Published: July 2020

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar parámetros productivos y reproductivos y la asociación existente entre ellos, en dos biotipos Holstein con diferente potencial productivo. Se utilizaron registros retrospectivos de 1.315 vacas multíparas del biotipo Holstein ecuatoriano y 148 registros de Holstein puro, de 46 hatos ubicados en la provincia de Cotopaxi - Ecuador, recolectados en el periodo 1996 - 2015. Las vacas se agruparon en dos categorías: Holstein ecuatorianas (HE) y Holstein puras (HP) y se caracterizaron en función de la producción de leche ajusta a 305 días de lactancia en litros (PLA) y de los parámetros reproductivos: edad al primer parto en días (EPP), intervalo parto-concepción en días (IPC) y número de partos (NP). Los datos obtenidos se analizaron mediante regresión múltiple, considerando el coeficiente de bondad. No se encontró diferencias significativas en PLA, EPP, IPC y NP en los biotipos HE y HP. De acuerdo a la categoría de producción, el biotipo HE presentó una ligera superioridad (6.686,8 L/lactancia en PLA; la EPP está alejada de los 24 a 27 meses consideradas ideal y no muestra asociación con la PLA al igual que el IPC; el 12,5% y el 10% de la producción de leche dependen del número de partos y a partir del quinto parto, empieza a decrecer la producción de leche. El comportamiento de las variables estudiadas, se puede asumir a otros factores que están influyendo en el cumplimiento de parámetros y objetivos propios de otros sistemas y pone en discusión la necesidad de repensar metas y objetivos lecheros que permitan la sustentabilidad de las ganaderías.

ANALYSIS OF COMPANY PERFORMANCE AND AUDIT OPINIONS IN INDONESIAN FOOD AND BEVERAGES COMPANIES
Authors: Namira Febby , Bustaman Yosman
Published: July 2020

This paper analyzes relationship between company performance and audit opinion. We use some financial ratios as measurement of firm’s performance such as liquidity, efficiency, profitability, market measurement and cash flows. This study uses food and beverages companies listed in Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) for five consecutive years from 2009 until 2013 as our sample data. Panel data analyses are used to regress our empirical model. After controlling with size of company and macroeconomics variables namely inflation rate and movement of Indonesian currency exchange rate against US dollar, we find that firm’s liquidity, profitability, market ratios and company cash flow significantly affect the audit opinion. Large firm size does not influence the audit opinion significantly, meanwhile both macro economic variables inflation rate and exchange rate link negatively with audit opinion however do not significantly affect the opinion. Thin volume of transactions in foreign currency among these companies might lead to non-significant effect between audit opinion and exchange rate.

Authors: Maulana Andre , Sitepu Badikenita
Published: July 2020

Every retailers want to keep their customers from leaving the store. One of the conditions that can make customers leave the store is when they experience out of stock situation. Out of stock is a threat to all retailers, including in Giant Purwakarta. The existence of out of stock conditions can make consumers leave the store or stay in the store. The decision to stay or leave the store is influenced by the characteristics that the consumer have. This study examines how much influence of the customer’s characteristic to the customer response when Giant Purwakarta out of stock. The type of this research is descriptive quantitative by using Pearson Chi-Square formula to analyse the relationship between variables. The results show that there are three characteristics that have significant value with customer response. The three characteristics are: general time constraint, brand loyalty, and store loyalty. On the other hand, the three characteristics of consumers found have no significant value with customer response when Giant Purwakarta facing out of stock. The three irrelevant characteristics are: Store distance, store price, and shopping trip. These results suggest that loyalty and time to shop become the most influential factors on consumer decision making to leave the store or stay in the store when retail store facing out of stock condition.

