Sažetak
Precision dairy farming is one of the key themes which affects dairy farming in the world. The name precision dairy farming indicates the use of technologies for measuring physiological, behavioral, and production indicators on particular animals. There are several principal aims of precision dairy farming, such as maximizing animal performance, early detecting diseases in individual cows, early detecting herd level health and production problems, as well as minimizing the use of medication through preventive health measures. Some of the examples of precision dairy farming technologies are milk yield recording systems, milk component monitors, milk conductivity indicators, activity monitors, lying and rumination behaviour monitors, and heat detection monitors. For control and breeding of dairy herds, milk production features noted throughout the milk recording show meaningful information. With milk recording, farmers can control the situation by tracking their prime and worst animals. As a result, farmers can do selection, for instance: which cows don't give sufficient amount of milk and can be appropriate for slaughter or which cows are more suitable for breeding substitute. Besides, assessment of the impact of dairy farms on environmental pollution is possible using milk recording data. The object of this paper was to define the variability of milk urea, milk urea nitrogen, and ammonium emission from dairy Simmental and Holstein cows regarding months of milk recording through the precision farming methodology.
