Research on the Milk Production Performance of Biological Material Raised and Exploited in Two Farm from Cluj County

Abstract

SUMMARY This research work was conducted on a total of 305 heads of cow in lactation which realizated 971 lactations; its purpose is to highli ght the main requirements and features for breeding and milk production in the particular case of the cattle population reared on the two farms of Viisoara, while pointing out the opportuni ties for technology optimization and service growth. S.C. Ada Prodcom SRL and S.C. Nora Ly SRL are a cattle breeding farms and cattle operation center, located in Cluj County , the Viisoara area ‐ suburban common of Campia-Turzii City. In order to present the main indices of milk produc tion for cattle population on the both farms as well as adopt the most appropriate im proving system and the most suitable exploiting technologies, we used the entire existin g herd of cows in the unit at that time. In this context, we sought to establish age at first c alving, gestation length, total lactation period, normal lactation period, the main features of quali tative and quantitative, total and normal lactation milk production (lactation period, milk p roduction, fat percentage, protein percentage, total fat and protein), and also mammar y repose and the main breeding features. The results obtained provide an efficient and accur ate characterization of the entire population; using these results as a starting point , we may determine and propose solutions regarding the improvement of cattle population on S C Ada Prodcom SRL and S.C. Nora Ly SRL holding and accordingly establish a strategy. S ummarizing the main indices of breeding and production on the entire population and the num ber of concluded lactates, we may describe the cattle population exploited for milk p roduction in SC Ada Prodcom SRL farm and S.C. Nora Ly SRL by the following: age of first calving performed on average 33 months, respectively 40 months; service period is regularly averaged 90 days; regarding the average yield per normal lactation at farm level, 5217±42.6 0 kilograms with 3.77% fat and 3.07% protein for SC Ada Prodcom farm; and 5011,65±90,63 kilograms with 3.95% fat and 3.27% protein for SC Nora Ly SRL farm, with individual production exceeding 10000 kg milk in both farms, are values which establish the populati on studied among the most valuable of Cluj county and surroundings. In this respect, the main productive traits established emphasize the level of production performances obtained at presen t and allow the drafting of technical and organizational solutions leading to superior zoo-ec onomical indices.
