1 Facility Recommendations in Tropical Climates Modernizing Dairy Farms in Costa Rica David W. Kammel Biological Systems Engineering UW Madison

2 Land Base and Dairy Industry Wisconsin Land Base 169,637 square km Dairy Herds 10, Dairy Cows 1,271,000 Average herd size 117 cows Milk production 9860 kg/year/cow

3 Number of Farms Wisconsin Dairy Farms by Herd Size, 2007* 8,000 6, ,400 herds ,860 herds 4, , Head Head Head Head Head Head *Preliminary estimate. Source: USDA/NASS, Farms, Land in Farms, and Livestock Operations Summary.

4 Temperatures in San Jose, Costa Rica and Madison, WI USA Weatherbase.com Intellicast.com

5 Facilities are tools to implement a management plan Water Grazing Paddocks Corrals Feed Storage Machinery Storage House Water Feed Storage Manure Storage Water House Milking Center Components of a Dairy Farm System DVM Gordy Jones

6 Facility Design Goals: Allow the implementation of the management plan to express the cow s genetic potential Provide: Be: Cow Comfort Clean dry environment for cows Adequate fresh air, feed, and water Labor efficient Safe for both workers and cows Environmentally friendly Produce: Quality Food Profitable Dairy Business Consider flow of cows, feed, manure, and people

7 Dairy modernization is investing in facilities that: Improve cow comfort Increase dry matter intake (DMI) Improve labor efficiency Improve operator health and safety Increase profit Improve quality of life

8 Cow Comfort Housing system design which: Protects the cow from severe environmental conditions Provides adequate space for resting, eating, drinking, and walking Limits the likelihood of injury and/or disease Considers all the cows in the herd (especially the subordinate cows)

9 Daily Activity (Hours per Day) Dairy Cow Daily Time Budget Grazing versus Free Stall Confinement System Grazing Free Stall Other Lying Milking Feeding

10 Dairy Animal Management Plan Needs of the cow The cow is number one priority Provide an environment that can express the genetic potential of the cow Provide adequate space for all management groups Provide optimal cow comfort Provide fresh air by ventilation Adequate space for resting, eating and drinking Clean & dry resting space Adequate space to move to feed and water Minimize social and environmental stress Safe from injury Manage weather extremes Cow cooling in warm season Shelter in the wet season

11 Dairy Animal Management Plan Needs of the owner and workers Effectively utilize a farm s resources Land Capital Labor Genetic potential of herd Safe & labor efficient Milking Feeding Manure Handling Cow movement Environmentally sustainable

12 Farmstead Planning in Steps Identify Limitations & prioritize investments Determine a budget based on: Number of cows Financial situation Risk tolerance Develop farmstead master plan Identify planning zones for milking, housing, feeding, feed storage, and manure storage Consider future growth (beyond the first step) Phased construction (investment) Consider current needs and long term goals Reuse existing facilities if possible Build new facilities as needed

13 Farmstead Master Plan A master plan is a set of drawings and documents that describers the site plan with: Physical boundaries Natural boundaries Existing facilities Planned/ proposed improvements Defines the benefits/limits of the site
