per cent fat and 0.8 per cent lactic acid (De, 1980). As a major enterprise, the market for fermented milk products industry is growing in India. As per the market potential is considered National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) has taken all out efforts to improve upon the marketability of the fermented milk products.

DAIRY ANIMAL MANAGEMENT IN SUMMER SEASON

outside reduces the absorption of direct sunlight and thus decreases the internal temperature of houses. Introduction

Hot weather during summer season is predisposing factor for heat stress in lactating cattle in India. This in turn increases body temperature of the animals. This adversely affects the feed intake, milk production and fertility and growth rate of the cows. On every 1oC rise in temperature above 30oC reduces feed intake by about 5% and above 40oC it get reduced to half compare to their thermonuetral temperature zone. This effect is more profound with high lactating cows. Although effects are more severe in hot climates, dairy cattle in areas with relatively moderate climates also are exposed to periods of heat stress. This hot climate adversely affects the estrous cycles in animals mainly in buffaloes. This severe decrease in animal production can be overcome by implementing some program consisting of cooling through shades, ventilation, spray, fans etc. and modifying the feeding practices.

Preventive measure to minimize these heat stressors

Causes of heat stress When effective temperature of the environment rises than the animal's thermoneutral zone predisposes heat stress in animals. A combination of environmental conditions favors for this rise listed below Ÿ

Atmospheric Temperature

Relative Humidity

Air Movement or lack of proper ventilation and

Solar Radiation

There is no single method of reducing heat stress in animals. Integrated approach is the only successful approach. Management strategies to minimize the effect of heat stress are: Ÿ

P h y s i c a l m o d i ﬁ c a t i o n of t h e environment

Improved feeding practices

Genetic development of heat tolerant breed

Physical modification of the environment It can be made by following a) Design of shed The cattle shed be in “A” shape with the longer axis in east west direction. This decreases the amount of direct sunlight shining on the side walls or entering the house. Cross ventilation is very muck helpful in reducing internal temperature of houses and that to the heat stress also. A height of 8 feet at sides and 15 feet at the ridges is adequate to give necessary air space in a conventional cattle shed. Thermal stress can be reduced by reducing ground reflection of sun light(by coverage of landscape around the shed with grass, shrubs and bushes), attached shade (projection of roof), minimizing the solar radiation (suitable method and material for roofing) etc. white painting the roof

b) Shade and planting of tree Providing shade by any mean and trees around cattle sheds reduces chance of heat stress in animals. Threes also provides fresh cool air which help the animals to keep their body cool. c) Ventilators and fans Ve n t i l a t o r s and fans keep on circulating the fresh air from outside. They throughout the warm air and noxious gases of animal houses outside and provides fresh air to animals. Various types of inlet and outlet ventilators are being used in modern animal sheds. d) Mist and fan System Mist particles are sprayed onto the body of the cow, to wet the hair. A fan is then used to evaporate the moisture, as a way of cooling the cow. Cooling in the form of fans and sprinklers is usually beneﬁcial and is easily installed in these cattle shed. Research shows an 11% increase in milk yield when cows were cooled with fans and sprinklers compared with shading alone. Fans and water sprays are much more effective when they are used together. Either kind of cooling method used on its own is not very effective. Mist and spray systems are expensive to install. They will only give a proﬁt if the extra milk yield covers the installation cost. e) Grazing in night Cattle sheds may remain hot even after the sun goes down. Letting the dairy cows graze out in the night is a good way of helping them lose heat. DAIRY PLANNER | VOL. 14 | NO. - 06 | June 2017

Improved feeding practices The energy needs of cattle rise in hot weather, which means they need more feed for energy and maintenance. However, at the same time, feed intake tends to fall. Heat stress causes a decline in dry matter intake, the cow's energy and protein requirements for maintenance and production increases. It is important to increase the energy and protein content of diets, if dairy cows are to maintain their performance in hot environments. Fat rich diet should be proffered in summer because they are easily digestible than ﬁbrous feed as produces less heat increment. The ꊊber content of the ration should be reduced slightly to encourage g r e a t e r i n t a ke i n h o t w e a t h e r. Increasing the energy in the diet can be achieved by increasing concentrates (grains) and decreasing forages in the

diet. Often the amount of crude protein in summer diets must be increased because of lower feed intake. Bypass protein values of 36 to 40% of total dietary crude protein are desirable. Profuse sweating by heat-stressed cows results in a considerable loss of potassium. The level of potassium, and also sodium and magnesium in the diet should be increased. Heat stress generally increases the production of free radicals, leading to oxidative stress. The use of anti-oxidants such as vitamin E reduces the impact of heat stress on the oxidative balance, resulting in improved milk quality and cow's health. G e n e t i c d e ve l o p m e n t of h e a t tolerant breed Colored breeds such as Jerseys and Brown Swiss seem to show greater tolerance to heat stress. Jerseys are also

better producers of butterfat and protein, while needing a lesser quantity of high-quality feed. Holsteins are less heat tolerant and they require adequate attention in hot weather. Crossbreeding with these breeds produces offspring with more heat tolerable capacity than indigenous one. Buffalos are more heat susceptible than cows. So buffalos need more attention. They are mud loving and do wallowing to keep their body cool. Conclusion A combination of fans, shade and welldesigned housing can help to alleviate the negative effect of high temperatures on dairy cows. Careful management, feeding strategies are important in achieving the optimum milk production. While there are many methods of reducing heat stress, selection of the most appropriate technique and its proper application is essential. If one method proves successful in one place, this does not guarantee success elsewhere.

