Which is the best antibiotic for mastitis in dairy cattle?
It depends on how bad the mastitis is, when you milk her and only see a few "flakes" then apply a mint cream (such as, dynamint or udder comfort) after she has been thoroughly milked.
If when you milk her the milk looks like cottage cheese and the infected quarter is hard than you will need to treat her with an antibiotic that is inserted directly into the teat end. It is recommended that you talk to your veterinarian for the available antibiotics that are available in your area. You can also apply some mint cream as well as the antibiotic.
Hope that this helps, if you have any further questions let me know!

Yes, since 90% of the beef breeds used today are naturally horned, and yet no, because most beef cattle today are bred to be naturally polled, even though historically, their breeding depicts their ancestors to be horned. Horns are not needed in today's world because of the danger factor to both humans and other animals.
However, there are naturally polled beef breeds that exist including Black and Red Angus, Senepol, Black and Red Brangus, Galloway, Belted Galloway, British White, Speckle Park, and Red Poll.

Bulls are large dangerous animals that kill farmers each year. 3. Genetic improvement. Producing better offspring. 4. Synchronizing breeding Reasons for using AI in dairy cattle: 1.

Of course it is! They do it all the time!

How should dry milk be stored?
If the packet is unopened and kept out of sunlight, it will last almost indefinitely. (At least 4 years, most likely more.)

Once the dried milk has been rehydrated into milk, it will last approximately 3 days refrigerated.

Lactation period of cow and goat?
A dairy cow will lactate for about 10 months (~305 days) each year before having to be dried up prior to giving birth to her next calf, or until she loses productivity or dies of illness or natural causes. Dairy cows will typically be lactating for 10 months out of the year; some may go longer if they are continuously milked.
Beef cows, on the other hand, typically will lactate or give milk for 6 to 8 months (~205 to 265 days), sometimes up to 10, before they are weaned from their calves, or when the cows themselves decide to kick their calves off before giving birth to their next calf. For those producers who would rather let the cows wean their calves naturally (called natural weaning), the lactation or milking period typically lasts for around 10 months.
Of course lactation period for cows also depends on forage availability. Beef producers will wean calves early (often at around 3 to 4 months of age) if there's not enough feed or feed quality is too low to support lactating cows. This is a practice that is done often during periods of moderate to severe drought, when there often isn't enough grass or fodder to support the lactating beef herd. At this rate, calves are sold a bit earlier, or kept in a separate area to be fed until the actual sale time, allowing cows to dry up earlier and enabling them to be able to eat lower-quality feeds without compromising milking ability and the calves' reliance on their mothers' milk.
