The cutting of the cake at the 100 Year Celebration luncheon featured daughter, Mrs A Garratt, and granddaughter, Mrs Lee Ewing, of our founding convenor Arthur Melsey and Mrs. E Scott (98 years), wife of past president Frank Scott.

us all, a strong common thread. We have been provided with financial gain, personal satisfaction, special moments and irreplaceable friendships all given to us by "the common thread". The Jersey cow we thank her for all that she has given us, may she prosper into the next century.

To the Future. Much has been achieved in the last 100 years. In 2012 the Jersey cow "is on a roll". Technology is moving quickly, opportunities are many. We encourage our youth to take up the challenge to continue to promote the Jersey cow and to contribute to making her a continued force in the dairy industry. If the level of hard work and enthusiasm can continue there will always be a successful place for the Jersey cow.

The club has always had a strong connection with the Red Cross, at the Luncheon $330 was raised for the local branch.

The South Gippsland Jersey Breeders Club would like to take this opportunity to thank their sponsors - Devondale, Central Sires, Rabobank, Southern Stockfeeds, Jersey Australia and C&L Stainless Steel Pty Ltd, without their generous support this celebration would not have been possible.

Members and guests also enjoyed a tour to Jersey studs around South Gippsland, with international visitors - Dr. Jude Kapper (Washington State University Adjunct Professor of Animal Sciences), Cherie Bayer, PhD (American Jersey Cattle Association Director of

Jersey Australia executive Scott Joynson said the record breaking sales during the week was a good indication of how happy all their members would be.

“It was only the first thing to come out of the week. The international speakers talking on the carbon footprint and also the future genomic technology. To be exposed to those speakers when these changes are right around the corner was a real bonus for our members,” he said. n

words: Michael Porteus

Jerseys produce a fifth less carbon

Animal science researcher Dr Judith Capper says analysis of American dairy production shows Jerseys do a good job for the environment.

R

esearch on the American dairy herd indicates that Jerseys have a 20 percent lighter carbon footprint than Holsteins.

The research by Washington State University Adjunct Professor of Animal Sciences Judith L Capper was published this year in the journal of the American Dairy Science Association.

Dr Capper discussed her findings at the Jersey Australia Conference and Annual General Meeting in Gippsland in May. She says the research on dairy production across the United States in 2009 shows that Jerseys generate 20 percent less greenhouse gas than Holsteins to make a unit of cheddar cheese.

Dr Capper also says Jerseys use eleven percent less land and about a third percent less water than Holsteins.

She’d expect Jerseys to show similar advantages over Holsteins in the

20 Jersey Journal – July/August 2012

production of all dairy products. She thinks her findings on data from the US Dairy Records Management System should translate well to other advanced dairy countries, such as Australia.

Dr Capper – who introduces herself as Jude – grew up in Oxfordshire in Britain.

She became interested in farm animals after she acquired a horse at the age of nine.

She studied in the UK and at Cornell University in New York before moving to Washington State University three years ago where she began looking into the environmental effects of improving dairy productivity.

She had no experience with Jerseys until 2009, when she started the research comparing the carbon impacts of Jerseys with the impact of the Holsteins which

make up 86 percent of the US dairy herd. The research is supported by the American Jersey Cattle Association.

“We wanted to look at the interactive effects of the smaller bodyweight and the higher milk fat and protein - and therefore the higher cheese yield of the Jersey cow - but also the lower milk yield compared to the Holstein,” she says.

“Jerseys have higher milk fat and protein - and therefore the higher cheese yield - but also the lower milk yield compared to the Holstein.

“Our initial thought was that higher fat and protein content and lower bodyweight would compensate for the relatively lower milk yield.

“Indeed it did.

“For example, if we look at the carbon footprint of making cheddar cheese from Jersey milk versus Holstein milk, there’s a 20 percent decrease in the carbon footprint per unit of cheese.

“In terms of water use when we make cheddar cheese from Jersey milk versus Holsteins, we save 32 percent of the water.

“With land use, there’s an eleven percent decrease with the Jerseys versus the Holsteins.”

Dr Capper says the economic impacts of this are yet to be studied, but “you would expect it to have an economic impact similar to the environmental impact”.

