Around the world of dairy Dairy Shrine fetes Progressive Producers TWO outstanding dairy operations have been selected to receive the National Dairy Shrine’s prestigious Progressive Dairy Producer Award for 2011. The honor is bestowed on herds utilizing progressive management practices to optimize their operations with a proven track record of continuous improvement. The award includes a $2,000 continuing education grant. In the 300-and-under category, Charles and Robyn Krause, Heat detection... now it’s almost this easy to fi nd them. Toll free: 877.WS.DAIRY USA: www.gea-farmtechnologies.us Canada: www.gea-farmtechnologies.ca ©2011 GEA Farm Technologies, Inc. All rights reserved. Circle No. 26 on Reader Response Card Krause Holsteins, Buffalo, Minn., are being honored. A passionate spokesperson for the dairy industry, Charles Krause, a managing partner, says that animal care takes priority on their farm. “From the minute a calf arrives on our farm to her last day on earth, the welfare of each individual animal is of utmost importance,” he noted. Their 165-head grade and registered Holstein herd boasts current milk production per cow averages of 26,426 pounds milk, 926 pounds fat, 782 pounds protein, with 2-year-olds peaking at 94 pounds per day, and second-and-greater-lactation cows peaking at 117 pounds. The farm is owned and operated by Charles and Robyn Krause, and Charles’ parents, Warren and Carol. Fast, accurate, breeding information whenever you need it. Here’s the easy way to identify cows and heifers that are ready to breed. Activity monitors from GEA Farm Technologies automatically and accurately detect activity in 2-hour intervals. When linked to DairyPlan C21 software, this new monitoring system allows you to improve pregnancy rates as you save on time, labor and the cost of wasted breedings. This technology also detects inactive cows, helping you identify potentially sick or lame cows sooner. Activity monitors are available in leg or neck versions. GEA Farm Technologies GEA Milking & Cooling | WestfaliaSurge GEA Farm Technologies The right choice. They are assisted by Charles and Robyn’s children, Andrew and Morgan. Besides the dairy herd, 475 acres are operated to meet all feed needs. Cows are housed in a free stall barn, with a small compost barn for special-needs cows. Upon graduation from the University of Minnesota in 1991 with an animal science degree, Charles Krause made effective, successful changes to the farm, coupled with gradual herd growth. A snapshot of these improvements include a new double-8 parallel parlor, as well as a new heifer shed. The Krauses also pride themselves on finding efficient ways to keep production costs low. These measures include growing all of their feed, maximizing manure use as a fertilizer, and taking adult farm management courses to keep them on track for the future. Located just one hour from the Twin Cities, they often host local and international groups while also being spokespeople for the industry throughout the state. Recognized in the 300-and- over category are Martin and Mike Burken of Blue Hyll Dairy, Clinton, Iowa. Attention to detail, monitoring, and measuring are part of the brothers’ daily activities. The two formed an LLC in 1999. Seeking to divide responsibilities, today Martin manages the 774-head dairy operation, while Mike manages the 3,500-acre cropping enterprise. The current herd size was reached through gradual expansion. Cows are housed in a six-row free stall barn and milked in a double-12 parlor. The rolling herd average currently stands at 23,685 pounds. While Martin manages the dairy, he credits his dad for helping with whatever needs to be done. Martin’s wife, Lisa, and their children, Hannah, Haley, and Hillary, are engaged in the farm, as well. Martin says one of their first priorities is milk quality. The dairy maintains a high standard for bacteria, somatic cell, and PI counts. He also utilizes PC Dart software to closely monitor the progress of his herd. The farm developed its own benchmark to determine the cost of freshening a cow into the milking string. On a monthly basis, they calculate the dollar amount that is spent on fresh cow problems to dictate any changes in cow care. Martin says that, when it’s costly to freshen cows, they have lengthened the voluntary waiting period to give these cows a little extra time. Lastly, Martin says that, as their herd expanded, accurate records and the use of good genetics has been the key. “My intention is to improve genetics and, hopefully, have more progeny that can improve the overall genetics of my herd and possibly improve the entire breed.”
