Väkirehun määrän vaikutus lypsylehmän säilörehun syöntiin ja tuotokseen

Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää väkirehumäärän vaikutuksia lypsylehmien säilörehun syöntiin ja syöntikäyttäytymiseen sekä tuotokseen lypsykauden alussa. Väkirehun määrän vaikutuksia on tutkittu paljon niukemmalla väkirehustuksella. Tilojen väkirehun osuus rehustuksessa saattaa ylittää jopa 60 %, joten on tärkeää selvittää väkevän rehustuksen vaikutusta lehmiin. Tutkimustietoa väkirehun määrän vaikutuksista säilörehupohjaisella ruokinnalla lypsykauden alussa on myös suhteellisen vähän. Koe suoritettiin Maa- ja elintarviketalouden tutkimuskeskuksessa (MTT) Jokioisissa Minkiön koenavetassa 20.9.2005 - 25.4.2006 välisenä aikana. Koe tehtiin pihaton osastossa, jossa oli säilörehun syöntiä mittaavat vaakakupit. Koe tehtiin jatkuvana ryhmäkokeena satunnaistetun koemallin mukaisesti. Koe-eläiminä oli 30 Ayshire-lehmää, joista 12 oli ensikoita ja 18 vanhempaa lehmää. Eläimet otettiin kokeeseen poikimisen jälkeen ja ne olivat mukana kokeessa 100 ensimmäisen lypsypäivän ajan. Kokeessa oli kaksi ryhmää eli matalan väkirehutason eläimet (MVR) sekä korkean väkirehutason eläimet (KVR). Vähemmän väkirehua saaneet eläimet saivat väkirehua 10 kg (ensikot) tai 13 kg (vanhemmat lehmät) päivässä. Väkevämmän ruokinnan ryhmässä vastaavat väkirehumäärät olivat 15 kg (ensikot) ja 18 kg (vanhemmat lehmät). Herutuksen kesto oli MVR-ryhmässä 11 vuorokautta ja KVR-ryhmässä 17 vuorokautta. Väkirehun määrän lisääminen vähensi säilörehun syöntiä, mutta lisäsi syönnin kokonaismäärää. Toteutuneet väkirehun osuudet kuiva-aineen syönnin kokonaismäärästä olivat 64 % (KVR) ja 52 % (MVR). Syönnin kokonaismäärä oli KVR-ryhmässä keskimäärin 2,1 kg kuiva-ainetta suurempi kuin MVR-ryhmässä. Säilörehun syönti oli MVR-ryhmässä keskimäärin 9,4 kg ka ja KVR-ryhmässä 7,9 kg ka. Korvaussuhde oli 0,41 kg ka säilörehua / kg ka väkirehua. Säilörehun syönnissä oli havaittavissa neljä syöntihuippua, eikä syönnin rytmittyminen poikennut juuri ryhmien välillä. Syöntihuiput tapahtuivat rehunjaon ja lypsyn jälkeen. Lisäksi keskiyöllä oli havaittavissa pienempi syöntihuippu. Enemmän väkirehua saaneet lehmät söivät säilörehua yhtä monta kertaa päivässä, mutta söivät numeerisesti nopeammin. Niiden yksittäinen syöntikerta oli lyhyempi ja sen aikana syöntimäärä oli pienempi kuin MVR-ryhmän eläimillä. Säilörehun syöntimäärä lisääntyi poikimisen jälkeen molemmissa ryhmissä, mutta määrän lisääntyminen tapahtui nopeammin vähemmän väkirehua saaneiden ryhmässä. Syöntimäärän lisääntyminen on selitettävissä kokonaissyöntiajan lisääntymisellä, sekä syöntiajan lisääntymisellä syöntikertaa kohden. Sitävastoin syöntinopeus hidastui lypsykauden edetessä. Tässä kokeessa ei saavutettu tuotosvastetta väkirehun määrää lisäämällä, vaikka rehun kokonaissyönti lisääntyi selvästi. Tuotosvaste oli vain 0,027 kg/kg ka väkirehua. Energiakorjattuna maitona ilmaistuna tuotosvaste oli negatiivinen eli - 0,22 EKM/kg ka. Huono tuotosvaste voi johtua tässä kokeessa väkirehun suuresta määrästä ja koostumuksesta. Suurempi kuiva-aineen syönti näytti kerryttävän KVR-ryhmän eläinten elopainoa maidontuotannon sijaan. Maidon rasva- ja valkuaispitoisuuksissa ei havaittu merkitseviä eroja ryhmien välillä, mutta pitoisuudet olivat pienempiä KVR-ryhmässä MVR-ryhmään verrattuna.

