Texte intégralThe objective of this master's project was therefore to develop a low cost and sustainable technology for the treatment and disposal of milk house wastewaters that would permit on-farm recycling of nutrients and water. With the help of the research results of Urgel Delisle and Ass., the new system was done by modifying existing septic tank systems on two dairy farms with 40-50 cows by installing a sediment and milk fat trap before the septic tank, and building a drained 0.45ha seepage field in a pasture or cropped field, after the septic tank.
The modified septic tank system on each farm was monitored during a three year period, which involved checking the system for clogging by digging out sections of sewer pipes after two years of operation; measuring and sampling milk house wastewaters to establish the annual nutrient load, and comparing the water quality in drainage from the seepage field to that of a nearby control field.
The milk house wastewaters produced by the farms led to an average nutrient load of 60kg TN/ha/y, 50kg TP/ha/y and 80 kg TK/ha/y. The average volume of wastewater applied to the seepage field, between 16 and 19mm/month, did not saturate the soil as no sign of gleying (reduction of iron oxides) was observed when excavating the sewer pipes. In general, soil pH decreased when milk house wastewater entered the seepage field, while the NH4-N, K and Ca concentrations increased. However, soil salinity was low (<4 dS m -1) on these farms. The soil P concentration was unchanged on one farm, but there was rapid and significant accumulation of P in the 20-60 cm depth of the soil profile on the second farm. The accumulation of milk fat inside the sewer pipes on one farm resulted from the disposal of wasted milk into the septic system, the absence of a water softener and the fact that this fat was not regularly removed from the trap. The milk fat was then flowed into the septic tank harming the correct operation of the system. Drainage water quality was similar from the seepage field of the modified septic tank system as an adjacent control field.
The low cost of system modification, about $4 400 Can., and the treatment efficiency achieved meant that the concept is feasible and offers a suitable solution for small dairy farms.

Texte intégralInteractions in livestock systems need to be understood to develop practices that aim to improve these systems’ environmental performances. On this basis, the thesis explored statistical copula-based methods, which formalize complex dependence structures among several descriptive variables of farms and their context. This work was based on a wide variety of French dairy farms surveyed by the French Livestock Institute. The thesis is divided into three complementary parts, all of which used a copula-based modelling approach. (i) Studying deviation in the correlation between two variables (e.g., a product and an emission of a farm) as a function of a third one (e.g., management practice). (ii)Mapping multiple interactions using graphs to model dependence structures among the most strongly correlated pairs of variables. (iii) Constructing scenarios to mitigate whole-farm greenhouse gas emissions and assessing their effects on farm outputs. Highlighting indirect dependencies among variables and their extremes, the results highlighted the relevance of copula-based modelling for identifying interrelations that may influence the effectiveness of practices that aim to improve environmental performances of farms

Texte intégralOver the last 10 years, new methods have emerged for farmers to estimate the genetic level of their Montbéliarde cattle. These methods rely on the genotyping of animals, an approach to read and interpret key parts of their genome. This genomic information can be used during the entire life of the animal in order to find the best mate to produce offspring according to the farmer’s expectations.Female genotyping allows for a higher genetic gain, a smaller mate co-ancestry and a reduced risk to conceive an embryo affected by a genetic defect thanks to more complete and reliable information to be used to optimize the matings. Considering farming systems specific breeding objectives when planning the matings further improves these results

Texte intégralImproving dairy cows’ welfare is a major challenge in response to citizen concerns. The present thesis aimed to identify (i) major welfare problems, (ii) which farm characteristics are associated with the impairment of welfare and (iii) which factors are associated with the impairment of human-animal relationships. We conducted an epidemiological survey and used the Welfare Quality R protocol to assess dairy cows’ welfare. In general, prevalence of lameness was low and cows had opportunities to walk. The absence of hunger and thirst and the expression of species-specific behaviors were achieved but variable between farms. Resting comfort, skin injuries, health, social behavior, cows’ emotional state and human-animal relationships were affected and variable. Disbudding was often performed without pain relief. The main risk indicators of poor cow welfare were farm location (for thirst), breed (hunger, social behavior), housing (resting comfort and skin injuries), the interaction housing-breed (emotional state) and location-milking system (expression of species-specific behaviors). Action plans should be designed according to farm types. The quality of the human-animal relationship was not associated with farm main characteristics, but to calving conditions, farmers’ attitudes and cows’ social behavior. In addition, we observed large variations between-cows in their responses to humans, suggesting that individual behavioral traits of cows play a major role

