20.500.12556/RUL-135311 Animal health in compost-bedded pack and cubicle dairy barns in six European countries The purpose of this study was to compare animal health in compost-bedded pack (CBP) and cubicle housing (CH) systems using data from dairy herd improvement associations. Thirty-two commercial dairy farms located in Austria, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Slovenia, and Sweden were included in the study. A matching design (pairing CBP and CH within country) according to herd selection criteria was used. We explored the following health indicators: somatic cell counts (SCC), high SCC, new high SCC, ketosis risk, prolonged calving intervals, dystocia, and stillbirth. Traits for culling and culling-related issues, such as length of life and length of productive life, were also included. We used multivariable (mixed) linear and logistic regression models to evaluate differences between the systems. Udder health, as measured by SCC, was inferior in CBP, although the geometric means were low in both systems. The incidence of stillbirths was higher in CBP, while prolonged calving intervals were fewer, indicating that there were fewer reproductive disorders. There were no differences in longevity between the systems, although CBP had lower proportions of first calvers. Overall, we conclude that there were few and minor differences in health and longevity between the CBP and CH systems in the European context. dairy cattle housing system management health traits disease incidence mastitis longevity govedoreja krave molznice uhlevitev nastil kompostni hlev prosta reja EU true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-03-07 14:48:29 2022-03-07 14:48:30 2022-09-14 04:12:43 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 9 str. iss. 3, art. 396 Vol. 12 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 636.2 2076-2615 10.3390/ani12030396 96726787 RAZ_Emanuelson_Ulf_2022.pdf RAZ_Emanuelson_Ulf_2022.pdf 1 4339134566FA1D0ECB617186925588F1 0052f02830b41a5d73eac1db99909dbea8a98095a9b8fc3c65468441b3bb3de0 7468bb7c-9e1e-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=154313 https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/12/3/396 1 fed6931b-9e1c-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=154310 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