COMMON REPRODUCTIVE DISORDER AND ITS PREVENTIVE MEASURESIN CATTLE

Introduction Breeding management is one of the most important activities in improving the productivity of the animals in terms of Milk production. The reproductive health of the animal is directly linked to the production of dairy animals. “Calf a year” is the recent trend which keeps the milk production sustainable and keeps a check on the reproductive health of the cattle. The cross-bred heifer should attain its puberty at the age of 18 months. There are certain reproductive disorders which prevents the milk production and animal health in turn hinders the livelihood of poor cattle owners. Gist of the reproductive disorders and its prevention methods will help the poor dairy cattle owners to understand the impact and maintain the reproductive health of their dairy cattle. Checklist for better reproductive health in dairy animals 1.

Age of puberty or ﬁrst signs of oetrus at 18 months of age.

“One calf per year” should be the mantra of dairy owners.

By the age of 10 years the cattle shouldhave calved 7 to 8 times.

Intercalving period should not be more than 12 to 13 months.

Within 45 to 60 days after calving animal should show ﬁrst oestrus signs.

Unhealthy and weak animals show irregular oestrus periodswhich will affect the economics of farmer, the 12

normal length between two estrum should have a interval of 21 days. The oestrous period should not be seen more than 24 hrs. Common reproductive disorders like animal not showing oestrus signs, silent heat, Endometritis, abortions, prolapse, dystocia, torsion, retention of placenta, still birthwill decrease the reproductive potential of animal. Farmer should know the information about reproductive diseases and treated in time will prevent the economic loss.

Lack of required amount of oestrogen hormone will cause animal unable to show oestrus signs externally called silent heat. Most common in Buffaloes. Prevention Both in the morning and evening during milking carefully examine the animal for oestrus signs. Mucous discharges atvulval lips, tail and hip region, teaser bulls can easily recognize the oestrus animal in the herd.

When animal doesn't show the regular heat signs and if the condition persists for more than one year.

Make sure that the animal is fed a balanced nutrition with mixture of paddy straw, green fodder; concentrate feed and mineral mixture in required concentration. Consult your local veterinarian if animal doesn't show oestrus signs within a period of 18 to 21 days.

Reasons

Endometritis

Normally farmer unable to recognize the heat signs would leads to misbelieve. Nutritional deﬁciency like minerals and Vit A. progesterone and oestrogen were very important for oestrus, during summer because of hot climate animal unable to produce required amount of hormones leads to disruption of oestrus cycle and also in natural crossing, farmer unable observe the heat signs will leads to misinterpretation. In this situation farmer go for pregnancy testing. Reproductive organs growth and corpus leuteom position in ovary will also involve in exhibitionof oestrus signs.

In this condition animal was in heat but unable to get pregnant when insemination was done. Pus discharges from vagina can be observed in this situation.

Common reproductive disorders and its prevention Anaestrum

Silent heat

Reasons Crossing of oestrus females with males which having genital diseases, diseases which were occurred when animal unable to parturate the calf like brucellosis, vibriosis, trichomoniasis cause Endometritis. Control Identify the infected animal and treated with antiseptics like povidine, betadine or antibiotics infusions like teramycin, pencilins or streptopencillins by DAIRY PLANNER | VOL. 14 | NO. - 06 | June 2017

infusing into uterus based on severity of infection. Leave the ﬁrst heat after disease treated. Show mucus discharges to veterinarian for conformation of Endometritis free or perform Endometritis sensitivity test for conformation. Abortions By diseases Brucellosis causative agent is Brucellaabortus. Usallyaffected animal abort at the age of 6 to 9 months. Find out the disease by blood testing with the help of veterinarian.

Deﬁciency of minerals like calcium and phosphorus.

Normally difﬁculty in par tuation observed in ﬁrst time of calving.

More number of calving can also lead this situation.

Reasons

Chance of occurrence was more in animals who showed before prolapse.

Conformation Observed the prolapsed mass from vaginal opening when animal laydown. Progress will be there if immediate identiﬁcation and treatment. Treatment and prevention

Trichomoniasis It was a protozoal disease caused by Tritrichomonas foetus. Animal abort usually at the age of 3 months.

Vibriosis bacterial disease caused by vibriofoetus. Effected animal shows abortion at the age 6 to 9 month of pregnant.

Other reasons

Protect the prolapsed mass otherwise infected with mud dung and urine.

Provide slant ﬂoor for animal

As per guidance of veterinarian give progesterone inj. 50 to 100 mg.

Condition like more oestrogen and less progesterone production in body. Lack of proper concentrate feed, vitamin – A, iodine in diet. Control

Treatment will change depend on time of severity of prolapse. P ro g re s s w i l l b e m o re w h e n immediate treatment of prolapse. Don't fed with a large meal at a time, provide little amount of feed and water in several times.

Isolate the pregnant animal from other animals

Provide mineral mixture 50 g per day with concentrate feed.

Collect the sample of placenta from aborted foetus carefully conduct test with the help of veterinarian and take preventive care for other animals.

Clean the prolapse mass and pore antiseptic or normal saline into uterus at the time of replacing in its position.

Send the serum sample for testing would be good.

Diet should free from deﬁciency of minerals and vitamin-A.