We evaluate how the Indonesian stock market has reacted to the banking diversification revenue strategy in the period of 2009-2016. The market reactions are measured by the ratio of market equity capitalization to its book value equity (MB) and market viability or solvency is proxied by the bank’s market-based Z score. Using panel data regression, we find that the higher the level of diversification of bank revenue response positively by the market indicating by improving on banks’ capitalization ratio and market solvency. It shows that revenue diversification could produce a significant impact on bank profitability and reduce the probability of bank failure. Additionally, our results reveal that the larger size of the bank, the riskier the bank, however,these larger banks could achieve higher market equity capitalization that protects them from insolvency problems. Banks having large book equity capital response positively by the market, it indicates a positive relationship between this variable and Z score.
Phosphorus status of pastoral soils where reactive phosphate rock fertilisers have been used
Authors: Perrott K.W. , Kerr B.E. , Watkinson J.H. , Waller J.E.
Published: July 2020

The dissolution rate of Sechura phosphate rock (particle size 75-150 pm) was determined at 95 New Zealand sites with a range of soil and environmental properties. Rates ranged from 0 to 70% of the phosphate rock dissolved per year with an average dissolution rate of 3 1 %/year. An initial model based on stepwise linear regression analysis indicated that the rate of dissolution was negatively associated with soil pH and positively associated with rainfall and exchangeable soil magnesium. There was also an effect of soil type and drainage. The amount of residual RPR accumulated from previous fertiliser application can be determined by a new soil test. This, together with the dissolution rate estimated from the nature of the RF'R and the soil and site factors, can be used to indicate likely soil P status. Keywords: dissolution, fertiliser, phosphorus, reactive phosphate rock, soil test
Use of capital fertiliser and lime to improve pasture production in Northland
Authors: O'Connor M.B. , Hunt B.J.
Published: July 2020

Previous research in Northland identified the requirements for phosphate and lime in pasture development. Large capital inputs were necessary (1.8-2.0 t superphosphate and 2.5-5 t lime/ha in the first 12-18 months). More recently (1990-1993) three trials have been conducted on typical unimproved or improved hill country pasture in Northland to investigate lime (rates and frequencies) and phosphate (rates and forms) requirements. Results show that capital inputs of both fertiliser and lime are still very necessary in Northland. Marked responses occurred in the trials, with an average 40% increase to P and 16% increase to lime. The need for a soluble fertiliser like superphosphate was highlighted. In practice the aim must be to get as much of the potentially high producing land as possible into the soil test ranges for maximising pasture production. Improvement programmes need to be tailored to the individual farm. In dairying, improvement programmes can be completed relatively quickly (l-2 years) given the current economic situation, but in hill country the programme must of necessity be longer term (4-5 years). Emphasis must first be on developing the land with the highest potential. In time, areas with lower productive potential can also be considered for improvement, although alternative sustainable land use options should also be considered.

Nitrogen losses from grazed dairy pasture, as affected by nitrogen fertiliser application
Authors: Ledgard S.F. , Clark D.A. , Sprosen M.S. , Brier G.J. , Nemaia E.K.K.
Published: July 2020

Abstract Inputs and losses of nitrogen (N) were determined in dairy farmlets receiving nominally 0, 200 or 400 kg N/ha/yr as urea at Dairying Research Corporation No. 2 dairy, Hamilton. In year 1, N, fixation by white clover was estimated by r5N dilution at 212, 165 and 74 kg N/ha/yr in the 0, 200 and 400 N treatments respectively. Removal of N in milk was 76, 89 and 92 kg N/ha in the 0, 200 and 400 N farmlets respectively. Loss of N into the air by denitrification was low (6-15 kg N/ha/yr), and increased with N application. Ammonia loss into the air was estimated by micrometeorological mass balance at 15, 45 and 63 kg Nlhalyr in the 0, 200 and 400 N treatments respectively. Most of the increase in ammonia loss was attributed to direct loss after fertiliser application. Leaching of nitrate was estimated using ceramic cup samplers at 1 m soil depth, in conjunction with lysimeters, to be 74, 101 and 204 kg NlhaJyr during the second winter when rainfall and drainage (55@-620 mm) were relatively high. Nitrate-N concentrations in leachates increased gradually over time in the 400 N treatment to an average of 37 mg/l during the second winter, whereas the corresponding values for the 0 and 200 N treatments were 12 and 18 mg/l. Preliminary measurements of groundwater suggest that :ihe nitrate-N concentration is increasing under the 400 N farmlet relative to the other two farmlets. Thus, the 400 N treatment had a major effect by greatly reducing N, fixation and increasing N losses, whereas the 200 N treatment had relatively little effect on N, fixation or on nitrate leaching. However, these results refer to the first 18 months of the trial and further measurements are required over time to determine the longer-term effects of these treatments, particularly on nitrate levels in groundwater.

