Yet more total garbage from the liar and narcissist TB unfree, He must be taking part in a Grand Make Stuff Upathon at the moment. Cant help but wonder what the prize is though, perhaps its a collection of books about farming around the world with articles that he can pretend apply to this country. The comment below is one of his that was directly under this post on his page #####TB Free England More cows, more crowding, less individual care, more competition, more chance of disease spread... Not just Bovine TB either.##### Thing is, the actual welfare of dairy cattle in this country is years ahead of anything anywhere else in the world, and certainly miles in front of anything in the States, I say the States because as with this article and the garbage he made up about antibiotics the other day, he and the other AR morons like to presume that you can apply information from there directly to here. With specific reference to what the Unfree idiot said in his post, More cows actually equals greater efficiency, it does not equate to more overcrowding, this is simply because in this country, as part of your quality assurance inspection, cows have to have a minimum area of square meters each to live in as well as a % of more cubicles than cows. Get that wrong, youve got no assurance ticket, and no assurance ticket means no milk sales. It does not add up to more competition either, although he doesnt specify what he means by this (to be honest i dont actually think he knows, it just sounds good in an anti farmer way). Well assume he means space for cows to feed, again this is garbage because quality assurance requirements you have to have a certain amount of space for each cow to get access to feed, No assurance ticket, no milk sales. He goes on to dribble on and make a big thing about increasing milk yeild being a problem, Well heres the thing you dolt, over crowded cows, that dont have enough room to feed and are at greater competition with their herd mates, cannot either take in enough Kilos of food, or then spend quiet time laying down chewing their cud and making milk. It any of lies and misinformation he said was a problem, yields wouldnt have risen 4%! Cows do not just go and give extra milk, you cant beat it out of them, they have to be cared for and managed with great skill. So the statement this this leads to less individual care, yet again can be seen for the total cobblers that it is. lastly as far as more disease or chance of disease spread, the Figure the idiot unfree put up himself two days ago point to this being garbage, after all, if increases in yeild and herd size were driving increased disease, why is he saying the total antibiotic use has fallen? As far as Tb is concerned, the idiot seems to have forgotten that all movements on have to be both pre and post movement tested, it also takes no account of the fact that most herd expansion is actually organic, in that it is made up from increased numbers of a farms own replacements. and not from brought in animals. Tb doesnt just magically appear out of the ether, chances are if you get it, its because youve a sett full mangy wood pandas peeing out tb rubbish all over your cattles feed or pasture. Anyway have a read at the misinformation and lies, and realise unfree wouldnt recognise a fact if it punched him in the face and called itself jay TB Free England shared a link. 31 October New Defra farming figures reveal that... The upward trend in average herd size continued and the average milk yield per cow increased by approximately 4 percent to just over 7,900 litres. farminguk/news/New-Defra-farm-figures-underline-volatility-_31208.html Which is a concern, because... VetNet data reveals that herd size is positively correlated with disease persistence. [We can] conclude that increasing herd size for efficiency gains may contribute to increased disease incidence. sciencedirect/science/article/pii/S0167587709002505