Prolapse Sometimes along with foetus uterus come out side from vagina when calving is called prolapse. Reasons Ÿ

Due to pressure inside the uterus or relaxation of uterine muscles.

Low level of progesterone concentration in body.

Tie the vulval lips in sequence manner to prevent further prolapse of uterus.

If pregnant animal showing prolapse treatment should be provide immediately otherwise leads to abortion.

Difﬁculty in parturition (Dystocia) Normally human need was not required at the time of parturition in animals except in situations like difﬁculty in parturition caused either by mother or foetus. In this situation veterinarian will cut the parts of foetus and remove from animal or perform cesarian operation.

Difﬁculty in parturition was observed either due to problem with dam or foetus was 26% & 74% respectively. Torsion of uterus cause less percentage only, deviation of head or legs or bending of legs at certain joints, position of foetus will cause difﬁculty of parturition. Prevention Ÿ

Calculate the date of parturition from date of insemination if delay in parturition consult veterinarian

Within 3 hours animal should calved after labour signs showing, if any difﬁculty consult veterinarian for calf delivery.

Normally livestock farmers assist the help of neighbours, traditional practitioners in par turition difﬁculties this unhygienic way of delivery of calf leads to occurrence of various reproductive diseases in some cases death of calf also will occur.

Identify the animal which showing difﬁculty in parturition consult near veterinarian for normal delivery if not possible conduct caesarean operation for delivery of calf.

In some cases torsion of uterus cause dystocia. Identify these situation and relieve the torsion immediately by operation or manual plank method if not it leads to death of the animal.

Retention of placenta Normally within 3 to 9 hours after par turition animal will shed the placenta, if it exceeds more than 24hours better to consult veterinarian. Normally retention of placenta occurs in old animals. Placenta hangs from vagina with bloody watery discharges can be observed. Reasons Ÿ

Placenta sticks to endometrial layers

DAIRY PLANNER | VOL. 14 | NO. - 06 | June 2017

of cow Ÿ

Improper identiﬁcation of shedding of placenta will leads to misinterpretation of animal not shed the placenta N o o b s e r va t i o n of p l a c e n t a l shedding of animal will leads to misinterpretation perceived by farmer.

Early aborted animal will take time to shed the placenta

In case of twin births the shedding of Placenta might be delayed.

Dairy Planner Maharashtra dairies to stop milk procurement

FA National Dairy Chairman Sean O'Leary has said the National Farm Survey results showing a 17 per cent fall in 2016 dairy farmers' incomes confirmed the fact that farmers have taken the brunt of the dairy downturn, While co-ops clearly supported milk prices in 2016, which reduced but did not eliminate profits, Irish dairy and ingredients exports increased 2 per cent to €3.38b, and the dairy recovery is continuing in earnest into 2017 – but farmers have not seen the full benefit of it, Mr O'Leary urged co-op board members, who will be meeting from this week to decide on May milk prices, to return a price uplift of up to 2c/l, Farmers have been worst hit by the market downturn in 2016, when their income fell 17 per cent despite a 4.4 per cent increase in production. Milk prices increased around 7.5c/l between July 2016 and February 2017, but have stagnated ever since. While co-ops may be tempted to further rebuild their balance sheets, we believe tarmers must not be denied the full benefit from the recovery which started 12 months ago, and has been strengthening further,Mr O'Leary said, Farmers recognise the effort made by co-ops to support milk prices in 2016, and while this softened the blow, it did not protect farmers from significant income reductions and cash flow stresses in 2016, as highlighted by the NFS results published last week, he added. Both global and EU dairy prices have been rising strongly in recent weeks. EU butter prices as quoted by the EU Milk Market Observatory for 28 May 2017 have increased by over 18 per cent since this year's trough in early March. SMP prices have lifted over 7 per cent since late April, while WMP is up 6.5 per cent over the same period. Cheddar prices are up 5.5 per cent and whey powder prices over 7 per cent, he said, An Irish product mix based on the quotes from the EUMMO would yield a current farm gate equivalent price, after deduction of 5c/l processing costs, of 33.52c/l + VAT (35.33c/l incl. VAT) he said, We are very clear that, as co-ops have increased sales significantly in recent months, and as dairy prices are recovering to, in the case of butterfat especially, historical levels, there is real scope for further milk price increases to be passed back to Irish dairy farmers,he concluded, 17

Dairies aerated drink companies eye high-margin milk-based beverages

he Association of Dairies from south Maharashtra comprising Sangli, Satara and Kolhapur has decided to support agitating farmers, However, it will not affect liquid milk supplies to the cities, it claimed as the dairies will reduce manufacturing of milk products like cheese, ghee etc, We have decided to stop the milk collection on Friday morning and will take a call on further collection depending upon the developments during the day. However, this will not affect liquid milk supply to cities,said Girish Chitale, partner, Chitale Dairy. This region collects about 25 lak litre milk everyday, most of it going to Mumbai, Milk collection in Ahmednagar district, another important supplier of liquid milk to Mumbai/Pune was drastically affected on Thur sday. Farmer strike was obser ved ﬁercely in Nashik and Ahmednagar district.