Farmer perspectives on sustainable farming
Authors: Cotman J.H.
Published: July 2020

Waikato Federated Farmers has recently taken a proactive role in land management issues which has involved developing for farmers an operational definition of sustainable farming and ways of promoting and demonstrating sustainable practices on farm. In partnership with AgResearch and Environment Waikato, the operational definition, management practices and user friendly indicators to aid monitoring were obtained, Sustainable farming recognises socio-economic goals of farmers (viable business, enjoyable lifestyle, good living standards, good short term profitability, satisfied farmers) and resource goals (efficient, contented animals, productive pasture, clean water, control of feral pests, unrestricted market access, adequate rural services, family heath). Grazing guidelines have been produced using the above information and on-farm study groups set up to demonstrate these practices in a whole-farm system. Userfriendly indicators have also been developed and are in use. Keywords: farming goals, guidelines, participatory process, sustainable farming

Heat stress in Northland cattle has been shown to be similar to tall fescue toxicosis as described in south-east USA, but incidence has not been correlated with the presence of tall fescue on farms. Tall fescue toxicosis results from grazing endophyte-infected tall fescue, and is caused by the alkaloid ergovaline. Cases are described of cattle suffering typical symptoms of ergovaline poisoning, though they had negligible access to tall fescue. Pasture surveys have shown ergovaline levels in ryegrass pastures to often be sufficient to cause toxicosis. Ambient temperatures interact with ingestion of toxin to cause heat stress. It is suggested that usual weather conditions in New Zealand temper the negative effects of the toxin. Higher temperatures increase the levels of ergovaline in pasture, and increase the sensitivity of livestock to it. Heat stress in North Island cattle probably usually results from the interaction of particular environmental conditions with the grazing of perennial ryegrass.

A decision support computer program for beef finishing, called BoVision, is described. It is based on biological models of animal and pasture growth, and is designed to assist the user in making strategic and tactical decisions about their beef finishing operation. Examples of its uses are to answer questions regarding profitability of l-year versus 2-year-old cattle policies, the optimum stocking rate, and the profitability of local trade versus prime versus bull beef. BoVision can also be used to evaluate premiums required for out-of-season beef, the economics of nitrogen use and supplementary feeding. It can also be used to perform sensitivity analyses. An important aspect of the program's development process was the involvement of a group of beef finishing farmers. The animal growth and pasture intake models used are presented. This paper backgrounds the program's development, and evaluates its use in predicting Angus steer performance for a trial conducted at Whatawhata Research Centre. Performance for a Friesian bull trial is also evaluated. Implications for BoVision's use on farms are discussed. Keywords: animal growth, beef finishing, computer model
Comparative studies on pasture and animal performance and parasite infestation in sheep grazing Yorkshire fog, perennial ryegrass and tall fescue pastures

The results are briefly reported of seven comparative studies on aspects of pasture and animal performance from pastures based on Yorkshire fog (Holcus Zanatus), perennial ryegrass (Lofiurn perenne) or tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) grown under adequate soil nutrient conditions (e.g., Olsen P 20-30 pg/g) and under continuous or rotational stocking by sheep. Pasture production, as measured by the stocking rate required to maintain specified sward conditions, was 2.5% greater on perennial ryegrass than on Yorkshire fog pastures, and 25% greater on Yorkshire fog than on tall fescue. Differences in liveweight gain and wool production in weaned lambs between pastures were relatively small and inconsistent, but levels of worm egg output were lower for lambs on Yorkshire fog than on tall fescue. The use of polyethylene glycol to bind condensed tannins reduced performance slightly in lambs on Yorkshire fog and tall fescue, but not those on perennial ryegrass.

Effect of summer moisture deficit on growth of five white clover cultivars
Authors: Wang X. , Caradus J.R. , Chu A.C.P.
Published: July 2020

