Larger farms were greater users, as indicated by the higher percentages of milk production covered by the management practices relative to percentages of farms adopting, and significant Cows or Acres coefficients in the logit models.
For each of the breeding and/or biological technologies, usage was concentrated among larger-scale operations, as indicated by the higher percentages of milk production covered by the technologies relative to percentages of farms using them, and significant Cows or Acres coefficients in the logit models.
The effects of enzyme supplementation on milk production and composition were not statistically significant, but cows receiving the enzyme product added to the concentrate had a numerically higher FCM compared to the control cows.
When presented in this way, there was no significant difference in cow drinking behaviour or consumption from the two troughs, although there was some tendency for cows to drink more and spend more time drinking from the larger trough.
Initially the analysis was conducted on both bulls and cows, but no regions were found to be significant for the cows, possibly due to the narrow range in birth year of cows (Table 1) in comparison to the bulls.
He was 17 when he signed with the Dodgers in 1986 for a paltry $4,500, from which he made his first significant purchase, a cow.
We observed no significant interaction between cow genotype and concentrate CP level on any animal performance or NUE parameter.
The clustering of events within herds was accounted for by the random effect of herd which was significant in the cow model, with similar results from the different estimation procedures.
In MP cows, NEFA concentrations measured at wk -1 were a significant predictor for cows at higher risk of CE or SCE CEE: P = 0.05, SCE: P = 0.04) with lower concentrations in healthy cows.
Rauterberg & Talley (2017) develop a data set of "corporate opportunity waivers" (COWs) — significant contractual modifications of fiduciary duties — sampled from SEC filings.
