Overview

Pilot study investigates the relationship between behaviour and milk production in dairy cows, indicating welfare implications.

Key Points

  • The study aims to analyze how behavioral and physiological responses affect milk production in dairy cows.
  • Observed 50 cows over two days, focusing on behaviors during morning milking.
  • Measured physiological responses including rectal and vaginal temperatures, heart rate.
  • Utilized principal component analysis and linear regression to evaluate relationships with milk production.
  • Upright ear position was positively correlated with daily milk yields (r = 0.456, p = 0.001).
  • Milk yield negatively correlated with temperature-humidity index (r = −0.331, p = 0.02) and stress behaviors like kicking (r = −0.531, p < 0.001).
  • Positive correlation found between daily milk yields and body condition scores (r = 0.661, p < 0.001).