Growth of five New Zealand white clover cultivars, Grasslands Kopu, Grasslands Pitau, Grasslands Huia, Grasslands Tahora and Prop, was quantified at differing soil moistures in both the field and the glasshouse. The first trial employed a rain-out shelter to impose two soil water treatments. While there were no differences among the cultivars for leaf water status, there were differences in plant growth parameters in response to water deficit. Water deficit did not significantly affect leaf appearance rate of Prop, although there was a 2- fold difference. There was, however, a 3.5- to 6-fold decrease in leaf appearance rate due to water deficit for the other cultivars. Water deficit did not significantly reduce leaf size for the medium- and small-leaved cultivars Huia, Tahora and Prop; but was halved for Kopu and Pitau. Prop had the lowest stolon growing point survival under water deficit and Pitau the highest. Leaf longevity was greatest for Prop and least for Pitau when grown under optimum water supply, but this pattern was reversed under water deficit stress. The second trial, a pot trial, investigated the response of the same five cultivars to three different soil water regimes (control, mild and severe stress). The growth parameters of smaller-leaved cultivars, particularly Prop, were less affected than the large-leaved cultivars in their response to water deficit. These short-term trials showed that some small-leaved cultivars of white clover have an ability to adjust their growth and habit in response to water deficit more effectively than large-leaved cultivars. Prop was able to maintain a higher leaf appearance rate than other cultivars when grown under water deficit. However, while exhibiting this drought tolerance adaptation the low stolon growing point survival of Prop could result in a poor recovery from drought. Small-leaved cultivars are rarely taprooted, a characteristic of plants adapted to more prolonged drought conditions. The probability of combining these characteristics and improving summer production of white clover through identification of drought tolerance is discussed.

Making sense of the link between tiller density and pasture production
Authors: Matthew C. , Hernandez-Garay A. , Hodgson J.
Published: July 2020

Interpretation of tiller or shoot density data requires resolution of two independent, confounding effects, namely size/density compensation and what is here called the "leaf area effect". Size/density compensation implies that at higher herbage mass, individual tillers or shoots are larger, but the population density is correspondingly decreased. The leaf area effect represents difference in sward leaf area for two tiller populations. Such leaf area differences may be environmentally or genetically determined, but must of necessity be expressed through change in tiller size and/or tiller density as "yield components" of leaf area. The theoretical basis for distinguishing between size/density compensation and the leaf area effect is to consider tiller or shoot density and herbage yield, respectively, as X,Y co-ordinates in a size/density plot. When such a plot is drawn on a logarithmic scale, points along a line of -l/2 slope show size/ density compensation with respect to each other. Movement of points to the right or left of the size/ density compensation line is evidence of a leaf area effect. It is shown that when the size/density effects are removed from a data set in this way, rankings of experimental treatments for the leaf area effect can often be reversed compared with the ranking of uncorrected tiller density. Tiller density data corrected for size/density compen-. sation in this way appear to be a useful indicator of sward productivity. Keywords: sizeldensity compensation, sward productivity, tiller density

This paper reports results of the first year of soil biochemical and microbiological monitoring programme carried out to establish "normal" ranges of values for these soil attributes. Study was conducted on 24 farm sites on yellow-brown loam soils around the Waikato area. Twelve dairy farms and a similar number of sheep-beef farms were selected on the basis of high productivity. Soil samples (0-75 mm depth) were collected at 3- monthly intervals and the following measurements were carried out: soil microbial- C, N, S and P, CO2 evolution, substrate-induced respiration, anaerobic mineralisable N, dehydrogenase activity, fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolysis, amounts of soluble-C and N, extractable NO3 and NH4, soil pH, Olsen P, KH2PO4 extractable SO4-S and organic S, and hydraulic conductivity. Climatic data, records of fertiliser and other additives and productivity were also collected to interpret the variations in these properties. Variables measured from the Horotiu and Tirau silt loam soils showed considerable similarity, however, Otorohanga soils had significantly higher amounts of total and extractable soil C and N. As expected, being a higher input system, soil nutrient status (P, SO4, NO3 and NH4) on dairy farms was generally higher than the sheep-beef farms. The most significant difference was for the Olsen P values, which were about 60-70% higher under dairying. Soil pH on dairy farms was significantly higher than sheep- beef farms. However, total C and N values were significantly higher under sheep-beef than dairy farms. Similarly, the amounts of mineralisable N in all seasons were much higher for the sheep-beef than dairy farms. Apart from total microbial S, none of the other microbial biomass measurements showed any significant effect of season or difference among the soil types. This lack of seasonal effect on microbial biomass can be attributed to the unusual mild seasonal variation during the study. For the various microbial biomass measurements, sheep-beef farms generally had significantly higher values than dairy farms. Microbial C, N, SO4 and total S values were significantly higher for sheep-beef than dairying. The ratios between soil C, N to microbial C, N and microbial C:N showed no consistent pattern between the farm types.
