Varieties Of Cheese, T A. Morris Jan 1980

Varieties Of Cheese, T A. Morris

Bulletins 4000 -

While Cheddar cheese is by far the main type as far as English speaking countries are concerned, it is only one of a large number of varieties of cheese which are becoming more universal in production and consumption. In other than English speaking countries Cheddar cheese is almost unknown and yet the consumption of cheese in some of these countries is very much greater. The naming of cheese types has usually been a result of the use of the name of the place where the cheese was first made. Thus cheeses of similar type but produced in a different locality …

Raising Dairy Herd Replacements From Weaning To Calving, R Bettenay Jan 1976

Raising Dairy Herd Replacements From Weaning To Calving, R Bettenay

Bulletins 4000 -

The way heifer replacements are reared from weaning to calving can affect their ability to get in calf and to grow to a reasonable size. Under extreme conditions it can impair their lifetime yield. Because the culling rate of cows from dairy herds is usually about 25 per cent, the farmer needs to keep up to 70 per cent of heifer calves born just to maintain herd size. As the herdsize is usually increasing, even more of the heifer calves must be kept and there is little scope for culling heifer calves from poorer cows.

Dairying In W.A., Department Of Agriculture And Food, Western Australia

Bulletins - 3000 - 3999

Western Australia has a small dairy industry compared with its other rural production. However, the industry has consolidated over recent years.Tree clearing and pasture development on existing holdings and the amalgamation of small dairy farms has led to a rapid increase in the area of pasture per farm. The trend in Western Australia is towards bigger herds, more efficient dairies, more fodder conservation and increasing production per cow and per hectare. Commercial dairy farming in Western Australia is confined to the south-western corner of the State, south of Perth, extending in a 50-kilometre-wide strip along the coast to 50 kilometres …


Beef In W.A., Department Of Agriculture And Food, Western Australia Jan 1973

Beef In W.A., Department Of Agriculture And Food, Western Australia

Bulletins - 3000 - 3999

There are four major regions of beef production in Western Australia, each suited to its own type of husbandry. In such a large area, climate plays an important part in limiting production off pasture and this is reflected in the different patterns of production that have emerged from the accumulated experience of working in these areas.