Heat That Can’t Be Ignored The luteolytic action of Estrumate can be utilized to manipulate the estrous cycle to better fit certain management practices, terminate pregnancies resulting from mismatings, and to treat certain conditions associated with prolonged luteal function. Cloprostenol sodium, the active ingredient in Estrumate, is the only ACTION: prostaglandin approved for controlled breeding in lactating dairy cows. Ask your veterinarian about Estrumate today. Estrumate ® (cloprostenol sodium) is a synthetic prostaglandin analogue structurally related to prostaglandin F2 α (PGF2 α). Each mL of the colorless aqueous solution contains 263 mcg of cloprostenol sodium (equivalent to 250 mcg of cloprostenol) in a sodium citrate, anhydrous citric acid and sodium chloride buffer containing 0.1% w/v chlorocresol BP as a bactericide. pH is adjusted, as necessary, with sodium hydroxide or citric acid. Estrumate ® (cloprostenol sodium) Prostaglandin Analogue for Cattle Equivalent to 250 mcg cloprostenol/mL Estrumate causes functional and morphological regression of the corpus luteum (luteolysis) in cattle. In normal, nonpregnant cycling animals, this effect on the life span of the corpus luteum usually results in estrus 2 to 5 days after treatment. In animals with prolonged luteal function (pyometra, mummified fetus, and luteal cysts), the induced luteolysis usually results in resolution of the condition and return to cyclicity. Pregnant animals may abort depending on the stage of gestation. INDICATIONS: For intramuscular use to induce luteolysis in beef and dairy cattle. The luteolytic action of Estrumate can be utilized to manipulate the estrous cycle to better fit certain management practices, to terminate pregnancies resulting from mismatings, and to treat certain conditions associated with prolonged luteal function. RECOMMENDED USES: At 50 and 100 times the recommended dose, mild side effects may be detected in some Unobserved or nondetected estrus Cows which are not detected in estrus, although ovarian cyclicity continues, can be treated with Estrumate if a mature corpus luteum is present. Estrus is expected to occur 2 to cattle; these include increased uneasiness, slight frothing, and milk let-down. For complete 5 days following injection, at which time animals may be inseminated. Treated cattle should be inseminated at the usual time following detection of estrus. If estrous detection is not desirable or possible, treated animals may be inseminated twice at about 72 and information on use, withdrawal period, contraindication, adverse reactions, refer to product package insert on adjacent page. 556 Morris Avenue • Summit, NJ 07901 • merck-animal-health-usa.com • 800-521-5767 • 7/11 BV-EST-43562 96 hours postinjection. Pyometra or Chronic Endometritis Damage to the reproductive tract at calving or postpartum retention of the placenta often leads to infection and inflammation of the uterus (endometritis). Under certain circumstances, this may progress into chronic endometritis with the uterus becoming distended with purulent matter. This condition, commonly referred to as pyometra, is characterized by a lack of cyclical estrous behavior and the presence of a persistent corpus luteum. Induction of luteolysis with Estrumate usually results in evacuation of the uterus and a return to normal cyclical activity within 14 days after treatment. After 14 days posttreatment, recovery rate of treated animals will not be different than that of untreated cattle. Mummified Fetus Death of the conceptus during gestation may be followed by its degeneration and dehydration. Induction of luteolysis with Estrumate usually results in expulsion of the mummified fetus from the uterus. (Manual assistance may be necessary to remove the fetus from the vagina). Normal cyclical activity usually follows. Luteal Cysts A cow may be noncyclic due to the presence of a luteal cyst (a single, anovulatory follicle with a thickened wall which is accompanied by no external signs and by no changes in palpable consistency of the uterus). Treatment with Estrumate can restore normal ovarian activity by causing regression of the luteal cyst. Pregnancies from Mismating Unwanted pregnancies can be safely and efficiently terminated from 1 week after mating until about 5 months of gestation. The induced abortion is normally uncomplicated and the fetus and placenta are usually expelled about 4 to 5 days after the injection with the reproductive tract returning to normal soon after the abortion. The ability of Estrumate to induce abortion decreases beyond the fifth month of gestation while the risk of dystocia and its consequences increases. Estrumate has not been sufficiently tested under feedlot conditions; therefore, recommendations cannot be made for its use in heifers placed in feedlots. Controlled Breeding The luteolytic action of Estrumate can be utilized to schedule estrus and ovulation for an individual cycling animal or a group of animals. This allows control of the time at which cycling cows or heifers can be bred. Estrumate can be incorporated into a controlled breeding program by the following methods: 1. Single Estrumate injection: Only animals with a mature corpus luteum should be treated to obtain maximum response to the single injection. However, not all cycling cattle 2. Double Estrumate injections: prior to treatment, cattle should be examined found to be anatomically normal, nonpregnant, and cycling (the presence o corpus luteum is not necessary when the first injection of a double injection given). A second injection should be given 11 days after the first injection cycling cattle, estrus is expected 2 to 5 days following the second injection. Tr should be inseminated at the usual time following detection of estrus. If estrou is not desirable or possible, treated animals may be inseminated either on 72 hours or twice at about 72 and 96 hours following the second Estrumate i Many animals will come into estrus following the first injection; these anim inseminated at the usual time following detected estrus.
