Ecological Impacts of Intensively Managed Dairy Farms: Environmental Challenges to Sustainable Dairy DevelopmentBy Md. Emran Hossain, Minara Begum Munni, Shilpi Islam
Abstract: Intensively managed dairy farming systems, designed to maximize production efficiency, have raised significant concerns regarding their long-term ecological impacts. This study explores the environmental consequences of such systems, focusing on soil degradation, water resource depletion, biodiversity loss, greenhouse gas emissions, and ecosystem imbalance. While intensive dairy farming contributes to high yields, it also accelerates environmental degradation through practices such as excessive fertilizer and water use, monoculture feeding, and inadequate waste …

Social Dynamics and Behavioral Influences on Puberty Onset in Dairy Heifers: A Comprehensive StudyBy Md. Emran Hossain, Minara Begum Munni, Shilpi Islam
Abstract: Puberty onset in dairy heifers is a critical milestone for reproductive efficiency and overall herd productivity. This study investigates the multifaceted roles of social dynamics and behavioral interactions in determining the timing of puberty in dairy heifers. By examining both individual and group-level behaviors, the research explores how factors, such as social hierarchy, peer interaction, environmental stimuli, and stress response contribute to variations in puberty onset. The study integrates observational …
