The applicability of milking-time testing in automatic milking systems
Nørstebø, Håvard (PhD Thesis;2020:5, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Norsk mjølkeproduksjon forandrer seg i retning større produksjonsenheter, økende bruk av automatiske mjølkingssystemer (AMS) og reduserte økonomiske marginer. Til tross for at situasjonen har forbedret seg kraftig de siste ... -
Climate change resilience through enhanced reproduction and lactation performance in Malawian Zebu cattle
Bhatti, Muhammad Azher (Master thesis, 2016)Malawi is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change in the world, and the site of our investigation, Bolero EPA (Extension Planning Area), Rumphi District, is particularly exposed. Climate change lead to a ... -
Deterministic modeling of the transmission dynamics of intramammary infections
Rachah, Amira; Dalen, Gunnar; Nørstebø, Håvard; Reksen, Olav; Barlow, John W. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We present a novel deterministic modelling approach that describes the transmission dynamics of intramammary infections (IMI) caused by Corynebacterium spp. (Corynebacterium species) in a US dairy herd. Longitudinal, ... -
Dynamics of somatic cell count patterns as a proxy for transmission of mastitis pathogens
Dalen, Gunnar; Rachah, Amira; Nørstebø, Håvard; Schukken, Ynte H; Reksen, Olav (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019) -

Exploring Dry-Film FTIR Spectroscopy to Characterize Milk Composition and Subclinical Ketosis throughout a Cow’s Lactation
Rachah, Amira; Reksen, Olav; Tafintseva, Valeria; Stehr, Felicia Judith Marie; Rukke, Elling-Olav; Prestløkken, Egil; Martin, Adam Dunstan; Kohler, Achim; Afseth, Nils Kristian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The use of technologies for measurements of health parameters of individual cows may ensure early detection of diseases and maximization of individual cow and herd potential. In the present study, dry-film Fourier transform ... -
Factors Associated with Body Weight Attainment in Calves on Smallholder Dairy Farms in Tanzania
Chang'a, Jelly S.; Løken, Torleiv; Mdegela, Robinson; Reksen, Olav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012) -
Factors associated with milking-to-milking variability in somatic cell counts from healthy cows in an automatic milking system
Nørstebø, Håvard; Dalen, Gunnar; Rachah, Amira; Heringstad, Bjørg; Whist, Anne Cathrine; Nødtvedt, Ane C. W.; Reksen, Olav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Fully automated on-line analysis equipment is available for analysis of somatic cell count (SCC) at every milking in automatic milking systems. In addition to results from on-line cell counters (OCC), an array of additional ... -
Fourier transform infrared spectral data as a tool to predict energy balance, energy- and dry matter intake in lactating dairy cows
Rachah, Amira; Reksen, Olav; Afseth, Nils Kristian; Tafintseva, Valeria; Ferneborg, Sabine; Martin, Adam Dunstan; Kohler, Achim; Prestløkken, Egil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
Large-scale cross-sectional study of relationships between somatic cell count and milking-time test results in different milking systems

Pathogen-specific patterns of milking traits in automatic milking systems
Olofsson, Charlott Kjærre; Toftaker, Ingrid; Rachah, Amira; Reksen, Olav; Kielland, Camilla (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Early detection of IMI can improve animal health and welfare in dairy herds. The implementation of sensors and automatic milking systems (AMS) in dairy production inherently increases the amount of available data and hence ... -
