AB  - The behaviour of calves is a response to stimuli from the
environment causing movement, actions and changes in body position,
affecting the health and welfare of the animals. We distinguish four categories
of physiological behaviour:
- Behaviour related to basic needs such as movement, nutrition, rest and sleep.
- Exploratory behaviour that enables getting to know the living environment.
- Territorial behaviour and protection of safety and social order.
- Sexual and parental behaviour for the protection of the genome and the
extension of the species.
The positive emotional state of animals is manifested through the freedom to
express these forms of behaviour and social contact with other individuals,
which reduces stress and fear. The goal of the care for animal welfare is to
minimize exposure to negative emotions by optimizing these factors.
The present study, carried out on two farms with an intensive system of
housing and rearing calves up to 30 days of age, showed significant weaknesses
and deficiencies in the way calves are kept immediately after birth, up to 7 days
of age. Namely, of 9 forms of physiological behaviour, 5 rated 1 or 2. The
situation was somewhat better in the age category of calves between 8 and 30
days, where only one form, reproductive behaviour, was absolutely impossible.
In order to improve the quality of calf welfare, it is necessary to provide better
rearing conditions that would enable the manifestation of basic physiological
forms of behaviour.

AB  - Milk fat content stands out as a crucial production trait in cows, and this study delves into its variability based on various factors. The
research investigated how the housing method (large farm or individual producers), origin (domestic-rearing or imported cows), and
calving season collectively impact this trait. Cows reared on the farm exhibited a higher milk fat content compared to those raised by
individual producers. Additionally, primiparous cows from domestic rearing displayed lower milk fat content than their counterparts
of imported origin. Among primiparous cows on the farm, those calving in the summer and autumn produced the highest milk fat
content. Conversely, primiparous cows calving in the spring season and raised by individual producers recorded the lowest milk fat
content. The statistical analysis revealed a highly significant influence of calving season, with a noteworthy interaction among housing
method and origin on the observed trait. The significance ranged from statistically highly significant (P ≤ 0.01) to statistically very
highly significant (P ≤ 0.001).

AB  - The term heat stress in mammals implies the sum of environmental influences that cause an increase in the body temperature of the organism. In dairy cow breeds, heat stress primarily reduces milk yield and milk quality, and then impairs fertility, welfare and causes changes in behaviour. This has especially come into the focus in recent years with the increasingly pronounced consequences of climate change. The aim of the research was to determine the effects of various fixed factors on milk yield performance traits of cows: MY – daily milk yield (kg/day), MF - milk fat content (%) and MP - milk protein content (%). The total data set contained test-day information for the analyzed traits during the summer period, and the effects of breed, breeding location, order and stage of lactation, year and season of calving, as well as the month of control were investigated. From the total set, selected data were used that correspond to the values of the daily temperature-humidity index of at least 72 (THI≥72), as an indicator of the occurrence of heat stress. Manifestation and variability of the studied traits, as well as the influence of individual factors on the studied traits, was determined using appropriate procedures within the SAS statistical program. High
statistical significance of all factors included in the model was established (p<0.001). Cows achieved the highest daily milk yield if they calved during the spring season, in their third lactation and in the interval of the second stage (61-120 days) of lactation. Milk yield decreased during the summer months from June to September. The fat content was the lowest in cows which calved in the spring season, during the first
lactation and the first stage of lactation (<60 days), it was lower during July, August and September compared to the month of June. During the summer, the protein content decreased from June to August,
while it increased in the subsequent stages of lactation. The stressogenic impact of the summer period on
milk production in cows is present every year to a greater or lesser extent, depending on a combination of several factors. Research confirms that the risk of heat stress, in addition to the summer period, is often
present from April until October.
