A description of the Jamaica hope cattle?
Jamaica Hope cattle is a dairy breed that originates from Hope Farm in Jamaica. Breeding of this type of cattle started in 1910. It was actually an attempt to develop a breed that can adjust to the climate in the island. The cattle has high tolerance for heat, to ticks, and to tick-borne disease. It is also known as Jersey-Zebu or Montgomery-Jersey.
Which cattle breed is best for eating?
Angus cattle are rich in flavor, Hereford/Charolais crosses have a high quality marbling.
Why are jerseys the best cow?
No breed is the best. However Jerseys may be the "best" since they are the only dairy breed that produces high-butter fat milk.
Where in Australia are jersey cattle found?
Jersey cattle are a dairy breed that produces high quality milk (high in fat and protein)but lower quantities of milk compared to other breeds of dairy cow. Some Australian dairy herds include a few Jersey cows to improve overall milk quality. There are a very small number of specialty herds producing extra creamy milk that contain mostly Jersey cows. Dairy production in Australia is primarily in coastal areas where there is sufficient rainfall to produce the high quality pasture that dairy cows need. Dairying is mostly concentrated in Victorian and NSW coastal areas where the climate is suitable and the population is higher so there are good markets for fresh milk sales. In the more tropical areas it becomes too hot for efficient milk production by Jersey cows.
What caused your fingernails to turn orange?
Betacarotene found in fruits and vegetables can cause fingernails to turn orange when taken in high quantities.
What does the healthy cow eat?
This depends on your area and what type of cattle you are feeding. Beef and dairy cattle will eat different types of food as will mature bulls, yearlings, dry cows, and pregnant cattle. Dairy cattle are usually fed a TMR (Total Mixed Ration) consisting of soy beans, corn, and hay. Dairy calves are fed a calf starter ( a grain that is high in protein to aid growth and digestion). Yearlings will eat a corn mixture usually with oats to aid in healthy digestion and growth. Again, this changes for each location and what the farmer seems fit to feed the cattle. Growing feedlot beef cattle will eat a high energy corn for an increase of weight gain. Dry females and pregnant females will usually eat silage, insilage, some farmers will feed dry cattle a specific ration that costs more.
Which industries produce methane?
#1 is Cattle/Dairy (Cows actually belch a large amount of Methane when digesting). Natural gas "fracking" is also high on the list.
Are dairy products are high in carbohydrates?
no dairy products are not high in carbohydrates.
What is the importance of green fodder in dairy animals?
Fodder is just another term for forage or green silage. Silage is feed that is highly nutritious that dairy cattle need to produce milk and meet their maintenance needs as well. Dairy cattle have higher nutrient needs than most livestock except chickens and pigs, and this need must be met with green fodder or high quality forage in the form of silage and/or grain.
Why is the ability to clone cattle embryos so useful?
Mainly to copy a very high producing animal that is too old to breed or unable to breed. This is a very costly procedure, however, the end results will balance out.
Why are dairy farms and beef cattle ranching located in different areas?
Dairy cattle require more higher nutritive feeds than beef cattle do, and so need to be raised in an area where these higher nutritive feeds can be raised and fed to them. Dairy farms are located on or near the "corn belt" or an area of land on the North American continent where crops can grow and have high quantity and quality yields. Pastures in this area where some dairy farms allow their cows and heifers to graze during the summer months (or those months where grass grows the lushest) also need to have this high quantity and quality of grasses. The area also needs to be level and flat enough that barns and silos can be built and that are easily accessible to farm equipment used on the dairy farm. Beef cattle, on the other hand, are raised in areas where they are on pasture all the time and do not require much human input. Beef cattle can be raised in areas where dairy cattle are raised, or in much more rougher terrain like down in the desert of southern California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and West Texas. Beef cows have a much lower nutritive requirement to thrive and feed a calf than dairy cows do, and so are much more flexible where they can be raised.
