A Dairy farm is a farm where the main aim of the enterprise is the production of milk. Dairy does not specifically refer to cattle, a dairy could also milk goats, sheep, c … amels or any other mammal that lactates.", "An important part of the dairy industry is the removal of the calves off the mother’s milk after the three days of needed colostrum, allowing for the collection of the milk produced. On some dairies, in order for this to take place, the calves are fed milk replacer, a substitute for the whole milk produced by the cow. Dairy farming is also an important industry in Florida, Minnesota, Ohio and Vermont. There are 65,000 dairy farms in the United States. Pennsylvania has 8,500 farms with 555,000 dairy cows.

Today, the bovine industry is more specialized and most dairy cattle have been bred to produce large volumes of milk", "Housing.

Dairy cow farming means ‘raising highly milk productive cows commercially for milk production purpose’. It’s absolutely a part of agriculture or animal husbandry, enterprise for long term milk production from cows. Commercial dairy cow farming business is not a new idea.

This means (1) the heifers will not produce milk before they are three years old, and (2) that if you have ten cows between 3 and 9‰ years of age, you will be replacing nearly one and a half a year (10 cows divided by 6‰ years). Dairy cattle husbandry 62 High milk production is nice, but a low calving interval counts too ! Betty produces the 3240 litres in 3 years, but if she had a lower calv-ing interval her average daily milk production would increase greatly.

Pasture-raised animals roam freely in their natural environment where they're able to eat nutritious grasses and other plants that their bodies are adapted to digest.

Fatty acids with an unsaturated tail (blue) disrupt the packing of those with only saturated tails (black).", "In chemistry, particularly in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have a chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 12 to 28. Fatty acids are usually derived from triglycerides or phospholipids. When they are not attached to other molecules, they are known as free fatty acids. Fatty acids are important sources of fuel because, when metabolized, they yield large quantities of ATP. Thus, saturated fatty acids are saturated with hydrogen (since double bonds reduce the number of hydrogens on each carbon). Because saturated fatty acids have only single bonds, each carbon atom within the chain has 2 hydrogen atoms (except for the omega carbon at the end that has 3 hydrogens).", "The nomenclature of a fatty acid is derived from the name of its parent hydrocarbon by substituting the final e with an oic (i.e., the C 18 saturated fatty acid is called octadecanoic acid because its parent hydrocarbon is called octadecane). In nature, most fatty acids exist as straight-chain hydrocarbons that attach to a carboxylic acid with the most frequent and even number of carbon atoms.
