Drying-off practices on Swiss dairy farms: Status quo and adoption potential of integrating incomplete milking

Abstract: Drying-off practices to reduce milk production before dry-off are gaining attention because high milk yields at dry-off are becoming more common and increase the risk to cow health and welfare during the dry period. Incomplete milking for the last days before dry-off is one approach for reducing milk production. We conducted an online survey to determine the currently used drying-off practices on Swiss dairy farms and to identify the adoption potential of integrating incomplete milking before dry-off. In March… Show more

“…A future reassessment of the bovine neosporosis seroprevalence should consider the herein reported seroprevalence and adjust the sample size accordingly. Although the response rate of the questionnaire (53.4%, n = 161) was acceptable when compared to other survey studies on cattle farming practices: 27%, n = 1,974 ( 40 ) and 28.3%, n = 1,835 ( 41 ), a clear limitation in the risk factor analysis was posed by the highly heterogeneous answers. In addition, the interpretation of the free answers (as most could not be categorized) and the incomplete filling of the form decreased the power of the analysis.…”

“…Der Anteil der Betriebe, die Zitzenversiegler anwenden, ist in unserer Studie mit rund 77 % vergleichsweise hoch. In anderen Umfragen konnte herausgearbeitet werden, dass zwischen 33 % und 66 % der Landwirte interne Zitzenversiegler nutzen [26,32]. Bach et al [32] konnten zusätzlich bei 4,2 % (n = 20 von 471) der befragten Betriebe erfragen, dass ein externer Versiegler genutzt wurde.…”

Bach et al [32] konnten zusätzlich bei 4,2 % (n = 20 von 471) der befragten Betriebe erfragen, dass ein externer Versiegler genutzt wurde. Damit liegen die hier ermittelten Zahlen im Mittel bei denen anderer Erhebungen, während der Anteil an Betrieben, die ausschließlich extern versiegeln, geringer ist.…”
