Heat Detection in
Free-Style Systems
673
Most dairymen who have had
experience with both types of
dairy housing agree that the
problem of detecting cows in heat
is more difficult in a free-stall
system than in conventional
housing. This is not surprising if
we think about the activity of
cows under the two conditions.
Cows that are confined in
stanchions for a period of several
hours, than turned out to pasture
or into an exercise lot will
probably show any tendency to
mount and stand soon after they
are turned out. If these same
cows are allowed to run loose 24
hours a day, any mounting
standing activity will occur over
a long period of time. A person
can observe them for 20 minutes
and not see any sign of heat, even
though one or more cows may
actually be in heat. This is
especially true if they are ob
served at feeding time, milking
time, or when most of the cows
are lying down.

Here are a few tips from
Harvey Stauffer, Penn State, that
might improve the accuracy of
heat detection in free-stall
systems:
654
653
652
Make on person responsible
for heat detection - then allow
him sufficient time (e.g. one hour
per day) to do the job. Others who
see signs of heat should report
them to the man responsible.
652
650
649
Three heat observations
should be scheduled each day -
morning, afternoon and late
648
641
evening,
Schedule these heat ob
servations when cows have
nothing to do. Avoid feeding time
and milking time.
645
643
Walk quietly among the
cows. Get all of them up and out
of the stalls.
642
639
Keep a record of all heat
periods. Know when to expect
each cow to return in heat.
Many dairymen report
seeing more cows in heat during
the late evening (just before bed
time) than at any other time.
638
637
A Second Chance
636
About a year ago I wrote a
short article on participating in
dairy shows, field days and other
educational, informative and
always enjoyable events related
to the dairy industry.
Okay, the season is here once
again. Already many of the local
events have passed. Can you
count yourself among the
present? Fear not, there is still
time to make your mark this
year.
636
636
635
635
615
634
634
Remember, you are
representing the largest
agricultural industry in the
county. The dairy industry is
more than just cows, barns and
dairymen. The dairy industry is
also kids, politicians and the all
important family purchasing
agent, the housewife.
So participate in your industry _
events and sell yourself and your
industry and enjoy yourself.