ndian dairies and aerated drink firms are increasingly entering into novel and Western-influenced milk-based beverages that offer significantly higher margins than traditional milk drinks, Leading Indian dairies Amul and Parag Milk Foods are among the frontrunners in launching nutritional and fruit-based milk beverages, an area where global aerated drink giants PepsiCo and CocaCola also made their entry over the past few months, ndustry representatives and sector analysts estimate more players from dairies, aerated drinks and fast moving consumer goods entering the highly attractive and rapidly growing new segment of the market, Dair y beverages as a segment is estimated to post sales of $1 billion (Rs 6,400 crore) in India by fiscal 2021, compared with Rs 1,280 crore in fiscal 2015, said a r e p o r t b y t h e Ta t a S t r a t e g i c Management Group, According to Bharat Kedia, chief financial officer at Parag Milk Foods, the milk-based beverages segment has the second highest margin -from 25% to as much as 45% -among the value-added segments after powdered nutrition products like whey and infant food. For

instance, while a litre of milk is sold at . 40-45, a 200ml pack of ﬂavoured milk ` costs Rs 20, As against traditional milkbased beverages like lassi, butter milk and plain ﬂavoured milk, dairies and aerated beverage makers have of late come up with products like oats milk, coffee milk and juices mixed with milk, registering quicker acceptance, Parag Milk Foods, which already has milkbased energy drink Topp Up, has recently launched Slurp, a combination of mango juice and milk, while PepsiCo has come up with oats milk. Amul has been claiming encouraging volumes for its Kool Coffee drink, Pankaj Gupta, senior practise head, consumer and retail practise at the Tata Strategic Management Group, said: “As dairies enjoy higher margins, they are focussing more on easy-to-consume form of beverages and are launching various products for every category of

age, Elaborating on the shift in consumer tastes and demands, Rabobank analyst Shiva Mudgil said ,The growing demand for milk-based beverages indicates a shift in consumer demand with rising purchasing power The market is still at a nascent stage in India, but is growing rapidly with newer players entering the fold and expanding rapidly, Beverages are fast emerging as a big revenue generator for dairies, said Kedia of Parag Milk Foods, According to him, the share of the beverages segment to overall revenue at his company could reach double digits in the next ﬁve years from a low single digit now, While innovations in new ﬂavours are taking place, Gupta of the Tata Strategic Management Group believes that development of newer pack options for consumers will also result in attractive opportunities for packaging providers, Currently, milk-based beverages are being sold in tetrapaks, metal cans, glass bottles, pet bottles and pouches, Dairies' next phase of growth would witness market expansion driven by newer consumption occasions or recruiting newer consumers through products and packaging,said Gupta.

NEWS Antibiotic-resistant Bacteria in Ready-to-eat Foods

esearch presented at the ASM Microbe 2017 meeting by Bryan Sanchez of California State UniversityNorthridge in Northridge, California, show that antibiotic-resistant bacteria are present in many ready-to-eat foods such as fresh produce and dair y products and may serve as a source of human exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria, About 2 million people become infected with antibiotic resistant-bacteria annually in the United States, resulting in over $35 billion in additional health care costs. Examining potential ways that humans can be exposed to antibiotic-resistant bacteria can help in understanding how to counter the threa, Approximately 80 per cent of antibiotics in the US are used by the agricultural industry, mostly for food production. Ready-to-eat foods, such as dairy products and fresh produce, do not undergo a "kill" step such as cooking during preparation, so antibiotic-resistant bacteria can either be directly consumed or can

contaminate kitchen surfaces or other foods, The study, conducted by a team of undergraduate student researchers lead by a graduate student (Tabitha Bayangos) in Dr Kerr y Cooper's research laboratory at California State University-Northridge in Northridge, California, was a preliminar y surveillance aimed at quantifying the antibiotic-resistant bacteria commonly present in ready-to-eat foods, The study, conducted by a team of undergraduate student researchers lead by a graduate student (Tabitha Bayangos) in Dr Kerr y Cooper's research laboratory at California State University-Northridge in Northridge, California, was a preliminar y surveillance aimed at quantifying the antibiotic-resistant bacteria commonly present in ready-to-eat foods, Organic or conventional fresh produce and dairy products were purchased from local grocery stores throughout the San Fernando Valley, California. The amounts of total bacteria and of bacteria resistant to eight different antibiotics (ciproﬂoxacin, tetracycline, e r y t h ro m yc i n , c h l o r a m p h e n i c o l , gentamicin, ampicillin, cefotaxime, and c o l i s t i n ) we re q u a n t i ﬁ e d , D a i r y products were found to have very low levels of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, with yogurt samples tending to have the highest amount," said Mr Sanchez.

The highest level of resistance in dairy products was found to be against cefotaxime, a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat numerous bacterial infections, Both organic and conventional produce were found to have on average 10,000 times more antibiotic-resistant bacteria than did dairy products. The highest levels of resistance were again found to be against cefotaxime, as well as the lastre s o r t a n t i b i o t i c c o l i s t i n , S i n c e antibiotics are not commonly used by the produce industry," said Mr Sanchez, "The fruits and vegetables are most likely contaminated with soil, a natural source of antibiotic-resistant bacteria." Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene for resistant bacterial identiﬁcation found a variety of genera resistant to each antibiotic, including many that are known to be naturally resistant to those particular antibiotics, However, we also identiﬁed a number of naturally sensitive bacteria that were found to be resistant to the different antibiotics tested. Our study shows that antibioticresistant bacteria are naturally present in many ready-to-eat foods such as fresh produce, but even dairy products with lower levels are directly consumed. These foods are potential sources of human exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Results of the study were presented on 4 June at the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Microbe conference in New Orleans.

