The Effects Of Dairy Farms On The Dairy Industry

The Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation, run by general manager John Meek, aims to improve the efficiency and profitability of dairy farming through an accurate, rapid, and cost effective milk testing service. Milk testing is an essential herd management component for all dairy processors as it measures the amount, quality and contents of the dairy products. Supply management agencies limit milk production; thus, profit is maximized through acquiring premiums from quality dairy with high levels of protein and butter fat as opposed to mass production and distribution. The dairy herd is the largest source of revenue for farmers, data from milk testing helps maximize milk production as farmers

In 1990, there were over 9300 dairy farms in Ontario housing almost 450,000 cows. The farm-gate value of milk produced exceeded 1.3 billion dollars. At the retail level, dairy product sales in Ontario exceeded 4 billion dollars. The number of dairy herds in Ontario on a milk-testing program had declined from about 7100 in 1985 to 6000 in 1990. Moreover, a continued decrease was projected.

In the US today cattle are part of everyday culture. With more than 93 million cattle in the dairy and beef industry, and tens of thousands in the rodeo business, cattle are definitely a huge part. Lately, there has been many concerns with the bovine friends along with multiple misconceptions. Rodeos may look tough on animals, and todays society is not educated well enough on the beef and dairy industry. People don’t realize that these animals are happy, healthy, and very well cared for.

The dairy industry is an integral part of Canadian agriculture. It is the third largest

Bacteria are ubiquitous; they can be found on the skin, in the soil, and inside the body. Because of the very nature of this ubiquity, it is important to be able to determine between different strains of bacteria. An example of this is determining the causative agent for a disease so that the patient will be treated with the appropriate antibiotics. It may be important to determine the bacteria in a certain region, because like with enteric bacteria, it is normal to find them in the digestive tract as they are in a symbiotic relationship with our bodies in this area; however, they also cause opportunistic infections in places outside of the digestive tract to our detriment, such as with a urinary tract infection. Some strains of bacteria are common to nosocomial infections, and identifying these bacteria as such helps create the guidelines for healthcare workers in antiseptic technique. All of the morphology and characteristics of each strain of bacteria help us to better understand the role of bacteria in the body as well as helps us understand how they can cause illness, and what treatment regimen to set in place. In lab this semester, a sample of unknown

Dairy farming has changed because of technology over the years. Dairy products are now made easier and faster and can be cropped in a short amount of time. Cows are now milked faster so that farmers can get a better profit and more money. In 2009 the Johnsons installed four robotic milking machines. Johnson said that ”they went crazy for that”and it did all the work in ten minutes.the farms were getting bigger because of technology but farms started to decrease because their were bigger individual ones. Thousands of the farms went out of business because technology was expensive and many people could not afford it. Now that technology was found people could go on vacations. “ Johnson and his family could be more involved in their community

Presently, speculations have risen about the amount of antibiotics used in the livestock industry and the desire to consume antibiotic-free meats. What is not understood, however, is the USDA has been monitoring the amount of antimicrobial residue in meats for several years. If unsafe levels are detected the meat is not allowed to be sold for human consumption. Yet, fast food chains such as Subway and Chipotle are claiming to go completely antibiotic free within the next decade. The practicality of this becoming a reality is slim due to the need to control, treat, and prevent diseases. To truly understand the importance of the antibiotic usage in cattle it must first be understood what antibiotics are and the reasons they are used. Additionally, the use of vaccinations should be taken into account for the

The results suggest that pasteurization kills most pathogens in milk by brief exposure to relatively high temperature. This was demonstrated most beneficially with the 10-6 and 10-7 dilutions wherein the raw milk exhibited 284,000,000 cells/mL and 440,000,000 cells/mL respectively and the pasteurized milk had too few cell colony forming units to even count. Unpasteurized milk is not healthy for people to drink. For example, in a study performed in December of 2001, the bacteria Campylobacter jejuni, a microaerophilic bacteria commonly found in animal feces, was found in unpasteurized milk at an organic dairy farm in Wisconsin and caused 75 people, ages 2 to 63, to become ill.

Dairy farming is one of the most important sectors of Canadian agriculture. It is ranked in third place after grains and beef. The country´s 12.234 farms recorded total farm revenue of $5.92 billion in 2013. The 474 dairy plants located all over the country had estimated sales of $15.7 billion in 2013, accounting for the 16% of the value of manufactured shipments of food and beverages (Statics of the Canadian Dairy Industry 2014 Edition, 2014).

The dairy business is a major industry in Canada which operates under the supply management system. Whether supply management should be eliminated or not has become a long-term debate in recent years. The system is necessary in making Canada's dairy industry become stronger and more reliable. As supply management is discussed as a whole, identifying the main reasons and effects of keeping supply management will be focused on. Specifically, how supply management effects Canadian dairy farmers, the economy, and consumers .

In a tragic conclusion, over 30,000 dairy cows have died due to the winter storm last weekend. Dairy producers in Texas and New Mexico are still continuing to count the numbers.

Prior to the introduction of factory-based farming, the dairy industry was operated by women and primarily used solely for domestic consumption. This allowed women to be the sole dairy worker increasing the overall household income by earning a small wage. However, due to the addition of factories, dairy farm specialization and the conventional structure of a household and division of labour, the role of women was largely replaced. Marjorie Griffin-Cohen explores the cause of women’s diminishing role in the article, “The Decline of Women in Canadian Dairying”. She discusses the expansion of the dairy industry while comparing evidence of changing views concerning the roles of dairying for women across Canadian provinces.

Mastitis is the inflammation of the mammary gland (Damron 685). It looks nothing like it should. Mastitis makes the milk very stringy and clumpy. It can be caused by many different things. Most common bacteria that causes mastitis are: Coagulase-negative staphylococci bacteria and Mycoplasma capricolum. Other things that can cause mastitis are yeast infections and frequent use of penicillin. Mastitis can be fatal if it is not treated.
