Milk recording in The Netherlands and Belgium • milk
recording samples 10,6 million in NL • milk recording samples 1,3 million in Belgium • 16000 farmers in NL, 93% of the market • 2400 farmers in BE, 45% of the market • Veemanager: - online management program, accessible everywhere - 9.500 users, around 50% of the market - modules for milk recording, animal health, fertility, registration, breeding, mineral management ICAR: Development of Off-farm recording & analysis
Milk recording analysis in all samples • fat percentage • protein percentage • cell count • ureum • lactose
• And had a wish to have a more accurate parameter then fat/protein ratio, to detect subclinical ketosis on herd level

What is ketosis?
Clinical Ketosis
clear symptoms decreased consumption of concentrate animal is slow neurological symptoms possible treatment: medical treatment on individual level
Subclinical Ketosis
metabolic disease (especially occurring in early lactation) an increase of ketone bodies in blood (ketosis) subclinical: few/no symptoms acetone and β-hydroxybutyrate are ketone bodies treatment: adjust diet and/or management on herd level

New method for detection of subclinical ketosis in milk -
A field trial was performed in collaboration with Utrecht University to develop a new method
-
At this moment we detect ketosis in milk recording samples:
FITR “acetone”
< 0,15 mmol/L
-
> 0,15 mmol/L
Autoanalyser acetone

Benefits of “Nutrition Management Module” of CRV Benefits for farmers: • Overview of animals with nutrition related problems - decrease of economical loses by decreased milk production - increase of animal health Benefits for advisors/veterinarians • All milk recording information is available of all farmers performing milk recording - effect of changes in diet can be followed - link between farmer and nutrition advisor/veterinarian Benefits for CRV: • New information product on animal health • In the future possible to develop a new breeding value “ketosis” ICAR: Development of Off-farm recording & analysis
Future - New method for detection of subclinical ketosis in milk -
A model is designed by using: * FTIR “acetone” and “BHBZ” and fat and protein concentration * cow characteristics; lactation days, parity * environment; season
-
A paper subscribing this method is accepted to Journal of Dairy Science by van der Drift et al. (Utrecht University)