Texte intégralRecycled manure solids (RMS) (solid-liquid separation f fresh manure where the solid fraction is used as bedding) gain rising interest in Quebec’s dairy industry. However, RMS use’s associated risks on human and animal health are unknown. This study tried to identify the best composting method regarding to air quality in dairy barns. Four composting methods were tested: SW) static, TW) daily turned, DC24) static after 24 h in a drum composter and DC72) static after 72 h in a drum composter. Air sampling were done with a liquid sampler and a filter sampler at days 0, 5 and 10. Dust concentrations were measured by an optical particle counter. Microorganisms were analysed by culture (mesophilic bacteria and fungi, thermotolerant fungi) or by qPCR for total bacteria (16s rDNA) and Penicillium/Aspergillus (ITS1), as well for several pathogenic agents and a carbapeneme resistance gene (KPC). At day 0 and 5, SW, TW and DC24 lead to the lowest concentrations for dust and mesophilic fungi. Total bacteria were lower for SW and TW, while Penicillium/Aspergillus were lower for DC24. At day 5, DC24 and DC72 lead to the lowest concentrations for dust, while SW and TW lead to lower concentrations for mesophilic fungi, total bacteria and Penicillium/Aspergillus. At day 10, dust and Penicillium/Aspergillus were lower for SW and TW, while total bacteria were lower for DC72 and no mesophilic fungi did not differ. For the three sampling days, SW lead to lower concentration of mesophilic bacteria than DC72. No thermotolerant fungi or endotoxins results differ and no pathogenic agent or the carbapenem resistance gene were detected by qPCR. Thus, SW and TW seem to be the methods to privilege regarding air quality in dairy barns.

Texte intégralMany economic and climatic disruptions have influenced the Quebec dairy farms between 2000 and 2010. However, the incidence of these disruptions did not have the same effect on the financial health of the farms, as demonstrated by the disparity shown in their financial results. In order to obtain a better understanding of the presence of heterogeneity, the strategic behavior of the most efficient and the less efficient producers has been evaluated from two series of analysis, performed on eleven management strategies. The results showed that the producers of the head subgroup obtained better security margin, labour organization, dairy productivity and valorization of the fodder than the producers of the tail subgroup, regardless of the economic and climatic situation. It appears then, that their production structure and their strategic planning are more economically efficient and more capable of restraining the negative effects of disruptions.

Texte intégralMeat and dairy production are the first and second most polluting agronomic systems, respectively. In the dairy farms, the enteric fermentation and the crop production are the main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For this reason, the reduction of the fertilization and the dairy cows’ ration manipulation are the principal strategies used to decrease the N2O and CH4 emissions, respectively. The objective of this work was to evaluate the agro-environmental and economic impact of the strategies to decrease the GHG emissions of dairy production. For the study, the N-CyCLES model was used. It is a linear programming model in which three levels : agronomic, animal and economic are considered to find the best response (optimization) for a maximum net income or a minimum whole-farm balance of N or P; evaluating trade-offs between economic and environmental outcomes from mixed livestock-crop dairy systems. In the model, three virtual dairy farms were developed to represent the average farm of three regions of Canada: the Maritimes, Quebec/Ontario and the Prairies. For this, a data base from 166 farms of the Maritimes, from 113 farms of Quebec/Ontario and from 32 farms of the Prairies, was used. In the first study, the impact of a lower fertilization was simulated. To decrease the amount of fertilizer, the corn silage (CS) was substituted by sweet peal millet silage (SPM) in the three regions, and by sweet sorghum (SS) only in the virtual dairy farm of Quebec/Ontario. The results showed that the quantity of fertilizers declined with SPM and SS which decreased the total GHG emissions of the farm from 1 to 9 % as compared to CS. However, the N mass balance increased in the SPM scenario, but declined in the SS scenario. In addition, the farm net income (FNI) decreased from 5 to 21 % with SPM and SS in comparison with the CS scenario. In the second project, an equation to predict the enteric CH4emissions of dairy cows was developed. A database of 193 observations from 18 different treatments and 56 multiparous Holstein cows was created. In all experiments, enteric CH4 production was measured using individual respiration chambers. The dairy cows’ characteristics (dry matter intake [DMI], milk yield [MY], milk fat, milk protein and body weight [BW]) and diet characteristics (dry matter [DM], organic matter [OM], crude protein [CP], neutral detergent fiber [NDF], acid detergent fiber [ADF], gross energy [GE], ether extract [EE]and EE non-reactive in the rumen [rumen-inert fat] and starch) were used in a five-fold cross validation. The best-fit equation (r=0. 83, RMSE=40. 03) included MY, milk fat, milk protein, DMI, BW, NDF, starch and the difference between EE and Rumen-inert fat. This equation, in comparison with the IPCC Tier 2 equation allowed for a more accurate prediction of CH4 emissions from lactating dairy cows fed typical Canadian diets. Finally, in the third study, feeding strategies seeking to decrease enteric CH4 production were simulated to observe their agro-environmental and economic impact in the dairy farm. The supplementation with corn dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS), with linseed oil (LO) or both in a CS-based diet (CDL), and the substitution of CS by brown midrib corn silage (BMR) or both supplements in a BMR-based diet (BDL) were simulated. The enteric CH4 emissions decreased in each scenario, but total GHG emissions declined only in the LO, BMR and BDL scenarios, whilst in the DDGS and CDL scenarios the emissions were higher than in the CS scenario, Economically, each scenario, except DDGS scenario, decreased FNI. The results of this study showed that the different strategies to decrease the GHG emissions of a sector of the dairy farm (cropland, cow, manure for instance) can increase the emissions in other parts of the dairy chain production. In addition, the FNI declined for most of them which can represent a problem for their adoption by the dairy farmers.