Precipitation-induced runoff and leaching from milled peat mining mires by peat types : a comparative method for estimating the loading of water bodies during peat pruduction

Precipitation-induced runoff and leaching from milled peat mining mires by peat types: a comparative method for estimating the loading of water bodies during peat production. This research project in environmental geology has arisen out of an observed need to be able to predict more accurately the loading of watercourses with detrimental organic substances and nutrients from already existing and planned peat production areas, since the authorities capacity for insisting on such predictions covering the whole duration of peat production in connection with evaluations of environmental impact is at present highly limited. National and international decisions regarding monitoring of the condition of watercourses and their improvement and restoration require more sophisticated evaluation methods in order to be able to forecast watercourse loading and its environmental impacts at the stage of land-use planning and preparations for peat production.The present project thus set out from the premise that it would be possible on the basis of existing mire and peat data properties to construct estimates for the typical loading from production mires over the whole duration of their exploitation. Finland has some 10 million hectares of peatland, accounting for almost a third of its total area. Macroclimatic conditions have varied in the course of the Holocene growth and development of this peatland, and with them the habitats of the peat-forming plants. Temperatures and moisture conditions have played a significant role in determining the dominant species of mire plants growing there at any particular time, the resulting mire types and the accumulation and deposition of plant remains to form the peat. The above climatic, environmental and mire development factors, together with ditching, have contributed, and continue to contribute, to the existence of peat horizons that differ in their physical and chemical properties, leading to differences in material transport between peatlands in a natural state and mires that have been ditched or prepared for forestry and peat production. Watercourse loading from the ditching of mires or their use for peat production can have detrimental effects on river and lake environments and their recreational use, especially where oxygen-consuming organic solids and soluble organic substances and nutrients are concerned. It has not previously been possible, however, to estimate in advance the watercourse loading likely to arise from ditching and peat production on the basis of the characteristics of the peat in a mire, although earlier observations have indicated that watercourse loading from peat production can vary greatly and it has been suggested that differences in peat properties may be of significance in this. Sprinkling is used here in combination with simulations of conditions in a milled peat production area to determine the influence of the physical and chemical properties of milled peats in production mires on surface runoff into the drainage ditches and the concentrations of material in the runoff water. Sprinkling and extraction experiments were carried out on 25 samples of milled Carex (C) and Sphagnum (S) peat of humification grades H 2.5 8.5 with moisture content in the range 23.4 89% on commencement of the first sprinkling, which was followed by a second sprinkling 24 hours later. The water retention capacity of the peat was best, and surface runoff lowest, with Sphagnum and Carex peat samples of humification grades H 2.5 6 in the moisture content class 56 75%. On account of the hydrophobicity of dry peat, runoff increased in a fairly regular manner with drying of the sample from 55% to 24 30%. Runoff from the samples with an original moisture content over 55% increased by 63% in the second round of sprinkling relative to the first, as they had practically reached saturation point on the first occasion, while those with an original moisture content below 55% retained their high runoff in the second round, due to continued hydrophobicity. The well-humified samples (H 6.5 8.5) with a moisture content over 80% showed a low water retention capacity and high runoff in both rounds of sprinkling. Loading of the runoff water with suspended solids, total phosphorus and total nitrogen, and also the chemical oxygen demand (CODMn O2), varied greatly in the sprinkling experiment, depending on the peat type and degree of humification, but concentrations of the same substances in the two sprinklings were closely or moderately closely correlated and these correlations were significant. The concentrations of suspended solids in the runoff water observed in the simulations of a peat production area and the direct surface runoff from it into the drainage ditch system in response to rain (sprinkling intensity 1.27 mm/min) varied c. 60-fold between the degrees of humification in the case of the Carex peats and c. 150-fold for the Sphagnum peats, while chemical oxygen demand varied c. 30-fold and c. 50-fold, respectively, total phosphorus c. 60-fold and c. 66-fold, total nitrogen c. 65-fold and c. 195-fold and ammonium nitrogen c. 90-fold and c. 30-fold. The increases in concentrations in the runoff water were very closely correlated with increases in humification of the peat. The correlations of the concentrations measured in extraction experiments (48 h) with peat type and degree of humification corresponded to those observed in the sprinkler experiments. The resulting figures for the surface runoff from a peat production area into the drainage ditches simulated by means of sprinkling and material concentrations in the runoff water were combined with statistics on the mean extent of daily rainfall (0 67 mm) during the frost-free period of the year (May October) over an observation period of 30 years to yield typical annual loading figures (kg/ha) for suspended solids (SS), chemical oxygen demand of organic matter (CODmn O2), total phosphorus (tot. P) and total nitrogen (tot. N) entering the ditches with respect to milled Carex (C) and Sphagnum (S) peats of humification grades H 2.5 8.5. In order to calculate the loading of drainage ditches from a milled peat production mire with the aid of these annual comparative values (in kg/ha), information is required on the properties of the intended production mire and its peat. Once data are available on the area of the mire, its peat depth, peat types and their degrees of humification, dry matter content, calorific value and corresponding energy content, it is possible to produce mutually comparable estimates for individual mires with respect to the annual loading of the drainage ditch system and the surrounding watercourse for the whole service life of the production area, the duration of this service life, determinations of energy content and the amount of loading per unit of energy generated (kg/MWh). In the 8 mires in the Köyhäjoki basin, Central Ostrobothnia, taken as an example, the loading of suspended solids (SS) in the drainage ditch networks calculated on the basis of the typical values obtained here and existing mire and peat data and expressed per unit of energy generated varied between the mires and horizons in the range 0.9 16.5 kg/MWh. One of the aims of this work was to develop means of making better use of existing mire and peat data and the results of corings and other field investigations. In this respect combination of the typical loading values (kg/ha) obtained here for S, SC, CS and C peats and the various degrees of humification (H 2.5 8.5) with the above mire and peat data by means of a computer program for the acquisition and handling of such data would enable all the information currently available and that deposited in the system in the future to be used for defining watercourse loading estimates for mires and comparing them with the corresponding estimates of energy content. The intention behind this work has been to respond to the challenge facing the energy generation industry to find larger peat production areas that exert less loading on the environment and to that facing the environmental authorities to improve the means available for estimating watercourse loading from peat production and its environmental impacts in advance. The results conform well to the initial hypothesis and to the goals laid down for the research and should enable watercourse loading from existing and planned peat production to be evaluated better in the future and the resulting impacts to be taken into account when planning land use and energy generation. The advance loading information available in this way would be of value in the selection of individual peat production areas, the planning of their exploitation, the introduction of water protection measures and the planning of loading inspections, in order to achieve controlled peat production that pays due attention to environmental considerations.

