    DETERMINATION OF FAT DEPRESSION IN MILK FROM MECHANICAL MILKING IN WINTER AND SUMMER SEASON

    Cimen, M.; Yildirimi, S.; Cetin, M.; Tekelioglu, O.

    This research was aimed to investigate the fat depression in milk from mechanical milking in winter and summer period. The data was collected from Mega Agricultural Enterprise by DIMES Company during winter and summer months. The milk fat levels in this study are consistent with normal values for cows. In summer months (July and August), the milk fat rates were lower than test value (3.2%). Therefore, it was concluded that low levels of milk fat (<3.2%) in July and August was closely associated with milk fat depression. Low fat levels in milk from machine milking for summer period can cause to economical loss since the milk price depends on milk fat levels. The cheese producers must be careful about fat depression in milk from machine milking in summer period for achieving maximum benefit. Further studies are needed to investigate on fat depression in milk from machine milking.

    THE EFFECT OF SEPARATION FROM DAM ON SUCKLING DURATION AND FREQUENCY OF LAMBS

    Cimen, M.

    The influence of separation from dam on suckling behavior of lambs was tested from day 5 after lambing until the lambs were 8 days old. The twelve ewes with their lambs were randomly assigned in equal numbers to two treatments; separating from dam (S) and non-separating without suckling (NS). Separation from dam resulted in lower duration and higher frequency of suckling. The lambs in S treatment had shown lower milk intake as compared to rearing lambs by NS treatment until 8th day. Milk intake, duration and frequency of suckling in both groups decreased as age of the lamb increased until last day. Separation treatment was associated with stress in dams and their lambs had negative effect on suckling behavior and milk intake of offspring.