Texte intégralThe growing gap between the market and economic values of Quebec farms makes the process of transferring farm assets to the next generation ever more complex. The limited ability of successors to pay and retiring farmers’ financial needs impede upon the flexibility needed to determine an appropriate selling price for the farm. The present study aims to analyze the determinants of the farm business selling price and shows that the selling price in our sample is significantly correlated to the seller’s net retirement needs and to a less significant degree, to the economic value of farm equity. Financial considerations seem to overshadow human aspects and considerable compromises are made on both sides of the transaction in order to insure the continuity of the farm. The determination of a selling price is also subject to the influence of external stakeholders, which implies a multiparty decision-making process rather than a conventional buyer/seller negotiation. From a general standpoint, dairy and non-dairy farms are faced with similar challenges with regards to farm assets pricing, suggesting that the issue is more a matter of management rather than a sector-specific one. Unless the gap is bridged between farms’ market value and their income generation capacity, pricing of farm businesses is likely to become increasingly onerous in the coming years for many farms in Quebec.

Texte intégralLes bactéries productrices d’exopolysaccharides (EPS) sont utilisées dans la fabrication du yogourt pour améliorer la viscosité, la texture et la rétention d’eau. Ces améliorations sont plutôt reliées aux propriétés intrinsèques des EPS et à leurs interactions avec les protéines qu'à leurs quantités. Dans plusieurs pays, les polysaccharides commerciaux (PS) sont autorisés comme agents stabilisants dans le yogourt. Les interactions EPS-PS peuvent aussi influencer positivement ou négativement les propriétés finales des yogourts. Malgré plusieurs études réalisées, la relation structure-fonction des EPS particulièrement dans les systèmes avec stabilisants a été peu étudiée et n’est pas entièrement comprise. Même les études portant sur le rôle de certaines propriétés intrinsèques des EPS ont été effectuées dans un système ne contenant que l'EPS. Les effets des EPS dans un système contenant des PS commerciaux sont encore non étudiés et donc inconnus. Ainsi, cette étude a été menée dans le but de mieux comprendre les effets de certaines propriétés intrinsèques des EPS produits in situ seuls ou en présence des PS commerciaux sur les propriétés rhéologiques, physiques et microstructurales du yogourt. Les résultats de cette étude ont montré que la charge négative de l'EPS ou PS contribue à l'amélioration de la fermeté et de la viscosité du yogourt mais augmente la synérèse. La rigidité, la linéarité et le poids moléculaire d'un EPS ou PS ont augmenté nettement la viscosité. Concernant la synérèse, les EPS ou PS neutres et rigides ont permis une très bonne amélioration de la capacité de rétention d'eau du yogourt par rapport au contrôle. Les résultats des PS utilisés avec la souche produisant un EPS anionique, rigide et linéaire n'ont pas montré d'effets majeurs sur la fermeté et la viscosité tandis qu’une diminution de la synérèse a été observée avec la pectine seulement. Une amélioration de la fermeté et de la viscosité a été observée lorsque les PS ont été utilisés avec les souches produisant des EPS neutres. L'amélioration de la viscosité était notamment plus importante avec les PS rigides. Les résultats de cette thèse ont rapporté, pour la première fois, des effets intéressants de certaines propriétés intrinsèques des EPS et/ou PS aussi bien dans la formation du gel laitier que sur les propriétés finales du yogourt. Ces résultats offrent aussi aux industriels et chercheurs laitiers des prémisses permettant de choisir les souches EPS+ et/ou PS afin de corriger ou améliorer une ou plusieurs propriétés spécifiques du yogourt.
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) producing exopolysaccharides (EPS) are widely used in yogurt to improve viscosity, texture and water retention capacity. These improvements were shown to be related to the intrinsic properties of EPS and their interactions with proteins rather than to their concentration. Additionally, in many countries, commercial PS are used as stabilizers in yogurt. The co-presence of in situ-produced EPS and PS could also positively or negatively influence the properties of yogurt. Up to now, the structure-function relationship of EPS has not been widely studied and is still poorly understood. This context is more challenging since all studies on the role of some intrinsic properties of EPS have been carried out in systems containing only EPS. The effects of EPS in a system containing commercial PS are still unknown. In this context this study was performed to understand the effects of some intrinsic properties of EPS produced in situ by lactic acid bacteria used alone or in the presence of commercial PS on the rheological (gel formation, firmness and viscosity), physical (syneresis) and microstructural properties of yogurt. The results obtained in this study showed that the negative charge of the PS or EPS contributed to both yogurt firmness and viscosity improvements but increased syneresis. The backbone stiffness and linearity as well as the molecular weight of PS or EPS increased yogurt viscosity. Moreover, the neutral and stiff EPS or PS were able to improve yogurt water retention capacity as compared to control. The use of PS with an anionic, rigid and linear EPS producing strain, did not show major effects on both yogurt firmness and viscosity. However, only pectin was able to improve water retention capacity. The addition of PS to yogurt fermented by neutral EPS-producing strains improved viscosity and firmness. The highest viscosity values were obtained with stiff PS. Results of this thesis reported for the first time interesting effects of some EPS and/or PS intrinsic properties in both gel formation and final yogurt properties. Such results would also help dairy manufacturers and researchers to choose the suitable EPS+ strain/PS combination to correct or improve specific properties of yogurt.