She says US Jersey breeders have welcomed the research, but “it has not had a lot of push back from Holstein farmers”.

However, Dr Capper says the research has interested milk buyers and processors. They could highlight Jerseys’ better outcomes with land, water and carbon as they advertise products made from Jersey milk.

Dr Capper says producers in countries committed to carbon reductions could consider switching from Holsteins to

A Day To Remember Jerseys to produce smaller amounts of greenhouse gasses.

“Obviously, we’ve got to always suit the cow herself to the individual system,” she says, “but everything else being equal, yeah, it makes absolute sense.

“Jerseys have a positive environmental impact over the Holstein.

“And even in terms of milk, the Jersey has advantages over the Holstein on an energy-corrected basis.”

Dr Capper’s paper ‘A comparison of the environmental impact of Jersey compared with Holstein milk for cheese production’ was written with R.A. Cady of Elanco Animal Health from Greenfield in Indiana.

“The objective of this study was to compare the environmental impact of Jersey or Holstein milk production sufficient to yield 500,000t of cheese (equivalent cheese yield),” the paper says.

“The deterministic model used 2009 DairyMetrics (Dairy Records Management Systems, Raleigh, NC) population data for milk yield and composition (Jersey: 20.9 kg/d, 4.8% fat, 3.7% protein; Holstein: 29.1 kg/d, 3.8% fat, 3.1% protein), age at first calving, calving interval, and culling rate.

“Each population contained lactating and dry cows, bulls, and herd replacements for which rations were formulated according to DairyPro (Agricultural Modeling and Training Systems, Cornell, Ithaca, NY) at breedappropriate body weights (BW), with mature cows weighing 454 kg (Jersey) or 680 kg (Holstein).

“Resource inputs included feedstuffs, water, land, fertilisers, and fossil fuels.

“Waste outputs included manure and greenhouse gas emissions.

“Cheese yield (kg) was calculated according to the Van Slyke equation.

“A yield of 500,000t of cheese required 4.94 billion kg of Holstein milk compared with 3.99 billion kg of Jersey milk – a direct consequence of differences in milk nutrient density (fat and protein contents) between the two populations.

“The reduced daily milk yield of Jersey cows increased the population size required to supply sufficient milk for the required cheese yield, but the differential in BW between the Jersey and Holstein breeds reduced the body mass of the Jersey population by 125,000t.

“Consequently, the population energy requirement was reduced by 7,177,000 MJ; water use by 252 million litres; and

cropland use by 97,500 ha per 500,000t of cheese yield.

“Nitrogen and phosphorus excretion were reduced by 17,234 and 1,492t respectively through the use of Jersey milk to yield 500,000t of cheddar cheese.

“The carbon footprint was reduced by 1,662,000t of carbon-dioxide equivalents per 500,000t of cheese in Jersey cows compared with Holsteins.

“The interaction between milk nutrient density and BW demonstrated by the Jersey population overcame the reduced daily milk yield, thus reducing resource use and environmental impact.

“This reduction was achieved through two mechanisms: Diluting population maintenance overhead through improved milk nutrient density, and reducing maintenance overhead through a reduction in productive and non-productive body mass within the population.”

The paper concludes that producing cheddar cheese from Jersey milk consumes fewer natural resources and has a lower environmental impact compared with using milk from Holsteins.

“The interaction between improved milk nutrient density and reduced BW demonstrated by the Jersey population overcomes the reduced daily milk yield (compared with Holstein cows), thus reducing resource use and environmental impact per unit of cheese yield,” the paper says.

“As concerns over the environmental impact of livestock production continue to grow, it is crucial to focus on both diluting (milk component yield) and reducing (BW) population maintenance requirements to further reduce natural resource use and the environmental impact of dairy production.”

Dr Capper has underlined these conclusions in talks in the US and Australia this year. She told the US Jersey Youth Academy that using Jersey milk for cheese production saves resources. It reduced environmental impact because improving productivity diluted population maintenance cost and resource use over more units of production.

“Increasing milk components means more units of cheese are produced from a set amount of milk,” she said.

“Future Jersey selection goals should focus on improving productivity while maintaining bodyweight and milk component advantages.” n

On Tuesday, 10 April 2012 Robert and Sandra Brown (below) of Wollingurry Jersey Stud, Fitzroy Falls were recognised at the Royal Agricultural Society’s Day of Excellence in Agriculture.

