  • Quebec has highest at 47.3%
  • Gets set by Canadian Milk Supply Management Committee (CMSMD)
  • Determined by: ~Previous demand
    ~Expected changes
    ~Projected Stocks
    ~Import commitments
    ~Export Obligations
23
Q

Provincial Milk Marketing Boards:

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Regulate fluid milk market
  • Buys milk from producer and sells to processors
  • Schedules transportation of all milk
  • Allocates quota for all producers
  • Fluid milk price set by Milk Prices Review Commission based on COP
  • Producers paid twice a month for delivery
24
Q

Quota:

Study These Flashcards
A

(# of cows x Kg of Milk/day) x BF% = Amount of quota required

  • Avg quota price in MB is $29,500/kg BF
25
Cytology of Cow:
Nucleus: Genetic info and control centre for cell, Makes up DNA Cytoplasm: Area outside nucleus, creates fatty acid synthesis Mitochondrium: Energy Liberating reactions Endoplasmatic reticulum: Synthesis of milk protein - Smooth ER leads milk to golgi Golgi Apparatus: Collection of milk protein before exocytosis - Lactose synthesis
26
Mammary gland anatomy:
- 4 separate glands - Each gland, 1 teat, 1 opening - Duct system - Blood vessels and capillaries - Ligaments - Secretory tissue - Connective tissue - Adipose tissue
27
Mammary Gland:
- Empty weight 10-25kg - Can contain up to 27kg of milk - Support by ligaments
28
Mammary Gland Ligaments:
- Median Suspensory ligaments, Primary support | - Lateral Suspensory Ligaments, Support interior of udder
29
Mammary Gland Duct System:
Alveolus - Lobules - Lobes- Gland cistern - Teat cistern
30
Teat Info:
- Has a canal - Lined with thick layer of cornfield epithelium - Keratin is vitally important in preventing the entrance of disease causing organisms - Made up of Skin, Streak Canal, Teat cistern and Gland Cistern - vacuum pressure on teat of 37-41Kpa
31
Milk Let-Down Formulation:
Stimulation = Nerve Impulse = Release of oxytocin to blood = Contraction of myoepithelial cells
32
Define: Pulsator Cycle: Pulsator Rate: Pulsation Ratio:
``` Cycle = Total time to complete one milk phase and one massage phase. Rate = Number of cycles that the pulsator makes in one minute. Ranging from 40-60 cycles per minute. Ratio = The length of time in each cycle that the pulsator is in its milk phase compared to the massage phase. 50:50, 60:40 or 70:30 ```
33
Cows Circulatory System:
1. Blood enters under from the external pudic arteries 2. These branch to form cranial and caudal mammy arteries 3. These branch into capillary system 4. Blood is picked up by veins 5. Blood returns to heart through veins
34
The Lymph system:
- Regulate fluid balance - Help immune system - Drained from tissue - Drains away from udder - Lacatating Cow = 2.6L/h of lymph
35
Udder Development:(Birth & Birth to Puberty)
At birth has; Gland cistern, Teat Cistern and Small duct system around gland cisern Birth - Puberty; Increase connective & adipose tissue - Limited glandular development - Regulated by~Thyroxin, growth hormone, corticosteroid hormones
36
Udder Development: (Puberty & Pregnancy)
Puberty: Development of duct system stimulated by estrogens Pregnancy: 1st 3 months= Increase of duct system 3 months onward= development of lobule-alveolar system stimulated by progesterone - By month 5 of pregnancy the lobular system is formed
37
"Drying Off"
- By discontinuing to milk - Approx 60 day prior to new calving - Involution: Degeneration and loss of secretory tissue - Myoepihelial and connective tissue remain - Regeneration of secretory tissue is needed to maximize milk yield
38
Prolactin (PRL) and what it does for Cows:
It is in synergy with: - Cortisol - Growth hormone - Thyroid hormone - Insulin Comes from adrenal pituitary gland and is stimulated by: - Milk removal - Suckling - Oxytocin
39
Lactation Curve:
- Peak Yield = 6-8weeks - 3rd parity usually the highest yielding - Rate of decline is approx 10%/month
40
Steps for Milk harvesting:
1. Pre hygiene - PreDip 2. Wipe with individual cloths/wipes 3. Fore-Strip, Take first milk check for mastitis 4. Milk 5. Make sure all quarters are milked out 6. Post dip entire Teat - Machine should attach within 60-90 seconds - Prepping should encourage cow to release her naturally occurring hormone (Oxytocin) allowing "Milk Let Down" to take place
41
Parlor (Barn) Designs:
- Herringbone (Popular) - Tandem or Side-open - Step up - Parallel - Rotary - Parabone - VMS
42
Parlor Summaries:
Herringbone: Most popular, Cows stand at angle, up to240 cows an hour can go through. Often no grain fed Tandem: Still popular, can be grain fed, not for large herds. 6-7 cows/stall/hour Step up: Earliest parlour designs, Saves bending, individual entry, and for small herds. Grain can be fed. Parallel: Cows stand at right angle, 4% improvement in labour efficiency over herringbone Rotary: Cows go one by one in stalls, The stalls then rotate around where prepping and milking is done, usually takes 16-18seconds per stall. VMS: Milking is done by machine, minimal labour required
