Failure to Use Cubicles and Concentrate Dispenser by Heifers after Transfer from Rearing Accommodation to Milking Herd

Acta vet. scand. 2001, 42, 171-180. Failure to Use Cubicles and Concentrate Dispenser by Heifers after Transfer from Rearing Accommodation to Milking Herd By H. P. Kj?stad1 and H. J. Myren2 1The Norwegian School of Veterinary Science, Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, Oslo, and 21760 Berg i ?stfold, Norway. Kj?stad HP, Myren HJ: Failure to use cubicles and concentrate dispenser by heifers after transfer from rearing accommodation to milking herd. Acta vet. Scand. 2001, 42, 171-180. – Thirty-three dairy farms in the Norwegian counties of ?stfold and Akershus in which cubicle sheds had been in use for at least one year and with a herd size of less than 60 cows, were contacted and asked to participate in a study. The study focused on heifers’ use of cubicles and concentrate dispenser just after being transferred from rearing accommodation to the milking herd. For each heifer, the farmer recorded cubicle use once nightly between 9 and 11 pm. The daily amount of concen- trate released in the dispenser and the allotted daily ration were also recorded. The re- cording period was 15 consecutive days for cubicle use and 7 days for concentrate dis- penser use. Cubicle refusal behaviour, i.e. lying outside the cubicles, was analysed by logistic regression using rearing accommodation of heifers, herd size, heifer age, and housing layout as independent variables, and herd as a clustering variable. On Day 2 af- ter transfer, 34% of the heifers were showing cubicle refusal behaviour (N=340). By Day 15 this percentage had dropped to 23. Cubicle refusal was lower throughout the whole period among heifers which used the cubicles on the 3 ?rst days after transfer compared to those which did not. This tendency could also be detected several months later. The analysis showed cubicle refusal to be signi?cantly associated with rearing ac- commodation (OR=6.1, c.i. =1.5-24.3, P=0.01) and cubicle layout in the shed 95%OR =0