In the words of Glenn Dudley, the President of the Royal Agricultural Society, the ceremony’s aim was to “honour the wonderful achievements of men and women who have contributed so much to the Royal Agricultural Society and the Royal Agricultural Society Competitions.”

Sixty two people received the award from all agricultural areas, with only five from the Dairy Cattle Section.

During a special ceremony in the main arena at the show, Robert and Sandra were both presented to The Governor of New South Wales, Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir whom awarded them both with a ‘Parade of Champions’ sash and certificate.

This event was followed by a special Grand Parade dedicated to those who had received the award and then a celebration dinner with the Governor.

Wollingurry Jersey Stud first started showing at the Easter Show in 1904. Robert and Sandra have been showing at the show for 46 years, during this time their cattle have been awarded many Champion Ribbons and two Supreme Champion Females.

Dr John Quin from Orana Jersey Stud, Camden, was also honoured on the day. n Jersey Journal – July/August 2012 21

OBITUARY

Ed Ireland – remembered for innovation and integrity The Australian Jersey community is saddened by the death of Ed Ireland, a pioneer in the use of artificial insemination in the Australian Jersey herd who was also key figure behind the development of the Australian Jersey Journal.

Ed was born in 1922 at Market Harborough in the United Kingdom. He was educated at the Hinckley Grammar School before he migrated to Australia in 1952 with his wife Gwen.

Although Ed was not from a farming background, after his arrival in Western Australia he focussed on an opportunity to clear land and run Jerseys on a farm he named “Bosworth” at Rosa Brook near Margaret River.

As well as beginning a family with four children, Ed became involved in

the Jersey community, and built up his herd with steps including pioneering adoption of artificial insemination.

Although he loved Western Australia – and would return to farm there many times – Ed also created opportunities to operate his Bosworth stud at numerous locations in Victoria.

These included a farm near Merrigum, where he gained community respect with work which made him a leading breeder. He was a strident proponent of progressive changes in the dairy business, and a key person in the development of a national Jersey publication.

Following his retirement from stud farming in 1989, Ed remained active in the dairy communities in both Victoria and Western Australia, where he

continued to play a leading role in Jersey organisations.

The spirit of Ed Ireland will continue as the Australian Jersey community continues the innovation and integrity which were the hallmarks of his career.

LETTER

Dear Editor, It was with great interest I read the article in the May/ June issue of the Journal on “Polled Genetics Dominate”.

My interest goes back to the 1950’s when given the responsibility for the N.S.W. Agriculture project in developing a herd of Poll Jerseys with the ultimate objective of distributing the dominant poll gene through the Jersey breed.

The program commenced by importing a homogenous (PP) poll bull from New Zealand for mating to our Jersey herd located at the Glen Innes Research Station. This resulted in the birth of 30 poll (Ph) heifers (and 32 bull calves). This herd was later (1957) moved to Grafton P Research Station. The breeding program at that time included purchase of the Reserve Champion Cow at Sydney Show, Bridestow Treasure (owned by Sir Frederick Stewart) and other selected Jersey cows.

Unfortunately, in those days, we did not have the advantage of todays knowledge and application of gene marking, genomics and an organized progeny testing program.

Also, and surprisingly, the Breed Society would only register cattle in a newly established “Poll” section of the Herd Book (this even included horned animals (hh) born from heterozygous (Ph) parents). words: Kerrie

McGarvie

The decision to cease the project in the early 1970’s was due to a number of reasons. Predominate among these was the lack of interest from commercial dairy farmers and especially reluctance from registered breeders of Jersey cattle to embrace and participate in the project. The latter reasoning was accepted at the time, as other breed traits were obviously more important (and dehorning in any case a relatively simple process).

While I salute the great achievements made by the Jersey breed, especially over the last two decades, in significant increases in milk production, I believe a later paragraph in the Journal article is worth repeating viz: “The Jersey breed has bred itself out of the dark days of unpopularity.

There is nothing it cannot achieve with perseverance”.

Perhaps inclusion of polled genetics, through the availability of “top” proven AB sires, is one of the challenges; and maybe our efforts 50 years ago were not totally in vain.