Texte intégralThe notion of sustainability is included in the development of agriculture by integrating three dimensions, which are environment, economy and society. However, there are few tools for assessing farm level sustainability in the North American context. The overall objective of the research was to develop a method for assessing the global sustainability of Quebec dairy farms based on agri-environmental, technical-economic and social indicators as a self-assessment and decision-aid tool. To achieve this objective, the same methodology was used for each dimension of sustainability. The components of sustainability for each dimension were identified and defined, as well as indicators to assess the status of each component. To accomplish this, experts in the agricultural sector, including researchers, stakeholders and farmers, were consulted using two participatory processes that are the Delphi technique and the focus group. For each component, a scoring system, reference values for the indicators and weighting of these were elaborated to obtain a score for each farm. This assessment method, named DELTA, comprises a set of 43 indicators. The indicators were tested on 40 dairy farms of two contrasting agricultural regions. Finally, a validation by the user was conducted among the farmers that participated in the process from the beginning of the project. This validation consisted of three sections: the perception of the process, the consistency of the results and the utility of the tool. The results of the indicators were integrated using radar graphs, the latter allowing the rapid identification of strengths and areas for improvement for each farm. The three dimensions were equally weighted, while the weighting of components within each dimension may be different. The results demonstrate that similar farms by herd size and acreage may have different levels of sustainability. The self-assessment tool will track the evolution of a farm relative to the assessment of its sustainability and this, due to the sensitivity of the method to changes in practices that farmers will bring on to their business.

Texte intégralToxoplasma gondii is the protozoan parasite responsible for toxoplasmosis, a zoonosis infecting humans and other endothermic animals. Livestock farms are considered high-risk sites for T. gondii transmission to hosts and they represent reservoirs of environmental contamination in rural areas. The aim of this study was to investigate the infection dynamics of T. gondii in cat populations by surveying five dairy farms using multi-event capture–mark–recapture models. The results showed that the rates of T. gondii infection in cats varied between farms. Infection rates were higher in autumn and winter compared to the rest of the year. The spatial distribution of soil contaminated by T. gondii on six farms was assessed using quantitative PCR on soil samples and analyzed in relation to the spatio-temporal pattern of faeces deposition by cats. Although there was wide spatial distribution of T. gondii in the soil of the farms, cat defecation sites were revealed to be high-risk areas for T. gondii transmission. The level of contamination in these sites depended on their location and characteristics of cats that use them, which were both influenced by the location of the main cats feeding site in the farms. This study demonstrated that T. gondii exposure varies from one farm to another. Infection risk is also heterogeneous within a farm and is driven by the spatio-temporal pattern of deposition of cat faeces