Isotopic records of terrestrial ice age environments in mammoth bioapatite

Palaeoenvironments of the latter half of the Weichselian ice age and the transition to the Holocene, from ca. 52 to 4 ka, were investigated using isotopic analysis of oxygen, carbon and strontium in mammal skeletal apatite. The study material consisted predominantly of subfossil bones and teeth of the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius Blumenbach), collected from Europe and Wrangel Island, northeastern Siberia. All samples have been radiocarbon dated, and their ages range from >52 ka to 4 ka. Altogether, 100 specimens were sampled for the isotopic work. In Europe, the studies focused on the glacial palaeoclimate and habitat palaeoecology. To minimise the influence of possible diagenetic effects, the palaeoclimatological and ecological reconstructions were based on the enamel samples only. The results of the oxygen isotope analysis of mammoth enamel phosphate from Finland and adjacent nortwestern Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Denmark and Sweden provide the first estimate of oxygen isotope values in glacial precipitation in northern Europe. The glacial precipitation oxygen isotope values range from ca. -9.2±1.5 in western Denmark to -15.3 in Kirillov, northwestern Russia. These values are 0.6-4.1 lower than those in present-day precipitation, with the largest changes recorded in the currently marine influenced southern Sweden and the Baltic region. The new enamel-derived oxygen isotope data from this study, combined with oxygen isotope records from earlier investigations on mammoth tooth enamel and palaeogroundwaters, facilitate a reconstruction of the spatial patterns of the oxygen isotope values of precipitation and palaeotemperatures over much of Europe. The reconstructed geographic pattern of oxygen isotope levels in precipitation during 52-24 ka reflects the progressive isotopic depletion of air masses moving northeast, consistent with a westerly source of moisture for the entire region, and a circulation pattern similar to that of the present-day. The application of regionally varied δ/T-slopes, estimated from palaeogroundwater data and modern spatial correlations, yield reasonable estimates of glacial surface temperatures in Europe and imply 2-9°C lower long-term mean annual surface temperatures during the glacial period. The isotopic composition of carbon in the enamel samples indicates a pure C3 diet for the European mammoths, in agreement with previous investigations of mammoth ecology. A faint geographical gradient in the carbon isotope values of enamel is discernible, with more negative values in the northeast. The spatial trend is consistent with the climatic implications of the enamel oxygen isotope data, but may also suggest regional differences in habitat openness. The palaeogeographical changes caused by the eustatic rise of global sea level at the end of the Weichselian ice age was investigated on Wrangel Island, using the strontium isotope (Sr-87/Sr-86) ratios in the skeletal apatite of the local mammoth fauna. The diagenetic evaluations suggest good preservation of the original Sr isotope ratios, even in the bone specimens included in the study material. To estimate present-day environmental Sr isotope values on Wrangel Island, bioapatite samples from modern reindeer and muskoxen, as well as surface waters from rivers and ice wedges were analysed. A significant shift towards more radiogenic bioapatite Sr isotope ratios, from 0.71218 ± 0.00103 to 0.71491 ± 0.00138, marks the beginning of the Holocene. This implies a change in the migration patterns of the mammals, ultimately reflecting the inundation of the mainland connection and isolation of the population. The bioapatite Sr isotope data supports published coastline reconstructions placing the time of separation from the mainland to ca. 10-10.5 ka ago. The shift towards more radiogenic Sr isotope values in mid-Holocene subfossil remains after 8 ka ago reflects the rapid rise of the sea level from 10 to 8 ka, resulting in a considerable reduction of the accessible range area on the early Wrangel Island.
