“…In agreement with our results, previous studies carried out both in Mexico (Carranza-Trinidad et al 2007;García-Muñiz et al, 2007;Romo-Bacco et al, 2014) and worldwide (Allore et al, 1997;Weersink and Tauer, 1991;Simensen et al, 2010;Dong et al, 2016;Gargiulo et al, 2018), suggest that milk production and farm productivity increase as the herd size increases associated with a higher technological level in larger companies. In addition, previous reports (Allore et al, 1997;Oleggini et al, 2001) described that larger size herds had not only higher MY, but higher fat and protein contents in milk.…”

Animal production systems and agribusinessFull-length research article Effect of milking hygiene, herd size, water hardness and temperaturehumidity index on milk quality of dairy farms ABSTRACT -The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of milking hygiene practices, herd size, water hardness, and temperature-humidity index (THI) on the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of raw milk, and standard plate count (SPC) in milking machines of dairy farms in the central region of Mexico. Data were collected from fifty-three dairy farms during one year. The evaluated effects included milking hygiene conditions (good, medium, poor), herd size (1-50, 51-100, 101-150, ≥151 heads), water hardness (soft or moderately hard), and THI (comfortable or stressful). The increase in milking hygiene produced greater milk yield (MY) and energy corrected milk (ECM) but lower protein content, and decreased the individual bacterial count (IBC) and somatic cell count (SCC). The MY, ECM, protein content, IBC, and SCC were higher on bigger farms. The use of soft water reduced MY, IBC, and SCC, but improved fat, lactose, total solids (TS), and non-fat solids (NFS). Heat stress negatively affected fat, protein, TS, NFS, acidity, freezing point (FP), SCC, and methylene blue dye reduction test. Poor milking hygiene contributes to higher SPC in milking machine parts. Water hardness and THI did not affect SPC in all milking machine parts. Proper milking hygiene practices, larger herd size, softer water, lower THI, and adequate cleaning and disinfection of the milking machine parts benefits the physicochemical and microbiological quality of the milk.

“…Bajo este enfoque, la familia representa la principal fuerza de trabajo como lo ha identificado Romo-Bacco et al (2014). El mismo autor, resalta que la eficiencia económica de las UP se relaciona con la experiencia del ganadero y con la antigüedad de la UP como sucede en DPT.…”

“…La edad del ganadero, superior a 60 años, de acuerdo con García-Martínez et al (2011) y Vilaboa y Díaz (2009), se relaciona con bajo nivel de estudios y reducido relevo generacional. Esta situación puede comprometer la continuidad de la UP debido a que los descendientes tienen mejores oportunidades de trabajo en otras actividades económicas (Romo-Bacco et al, 2014). Sin embargo, la contribución del trabajo familiar favorece su permanencia en la actividad (Nájera-Garduño et al, 2016) y genera mayor beneficio económico para la UP (Posadas-Domínguez et al, 2013).…”

“…Con relación a la venta de animales, los precios pagados al productor son inestables y varían por la influencia de intermediarios y mercados informales (Romo-Bacco et al, 2014). Los precios de venta fueron: $1.49 ± 0.03 USD kg -1 (210.2 ± 12.4 kg de peso vivo) para becerros, $2.77 ± 0.04 USD kg -1 para animales engordados (canal caliente de 220.1 ± 8.5 kg), de $826.89 ± 154.54 USD por macho o hembra para reposición y $345.10 ± 14.73 USD por vaca de desecho ($1.06 USD kg -1 ).…”

“…El MN de la ganadería en total fue de $23.54 ± 3.45 USD, $13.60 ± 3.79 USD y $4.22 ± 1.13 USD día -1 , respectivamente para DPL, DPT y DPC. No se observaron diferencias (P>0.05), aunque Romo-Bacco et al (2014) resaltan que existen brechas económicas debido al tamaño de la UP. En el beneficio por venta de ganado se obtuvo un MN de $11.8 ± 2.5 USD, $11.3 ± 3.5 USD y $4.2 ± 1.1 USD día -1 (P>0.05), respectivamente para cada grupo.…”

Background. The dual-purpose production system is a major economic activity in rural areas due to the income generated from milk and meat sales. Objective. The aim was to conduct an economic analysis of three groups of dual-purpose production units. Methodology. The groups w: i. MIDP; with greater orientation to milk production; ii. TDP or traditional dual purpose and iii. MEDP that only produce meat. The information was obtained during 2015 by technical-economic assessment of 67 farms in the central highlands of Mexico. The partial budget methodology, and variance analysis (P<0.05) for economic and management indicators with normal distribution and Kruscal Wallis test (P<0.05) on the variables without normal distribution or expressed as a percentage were used. Also, a Student's t test was performed for the variables related to milk production only for MIDP and TDP groups. Results. Differences (P<0.05) between groups were observed in the labor available and agricultural area, values that were greater in MIDP, as well as the forage area in meat DP group. It was observed that MIDP are PU of recent creation, medium size (24.50 ± 5.72 cows) and contract labor; the TDP are old PU with older farmers and medium size to (26.1 3.70 ± 3.70 cows) and, meat DP group are old and small PU (15.20 ± 2.52 cows), with young farmers and family labor. Equally differences (P<0.05) between groups were observed in the total net margin for milk and cattle sales and in the unit net margin (ha and cow). In both cases, profits were greater in MIDP. Implications. The work contributed to the understanding of the dual-purpose livestock guidelines and their development based on the productive orientation. Conclusion. It concluded that milk production generates greatest economic profit and the activity it postulated as a development alternative, although number of PU is small and the traditional dual-purpose system is maintained in a stable economy activity. In counterpart, the meat production system presents greater economic instability and less development for the lowest profit margins.
