9781528496070 - Relation of Production to Income From Dairy Cows (Classic Reprint) de McDowell, J. C. (1 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book thoroughly investigates the relationship between a dairy cowâs productivity and the income earned by its owner. Analyzing data from 96 cow-testing associations and thousands of individual records, the author provides a comprehensive insight into this crucial aspect of dairy farming. The book unveils a consistent pattern: higher milk and butterfat production lead to a substantial increase in income over feed costs. As production rises from 100 to 400 pounds of butterfat, income over feed costs increases by a remarkable $16 for every 50-pound increment. This trend holds true regardless of factors such as breed, age, or location. The author emphasizes that these findings are not limited to exceptionally high-producing herds. Even moderate increases in production yield significant financial benefits. The book also highlights the role of efficient feeding practices, demonstrating that cows are rarely overfed beyond the point of diminishing returns. Ultimately, this book is a valuable resource for dairy farmers seeking to understand and maximize the earning potential of their herds. The insights presented help quantify the impact of production on profitability, providing a solid foundation for informed decision-making and improved farm management.
