| description | <b>Aim: </b>This research was carried out to evaluate the effect of using
different quality bedding materials on milk yields of dairy cows.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> The study material consisted of 92 head
Holstein breed dairy cows of different ages and milk and video recordings
of these cows for 365 days. In the study, 3 different types
of bedding materials were used. These are grouped as type 1 (mattress),
type 2 (mat) and type 3 (rubber mat). There is a minimum of
30 cows in each group.<p>
<b>Results:</b> As a result of the research; It was found that milk yield was
higher in mattress bed material of cows raised in free stall barns,
while lying time was longer in mat bedding material.<p>
<b>Conclusion: </b>It uses many different products (straw, straw, concrete,
sand, mat, matress, etc.) as bedding material in animal husbandry
enterprises. Animals prefer softer, dry and comfortable areas to rest
and lie down. Increasing rest and lying times affects milk yield positively
and increases yield. Therefore, it is important in terms of productivity
that enterprises provide animals with a comfortable and
comfortable space. Considering all these, it is recommended to use
mattress beds in enterprises. |
