their cows’ diets on their nutritional needs, it allows the ranch to keep their cows at a healthy body weight. This facility keeps their cows at a 3 ½ body condition before lactation begins.

During this period, the cows are fed a diet high in roughage to help increase their body weights. Heifers are fed a diet high in roughage that…

and babies who are affected by tongue-tie (Ankyloglossia). This research study compared the effect of immediate division against the use of lactation support (a conventional approach) in infants with tongue-tie and feeding problems.

Despite evident benefits of division (frenotomy), studies show that there is still lack of consensus regarding tongue…

Even I felt uncomfortable the first time. **** In addition, the image of lactation stands in stark contrast to the stereotypical images projected by dairy industries— green fields, sunshine, and happy cows. In MGW, lactation occurs in a dark, cramped indoor where women are openly encouraged (apparent by the men yelling “c’mon, ladies!” at 0:07) to bare their breasts. Some women are even…

the “best nutrition for babies, natural and good.” McKinney continues by talking about how opinions shift once you ask someone if public breastfeeding is acceptable. She bases the reliability of her writing through “nine years of lactation, even longer study of lactation, and the experience of thousands of other mothers.” McKinney explains that no one badmouths mothers who bottle-feed their children in public, therefore doing so in regards to women who breastfeed in public is discriminatory.

Body condition scoring is an important management tool within the dairy industry, due to having cows which are too thin and cows which are too fat can lead to many problems and it will contribute to a loss of production. Both cows which are too thin and fat will have a reduced milk yield and poor fertility. The body condition score of…

In addition, it has…

Skeletal remains are useful for interpreting the model of animal exploitation employed in a specific region, especially for large mammals, whose carcasses are extremely difficult to transport. (Becker 2002). With the presence of the whole animal carcass suggests an economy based on management in which animals are readily available and are slaughtered and butchered onsite (Arbuckle, 2009). Furthermore, if a high presences of “high utility” remains such as the limb of the animal are more common…