PCR Testing Can Eliminate BVD Persistently Infected Cycle

ew research shows PCR’s higher sensitivity can reduce economic impact of false-negative results in infected calves, New research to be presented at the International Symposium of the World Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (WAVLD) June 7-10 in Sorrento, Italy, shows that using the right method for detection of Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) virus in persistently infected (PI) calves plays an important role in eliminating the virus from the herd, PI calves look normal and act normal, so the only way to identify if a calf is a PIBVD virus carrier is to test each calf,said Gregg Hanzlicek, DVM, Ph.D.at Kansas St a t e Ve t e r i n a r y D i a g n o s t i c Laboratory,Using an ear notch sample, PCR is the best tool to identify PI calves so farmers can remove them from the herd before breeding season starts, PIBVD animals continuously shed the virus and are the main source of BVDV infection in the herd. It is very well documented that if PI-BVD animals aren’t removed quickly from a cow-calf operation and are exposed to pregnant 20

cows, a new crop of PI calves will be born the following year, For farmers who calve in the spring, now is the best time to test for PI-BVD calves,Dr. Hanzlicek said, It is important to remove them before the bulls are turned or artificial insemination begin, Other wise, BVDV will continue circulating in the herd, The study by the Kansas State Diagnostic Laboratory compared the BVD virus sensitivity and specificity performance of three commercial kits Two antigen detection immunotests from a competitor supplier and the Applied Biosystems VetMAX-Gold BVDV PI Detection PCR Kit from Thermo Fisher Scientific, The results showed that the diagnostic technologies had different levels of sensitivity and an equal level of specificity compared to results with gold standard methods immunohistochemistry and RNA sequencing. Thermo Fisher’s real-time PCR test was more sensitive than the competitor’s antibody-based methods. Detection of BVDV in newborn calves using antibody-based tests can be difficult as calves can have very high antibody titers to BVDV via ingested colostrum. These maternal antibodies can shield the virus and prevent its detection in t h i s t y p e of te s t , T h e p r a c t i c a l implication of using diagnostic technologies with low sensitivity in a l o w B V D p re va l e n c e a re a i s of significant importance and can

translate to not detecting some of the PIBVD animals. Undetected PI-BVD animals are one of the main problems in eradication and control programs because it allows PI-BVD calves to comingle with BVD-negative cattle and perpetuate the infection in the herd, Diseases like BVD place a major economic burden on the livestock industry. The results we present at the WAVLD demonstrate Thermo Fisher’s dedication to developing practical, accurate solutions for today’s livestock industry, while innovating for tomorrow’s challenges, said Martin Guillet, Global Head and General Manager of Agri Business at Thermo Fisher, During the WAVLD conference, Thermo Fisher will host a workshop on June 9th entitled, Innovating solutions for today and tomorrow, In addition, a number of oral and scientiﬁc posters will be presented including, Return on Investment of Diagnostics of Tritrichomonas foetus in Breeding Bulls from the State of Chihuahua, Development and Validation of Tuberculosis Real-time PCR Kit, The Effect of Pooling Five or 11 Tracheal/ Oropharyngeal (TR/OP) Swabs on the Per formance of a USDA Licensed Reverse, Transcriptase, Real-Time PCR Te s t f o r A v i a n I n ﬂ u e n z a V i r u s , Development and Evaluation of ELISA for the Detection of Bovine Tuberculosis, Detecting Porcine Coronaviruses - PEDV, PDCoV and TGEV by Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase PCR.

NEWS Using Antibiotics Responsibly, Part 1: The Veterinarian's Valuable Role

or beef producers, the veterinarian plays a central role. When we do need to use antibiotics, we know that we need to use them responsibly (in both animals and people) to help keep them effective and available for decades to come, As veterinarians, we have an ethical responsibility to make sure that we preserve the efﬁcacy of antibiotics for future generations and ensure continued access to certain classes of antibiotics in food animals,” said Robin Falkner, DVM, managing veterinarian at Zoetis. “We use our medical training when we prescribe these medicines to restore or maintain animal health and well-being, and we take the responsibility of using them very seriously, Veterinarians strive to prescribe antibiotics in a responsible way to not only help treat infections but also to help reduce the unintended risk of antimicrobial resistance,This includes helping producers, Decrease the need to use antibiotics. Doing things to help keep animals from ever getting sick is our top priority,Dr. Falkner said. This means looking at disease management and making tweaks that can help prevent disease outbreaks, Ensure antibiotics are used only when they are needed. Antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infection. Veterinarians help identify if a bacterial disease is present or likely to be present, and then can recommend the right antibiotic to help address the disease challenge. For instance, there are four key bacterial pathogens associated with bovine respiratory disease, and we can recommend an antibiotic that will be effective against these pathogens, Dr. Falkner said, Reduce the need for additional antibiotic treatments. Animals sometimes get sick, so when we do need to treat these animals, our priority becomes getting the highest 21

