Egg size, number and shell quality |
 |
Egg shell breakage accounts for an approximate loss of 7 to 8% of the totaleggs laid. Because shell breakage is related to egg shell strength it is a key in decreasing the loss and maximize the economical return in egg production. Determination of egg and the formation of an egg shell occur with many different physiological processes taking place at the same time.

A word of warning this winter |
|
 |
|
Rumen acidosis is a major health problem in modern dairy farming. It causes decreased intake, poor digestion and production losses. Health costs will increase due to an increased risk of hoof problems and displaced abomasums.
The modern dairy cow that is managed for high production can suffer from rumen acidosis if the necessary precautions are ignored.
