Excerpt from The Energy Basis of Measuring Milk Yield in Dairy Cows
The dairy cow is maintained primarily as a milk animal, as a source of human food, and as such her worth depends upon her milk produc tion. The most obvious measure of the milk production of the cow is the yield of milk itself, in terms of weight or volume.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the use of the 'energy basis' as a measure for dairy cow yields, suggesting that milk yield alone is not an entirely satisfactory measure of production. Instead, the author proposes an energy-based approach that considers both the quantity and quality of milk production. The method estimates energy value from the fat percentage and weight of milk, showing a close correlation with observed energy values and overcoming the limitations of determining milk quality based solely on fat or solids-not-fat. This energy-based approach is shown to be correlated with nutrient requirements for lactation, offering a more comprehensive understanding of production efficiency. Fat percentage, in turn, is shown to be a reliable secondary indicator of the direction of energy expenditure in milk production, highlighting the relative emphasis on fat, protein, and lactose elaboration. Overall, this book provides a valuable framework for understanding and quantifying dairy cow production, with implications for breeding, feeding, and economic considerations in the industry.