treatment success, Dr. Falkner said. There are different classes of antibiotics that work in different ways. For example, a triamilide macrolide, such as DRAXXIN® (tulathromycin) Injectable Solution, works by interfering with protein synthesis in target pathogens, and a cephalosporin, such as EXCEDE® (ceftiofur crystalline free acid) Sterile Suspension, kills bacteria by destroying cell walls. If you have the right antibiotic that works the first time, Avoid antibiotic residues in meat. Proper administration and following label instructions are important to ensure product efficacy and safety. This means reviewing treatment protocols with your veterinarian about the correct dose, route of administration and adhering to proper withdrawal times, What I find is, when the veterinarian understands what’s important to the producer in the long-term, the veterinarian can make recommendations beyond just treating the immediate animal that’s sick,” Dr. Falkner said. “It takes effort, and the intent of both parties, to develop that type of relationship and see the results that this relationship can bring, For Brenda Paul, owner at Timberlawn Farm in Paris, Kentucky, it means she can keep making improvements. Having a veterinarian’s input enhances animal health decisions that can help maintain the responsible use of antibiotics, An outside opinion is a very helpful thing to have,Paul said,We’re constantly evaluating what’s working, what’s not working and what changes we need to make, Her veterinarian helps in evaluating data to see if they’re heading in the right direction, if there’s a treatment need, or if they need a change in the protocol, We’ve been working together on developing this program over all the years we’ve been in the business,” Paul said. “And that will

NEWS Live Cattle Exports Up 43% on Last Year

FA National Livestock Chairman Angus Woods said live exports are performing well this year and providing a major boost to cattle farmers, He said a total of 116,000 head of livestock have already been exported up to May 20th, an increase of 43 per cent on last year. Angus Woods said the beneﬁt of every one of these exports has been reﬂected in higher and more competitive cattle prices in marts all across the country, IFA is totally committed to maintaining a strong live export trade, which Mr Woods said is essential for price competition and providing market outlets for livestock. He also welcomed the strong commitment Agriculture Minister Michael Creed has shown to live exports, He said,It is essential that the Government and the Department of Agriculture have a positive policy towards the live export trade and ensure that it is regulated in a proper and practical way, which maximises its potential and fully protects the trade, The IFA Livestock leader said that more than 85,000 calves have been exported this year, mainly male Holstein Friesian, with the main markets being the Netherlands and Spain. He said almost 40,000 head have gone to the

Netherlands and a further 36,000 to Spain, Mr Woods said the IFA campaign early this year, which succeeded in reducing the charges on calf exports by over €1,100 per load, was a major factor in ensuring a strong calf trade this spring. He also acknowledged the support of Minister Creed who reduced the Department of Agriculture charges from €4.80 to €1.20 per calf. He added IFA had worked closely with the D e pa r t m e n t of A g r i c u l t u re a n d exporters in improving welfare and transport conditions for calf exports to the EU, On international live exports, Angus Woods said it is ver y encouraging to see designated live export ships regularly loading in Irish ports this spring. He said to date, four loads of cattle have been shipped with many more planned for the summer and into the back end of the year. Three boat loads have been shipped to Turkey and a further boat load to Libya, Mr Woods said IFA worked hard in getting the Turkish market opened for live exports and it was now very positive to see boats sailing regularly, bringing strong competition to the ring side in marts all across the country. He said at present Purcell Bros., who have a contract for 20,000 cattle to Turkey, have the Atlantic M on the seas with 3,000 bulls on board, Last year, the Co Meath based exported Viastar shipped over 19,000 cattle to Turkey. The Limerick/Kerry based Hallissey group also sent a boat load to Turkey, earlier this year. Supreme Livestock recently sent a boat load of 1,850 bulls to Libya, The IFA Livestock leader strongly

defended the animal welfare aspects of the live export trade,He said all live expor ts are fully cer tified by Department of Agriculture veterinary inspectors, who pay par ticularly attention to animal health and welfare, In addition, Angus Woods said Teagasc has proved scientifically that there is no adverse effect on the welfare of livestock from the proper transportation of livestock from Ireland to the Middle East, He cited a major Teagasc study undertaken by Dr Bernadette Early MRCVS on the transport of 120 young bulls during an 11 day journey to the Lebanon. The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of sea transport on the physiological, behavioural and performance responses of young bulls. The conclusion of the comprehensive peer reviewed study was that the welfare of young bulls transported by sea journey was not adversely affected, Mr Woods said IFA is pushing hard for the opening up of the live export trade to Egypt. He said this would be a major boost to the Irish livestock and beef sector. He said IFA has requested the Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed to lead a trade delegation to Egypt to assist with the reopening of the trade, adding that the Egyptian market is a major importer of live cattle, The IFA Livestock Leader said IFA has a very strong policy regarding payment for livestock. He said the IFA advice is very clear. Sell you livestock in your local mart where payment is guaranteed. Selling finished cattle to a factory insist on payment on the day.

NEWS Process to Implement Statutory Dairy Cattle Export Charge Commences

he Australian Livestock Exporters’ Council (ALEC) has commenced a process to implement a statutory Dairy Cattle Export Charge at a rate of $6 per head, The consultation period for the proposed statutory charge, which has now commenced, will conclude on 1 September 2017, with ALEC overseeing the process in accordance with the A u s t r a l i a n G o v e r n m e n t ’s L e v y Principles and Guidelines, ALEC CEO Simon Westaway said that following c o n s u l t a t i o n w i t h s t a ke h o l d e r s ,

