Dairy Cow Daily Time Budget as an Indicator of Welfare, Health and Biosecurity
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
Dairy cows need to be provided certain environmental requirements to support their natural behaviour, well-being, optimal productivity, fertility and health. The housing environment must provide each cow with unhindered access to feed, water, and a comfortable resting area. The interactions among feeding, resting and rumination are critical to the cow comfort. A free-stall housed dairy cow has six key daily activities. She needs time for eating, lying and resting, social interaction, ruminating, drinking and time spending outside the pens included milking. The aim of the study was to determine dairy cows' daily time budget during the one year monitoring. We analysed 24-hour basic daily activities collected from 96 dairy cows housed in three free stall barns in three farms. The observed parameters were evaluated by Statistica software (non-parametric tests). During our monitoring we found the following structure of daily activities: eating 4-5 hours/day (range 3-6) (obviously from 9 to 14 meals/day), lying and resting in the boxes 12.6 hours/day (range 12 to 14), spent 2.4 hours/day (range 2 - 3) in social interaction, ruminate (in standing and lying position) 8.2 hours/day (range 7 - 10), drinking 0.5 hour/ day (range 0.2 - 1.5) and 2.6 hours/day (range 2.5 - 3.5) spending outside the pen for travel to and from the parlour, milking. Cows housed in free stall facilities on concrete floors require a minimum of 12 hour/day of rest in a comfortable stall. When their time budget is challenged through increased time out of the pen milking, overstocking, poor stall design, heat stress and prolonged
