▼ The objective of this dissertation was to examine associations of lameness and health disorders with milk production and behavior of cows in herds with automated (robotic) milking systems (AMS). The first study was focused on lameness and examining herd- and cow-level factors associated with lameness, productivity, and behavior. At the herd level, the two main factors associated with productivity and behavior were lameness prevalence and stocking density. The prevalence of lameness (either clinical or severe) was negatively associated with environmental temperature and the frequency of manure alley scraping, and was positively associated with stocking density and curb height of lying stalls. At the cow level, factors associated with lameness were lower body condition, higher parity, and lower environmental temperature. When accounting for other cow-level factors, lame cows produced less milk in fewer milkings each day, were more likely to be fetched, and spent more time lying down in bouts which were longer, compared to non-lame cows. In a second study, cows were monitored longitudinally and data were analyzed retrospectively relative to the day diagnosis of multiple health disorders; deviations in productivity, body weight, rumination time, and a commercial measure of activity occurred several days to 2 wk before diagnosis. In the final study, a larger sample of cows were similarly monitored in terms of behavior, production, and health status. Acute health disorders were associated with noticeable deviations from those cows’ baseline AMS data occurring 4 to 12 d before diagnosis, and rumination time often declined 1 d prior to milk yield. More chronic, state-like disorders were associated with significant, but subtle, longer-term changes in productivity and behavior. In summary, this dissertation provides evidence that the behavior and productivity of cows in AMS herds differ between healthy cows and those afflicted with lameness and health disorders. These data provide much-needed information to inform the development and validation of AMS-specific alerts for lameness and health disorders. Advisors/Committee Members: DeVries, Trevor (advisor).

▼ The objective of this dissertation was to investigate the emergence and persistence of feeding behaviour patterns in dairy calves. A first study revealed that calves sorted mixed rations for familiar feeds initially after weaning, but that sorting patterns became similar over time. Subsequently, feed presentation was found to affect sorting, with calves previously offered hay and concentrate as a mixture, rather than separately, sorting for concentrate to a greater extent after weaning. The effect of feed form on sorting was then investigated. Calves offered a pre-weaning ration containing concentrate and finely ground hay, in comparison to coarsely chopped hay, sorted in favor of concentrate to a greater extent and maintained increased sorting behaviour after weaning. Thus, opportunity to sort feed early in life influenced the degree, but not the pattern, of feed sorting after weaning. In further studies, the effects of management factors on development of feeding patterns were assessed. Milk feeding level influenced milk meal frequency and diurnal feeding patterns. After weaning, calves previously provided restricted amounts of milk had initially greater rates of intake and larger meals, but differences in feeding patterns did not persist. Effects of feed presentation on feeding patterns were then assessed, revealing that providing a mixed ration increased feeding time and decreased rate of intake but resulted in no longer-term differences once all caves were transitioned to a mixed ration. Finally, the effects of competition for access to milk in pair-housed calves was evaluated. Calves fed competitively had initially fewer milk meals, but increased meal frequency over time. Post-weaning, calves previously fed competitively had more frequent displacements, greater rates of intake, and more frequent meals. Thus, feeding strategy alone may have minimal effect on post-weaning feeding patterns in individual-housed calves, but feeding strategy and social environment hay interact to cause persistent differences in feeding patterns. Overall, this thesis provides insight into the development of feed sorting and feeding patterns in response to early management factors. Advisors/Committee Members: DeVries, Trevor (advisor).

▼ The objective of this dissertation was to determine the feeding motivation of dairy heifers and to determine management factors that contribute to satiety in limit-fed dairy heifers. The first study of this dissertation determined the difference in behavioural patterns between limit-fed and ad libitum-fed dairy heifers so that we may understand how limit feeding diverges from normal behaviour. Limit-fed heifers were found to decrease time spent feeding, consume less DM, and increase their feeding rate across the day in comparison to ad libitum-fed heifers. Additionally, the diurnal patterns of ad libitum-fed heifers were much closer to normal behaviour as they consisted of several short, small meals distributed throughout the day. The next three studies examined the management factors of frequency of feed provision and feed bunk space and how these may impact the behaviour of heifers. Increased frequency of feed provision did result in more distribution of feeding activity throughout the day but also imposed feeding amounts that were likely insufficient to achieve satiety. Heifers fed once daily likely experienced satiety in the short term and did spend the most time feeding throughout the day but the diurnal patterns of these heifers did not allow for expression of normal foraging behaviour. Providing increased feed bunk space did not allow limit-fed heifers to spend more time feeding or impact competition within a pen whereas providing straw alongside of a nutrient-dense TMR did result in more normal diurnal patterns, albeit with an increase in competitive behaviour. There was no interaction found between feed bunk space and frequency of feed provision, indicating that limit-fed heifers must be provided with sufficient bunk space to feed simultaneously. Heifers provided with un-restricted bunk space did gain more and were more feed efficient and less variable in feeding time than heifers given restricted bunk space. Feeding once daily resulted in an increase in competition but also enabled heifers to gain well and to spend more time feeding each day. The remaining studies sought to quantify whether a preference for supplementary feed exists in limit-fed heifers and whether heifers will work, and to what extent, for this extra feed. The results indicated that heifers will consume similar amounts of supplementary long or short straw if provided to them alongside of a limit-fed TMR. The limit-fed heifers do, however, show a clear preference for long straw when offered the choice, suggesting that they find long straw to be more satisfactory for achieving rumen fill and/or meeting their behavioural foraging needs. Heifers were also found to work harder (push more weight), spend less time feeding and ruminating, and consume feed faster when provided a high-concentrate, limit-fed ration than when provided a high-forage, ad libitum-fed ration, suggesting that these animals are experiencing feelings of hunger and may not be physically or behaviourally satisfied. These findings indicate that there are clear behavioural… Advisors/Committee Members: DeVries, Trevor J (advisor).

▼ This thesis investigated the impact of dairy cow resting area on hygiene, lying behavior, and milk quality. The first cross-sectional study associated different bedding options (sand, straw, wood products, and recycled manure solids (RMS) and barn management practices with low bacterial count, improved cow hygiene, and milk quality. In that study it was demonstrated that elevated bacterial counts could be reported in any of the sampled used bedding types. At the cow level, factors associated with poor body hygiene for cows housed in free-stall barns were greater parity, while the opposite association was reported for cows housed in tie-stall barns. Regardless of housing system, cows in earlier stages of lactation were at higher risk of poor body hygiene when compared to later lactation cows. The second cross-sectional study aided in finding associations among barn management practices, lying behavior, and risk of elevated somatic cell count (eSCC). Lying duration was positively associated with deep-bedded stalls, negatively associated with cow body condition, and negatively associated with dirty stalls. Lameness prevalence was positively associated with dirty stalls. The last longitudinal, controlled study, investigated how the horizontal neck rail position in a free-stall was associated with stall cleanliness, cow hygiene, and the risk for intramamary infection (IMI) and lameness. Neck-rail position on the stall did not influence on SCC, nor in new cases of IMI. A greater percentage of cows had dirty udders when the neck-rail was positioned further from the stall during one of the treatment periods. Also, having a neck-rail positioned further from the curb tended to increase the risk for a new case of lameness in the second week of each treatment period. Finally, stalls were cleaner when bedding was added more frequently. Overall, this thesis provides evidence that bedding management can have a profound impact on cow milk quality, bacterial concentrations in the bedding substrates, and cow behavior, hygiene, and lameness risk.