Australian Government licensed livestock exporters would vote on the establishment of the Dairy Cattle Export Charge, The collection of the statutory Dairy Cattle Export Charge will ensure our industry’s service delivery body, LiveCorp, is adequately resourced to administer programs to enhance the p ro d u c t i v i t y, s u s t a i n a b i l i t y a n d competitiveness of Australia’s dairy cattle export industry by undertaking RD&E and providing technical support to dairy cattle exporters,he said, The revenue will be invested for beneﬁt the industry, with a focus on enhanced accountability, transparency and community engagement, as well as facilitating and maintaining market access and delivering RD&E projects to improve animal health and welfare, Australian livestock exporters currently pay statutor y export charges on exported beef cattle, sheep and goats, In 2006 livestock exporters chose to

initiate a voluntary charge on exported dairy cattle, introduced to enable funding for sector-specific RD&E and marketing at a rate of $3 per head. ALEC members voted to increase the voluntary charge to $6 per head in 2014, The voluntary dairy cattle export charge is significantly under-collected and is not sufficient to meet the RD&E and marketing needs of the dairy cattle export sector, Mr Westaway said, ALEC members unanimously voted to implement a statutory Dairy Cattle Export Charge because exporters recognise the importance of collective, t a rg e te d R D & E i n ve s t m e n t a n d acknowledge the restrictions and challenges of the current voluntary arrangement, The implementation of a statutory Dairy Cattle Export Charge reflects both a positive and necessary step forward for the dairy cattle export sector as well as Australia’s livestock export industry more broadly.

FAO Reaches Milestone in Famine Prevention Campaign in Somalia

he Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is p u s h i n g f o r w a rd w i t h a m a s s i v e campaign that has so far treated more than 12 million animals in less than three months, protecting the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of families who rely on their livestock's meat and milk for survival, By mid-July, FAO will have reached 22 million animals, beneﬁting over 3 million people, Saving animals saves human lives and livelihoods. When animals are weakened by drought, they stop producing milk or die which means people go hungry and families are pushed out of self-reliance," said Richard Trenchard, FAO Representative in Somalia, Around 3.2 million people in Somalia are on a hunger knife-edge. The majority live in rural areas and livestock 23

such as goats, camels, sheep and cattle are their main source of food and income, What we have heard again and again from displaced people in camps is that when they lost their animals, ever ything collapsed. It is a steep, long climb for them to get back on their feet again. We have stepped up our response to reach families before that happens," Mr Trenchard said, adding: "Livelihoods are their best defence against famine, FAO is deploying 150 veterinary teams across Somalia to treat goats and sheep as well as cattle and camels - up to 270,000 animals each day. The teams are made up of local Somali veterinary professionals, Livestock badly weakened by the lack of feed and water are highly susceptible to illnesses and parasites but are too weak to withstand vaccination. As part of an integrated response program to improve the conditions of livestock, animals are treated with multivitamin boosters, medicines that kill off internal and external parasites, deworming, and other treatments to ﬁght respiratory infections,

The simple and cost-effective care being provided by the FAO vet teams is reinforcing animals' coping capacity and keeping them alive and productive, FAO's livestock campaign in Somalia is being supported mainly thanks to generous funding from the UK's Department for International Development (DFID) with impor tant contributions from the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD) and the UN's Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF). FAO has also mobilized some of its own resources to back the effort, Through its Famine Prevention and Drought Response Plan, FAO is delivering larges c a l e , s t r a t e g i c c o m b i n a t i o n s of assistance to prevent famine in Somalia. In addition to livestock treatments, this includes giving rural families cash for food purchases, helping communities rehabilitate agricultural infrastructure, and providing farmers with vouchers for locally-sourced seeds along with tractor services that reduce their labour burden.

UHT dairy plant after Dendairy and Dairiboard, Probrands managing director Calum Philp told the Herald Business during a tour of the plant last week that the company sees growth opportunities in the dairy industry, We have commissioned the UHT dairy plant and it is out aim as Probrands to become a force to reckon with in the local manufacturing sector because we believe that is the way towards economic revival, We have since realised that there is massive growth opportunities in the dairy industry. Probrands has been packaging milk products since inception but we managed to put up our ﬁrst dairy plant and we have managed to introduce to the market products like Masi and Sawa Sawa, said Mr Philp, He said the company was purchasing less than 50 000 litres a month a year ago and has within 12 months surpassed that ﬁgure

showing the company’s commitment to support raw milk producers, It is high time Zimbabwe stops impor ting ﬁnished products because the room is there for growth. We would like to appreciate Government support on our business especially the introduction of SI 64 has had a great impact towards growth of our business, said Mr Philp, He added that the company has also put up a steri production line which is expected to come on line in the next one week, Milk processors in Zimbabwe have been making huge investments into new processing equipment (Dairiboard Steri plant in Chipinge, Dendairy UHT factory in Kwekwe, Alpha Omega UHT and ice-cream equipment in Mazowe, Nestle has also commissioned new equipment) which upped the sector’s capacity utilisation eventually pushing down imports.

