The issue of colostrum feeding in calves has always been very dear to me. After graduating with my veterinary degree in 1984, in addition to immediately working as a clinician, I wanted to pursue an academic career, which required obtaining what was then called a bachelor's degree. This could be done through an exam or by completing a research project called a thesis.
Extensive livestock management to avoid depleting pastures.
Regenerative agriculture proposes producing food while caring for the soil, biodiversity, and the well-being of those who work the land.
The Technical Dossier no. 123: “Grups operatius a Catalunya. Call 2018” is dedicated to the Groups Operatius developed within the framework of the CAP Strategic Plan (PEPAC 2023-2027), and includes the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems, also linked to AKIS (Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation System).
Cheeses made from cow's milk are typical of the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula, where cattle are predominantly farmed. The production of this product, as with goat and sheep milk, was born with the aim of enhancing the value of the raw material, milk, and obtaining greater returns from livestock farms. Today, there is a wide variety of cheeses made from cow's milk nationwide.
Pasta Hilada Cheese Technology comprises a series of cheeses that exhibit typical rheological characteristics, although we can differentiate between those that undergo a later ripening period and those that are fresh and have a short shelf life (Fresh Pasta Hilada), regardless of whether both types undergo lactic fermentation.
Artisanal cow, goat, and sheep butter is a high-value product that is increasingly being produced by dairy companies, either using cream from skimmed milk or whey intended for the production of dairy products, or by purchasing cream from third-party companies.
The addition of water during cheesemaking is known as "washing the cheese." This basic operation aims to achieve the very typical organoleptic characteristics of this type of cheese: a creamy consistency and mild flavor and aroma.
This document aims to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using ultrasound in the reproductive management of small ruminant farms, based on the experience of IFAPA through the RAEA of Sheep.
Self-drained fresh cheese is a type of cheese originating in northern Spain. It differs from conventional fresh cheese in its higher moisture content, making it one of the dairy products with the lowest energy content.
Mató cheese is a type of cheese that can be obtained through different production techniques: by mineral destabilization (calcium chloride) or acidic (lemon juice or vinegar), or by coagulating the milk with plant-based enzymes, such as the flower of the wild cardoon (Cynara cardunculus). It is obtained by draining the whey, gently pressing (self-pressing) and periodically turning.
Blue cheese is a general category of cheeses, made from cow's, goat's, sheep's, or blended milk, characterized by the internal growth of the Penicillium roqueforti mold, which gives it its characteristic blue-green color. Traditionally, these cheeses were matured in caves, where the mold was established, providing ideal conditions for its development.
Kefir is a dairy product originating in Eastern Europe, which has recently gained significant value for its distinctive organoleptic qualities and health-promoting properties. This document establishes a series of basic recommendations for the artisanal production of two types of kefir: traditional and modern, and their respective adaptations to dairy manufacturing.
Animal welfare as a principle of livestock management is a concept that has been actively developed in recent years. The proper treatment of animals has been practiced since ancient times, although it has not been included in regulations. In this regard, the European Union is a pioneer in developing and guaranteeing the protection and welfare of animals.
This innovative project seeks to improve the profitability and efficiency of RANI (Avileña-Negra Ibérica) native breed suckler cow farms by implementing precision livestock farming technologies. Its goal? To create a sustainable model that inspires other extensive breeds. Some of its notable tools include: -Virtual fencing systems for geolocation.
The Institute of Natural Resources and Agrobiology of Seville (IRNAS) is an experimental research center in the areas of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources.
The definitions given in this document regarding pastures and forages will be adjusted to the Basic Nomenclature of Pastures in Spain (Ferrer et al., 2001). Following its publication, various forums agreed upon its adoption in all Spanish publications on pastures and forages.