Nutrimix, Seprod Target Kids to Boost Dairy Consumption

rimary schoolchildren have been placed at the centre of a campaign by Nutrimix and Seprod, to revitalise and promote wider consumption of local dair y milk , Thursday was celebrated globally as World Milk Day and at the St Richards Primary School off Red Hills Road in St Andrew, Nutrimix and Seprod sought to capture the minds and appetites of the youngsters by imparting information to them on the great beneﬁts of consuming real cow's milk, Seprod is responsible for distributing Serge Island Milk, Nutrimix's Brand Manager Tina Hamilton told The Gleaner, "This is a campaign initiated by Nutrimix. We

are ver y excited to tr y and help influence the dairy industry and the consumption of milk,The kids are very smart, You have to start with the kids because you don't find that a lot of them nowadays have great knowledge about dairy and where it stands in a balanced diet; or even what the benefits are. We found it important to reach out to the kids so they can pass it down to their own kids, Parents should give them milk because it is better for their energy at school. Give them milk for breakfast because it keeps them full longer and they don't get hungry right after they go to school, Hamilton highlighted that the consumption of d a i r y m i l k l o c a l l y h a s d ro p p e d

signiﬁcantly over the years and the aim of Nutrimix and Seprod is to reintroduce milk drinking on a wide scale, We are coming from the height of the dairy industry. We were (producing locally) 44 million litres a year and we dropped all the way down to 11 million litres, so the campaign started last year and it is a 10-year campaign, Serge, through Seprod, has done a lot of tremendous things on the production side. Nutrimix has been involved in the artiﬁcial insemination of cattle from Holland, so we can improve the breeding stock out here so our cows can produce more milk,stated Ms Hamilton.

NEWS Dairy Products Good Dietary Source of Types of Vitamin K

itamin K, with its multiple forms, is among the lesser known nutrients. Now, new research from scientists at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (USDA HNRCA) at Tufts University sheds new light on the vitamin and its significant presence in some dair y products available in the United States, In the study, published 1 June in Current Developments in Nutrition, researchers quantified the activity of two natural forms of vitamin K in dairy products of various fat contents and found that common US dairy items, including milks, yogurts and cheeses, contain appreciable amounts of multiple forms of vitamin K. Vitamin concentrations varied by fat content, Vitamin K, which helps the blood to clot, is most commonly thought to come from leafy greens such as spinach, kale and broccoli. In fact, dietary sources of vitamin K are found in two natural forms: phylloquinone (PK, or vitamin K1), which is widely distributed through plant-based foods, and menaquinones (MK, or vitamin K2), which appear to be primarily in animal products and fermented foods. Almost all MK forms are also produced by bacteria in the human gut. Not much is known about MK amounts in US dairy products, Dairy foods contain minute amounts of PK, the best known of the vitamin K forms, and so dair y is not commonly considered a rich dietary source for this nutrient. However, when it comes to MK forms, we found that dairy items already found in many peoples' refrigerators are indeed a good dietary source for vitamin K," said Xueyan Fu, PhD, first and 25

corresponding author and scientist in the Vitamin K Laboratory at the USDA HNRCA , Guidelines for adequate vitamin K intake are based only on PK intake without consideration for other forms of vitamin K. MK differ from PK in structure in that they are compounds with different numbers of isoprenoid units in the side chain, designated as MK4 through MK13. Which forms of MK are present reﬂects which bacteria might be in the dairy products. Lactic acid bacteria, for example, are widely used in dairy and fermented foods, To understand the presence of MK and PK in dairy products, the researchers used 50 nationally collected dairy samples provided by the USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory and 148 dairy samples purchased in 2016 from Boston area retail outlets. The products were divided into categories based on dairy types and fat content: milks, yogurts, Greek yogurts, keﬁrs, creams, processed cheeses, fresh cheeses, blue cheeses, soft cheeses, semi-soft cheeses, and hard cheeses. The effect of fat content on total vitamin K in all forms was compared using a two-sample T-test. The vitamin K content of cream products, for which the researchers had a smaller sample size, was analyzed using a general linear model, with heavy cream as the reference group, All full-fat dairy products contained appreciable amounts of MK, primarily in the forms of MK9, MK10 and MK11. Combined, these three forms of MK accounted for approximately 90 per cent of total vitamin K present in the foods tested, In cheeses, the total vitamin K content varied by type, with soft cheese having the highest concentration, followed by blue cheese, semi-soft cheese, and hard cheese. All of the cheeses contained MK9, MK10 and MK11, and modest amounts of PK, MK4, MK7, MK8 and MK12. Little MK5, MK6 or MK13 was measured in the majority of cheeses, In milk, the vitamin K concentrations

varied by fat content; both total vitamin K and individual MK concentrations in full-fat milk were signiﬁcantly higher than in 2 per cent milk. PK was only detected in full-fat milk. Only MK9-11 were detected in milk, In yogurts, full-fat regular and Greek yogurts exhibited similar vitamin K concentrations as in full-fat milk; neither MK nor PK were detected in fat-free yogurt, Estimated intakes of PK and MK in dairy-producing countries in Western Europe suggest that between 10 and 25 per cent of total vitamin K intake are provided by MK, and primarily from dairy sources. Additionally, observational data from Europe suggest that MK from dairy products have a stronger association with heart health beneﬁts compared with PK intakes. This data from other countries highlights the need to analyze MK in commonly consumed foods in the US," said Sarah L. Booth, PhD, last author on the study, Dr Booth is senior scientist and director of the Vitamin K Laboratory at the USDA HNRCA, interim director of the USDA HNRCA, and professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, Additional research is needed to determine the role of microbes used in production of dairy products, and their impact on MK content. The researchers also say there is a need to determine the relative bioavailability of all MK forms given their abundance in the US diet, The researchers acknowledge limitations of the study, including the reliance on food labels for fat content instead of direct measurement of fat content. Additionally, whereas the dairy product samples obtained from the USDA Nutrient Data Laborator y were geographically representative of the US diet, those purchased in the Boston region were not. However, items purchased locally were selected from retail outlets with national representation. DAIRY PLANNER | VOL. 14 | NO. - 06 | June 2017
