A system for optimising the production performance of a milk producing animal herd is provided. The system comprises a milk sampling apparatus, an analytical apparatus comprising separate equipment for analyzing compounds or parameters that in the presence of compounds indicative of the physiological or nutritional condition of the herd member, generates detectable signals, and apparatus directing a part of the milk sample (directing apparatus) to each separate equipment, which is controlled by data for the physiological and nutritional state of a herd member, so that the directing apparatus is only activated at pre-selected points in time or at pre-selected time intervals in the production and/or lactation cycles. Specific compounds are compounds indicative of mastitis, including beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase (NAGase) E.C. 3.2.1.52 and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), protein balance, including milk urea nitrogen (MUN) and total protein, ketosis, including acetolactate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetone and lipids, fat and state in reproduction cycle, including a steroid or peptide hormone, e.g., progesterone. Furthermore, the system comprises equipment for signal detection to record and process the signals, equipment to store data and equipment to produce data output. Methods for optimizing the production performance of a milk producing animal herd and an apparatus therefor.

System for optimizing the production of a milk producing animal herd

A pressure sensitive adhesive composition suitable for medical purposes comprising a rubbery elastomeric base and one or more water soluble or water swellable hydrocolloids, the adhesive composition comprising a substantially homogeneous mixture of 35-50% of one or more polybutenes, 5-20% of one or more styrene copolymers, and 20-60% of one or more hydrocolloids has very good properties as an adhesive for ostomy appliances.

Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Composition

A pressure sensitive adhesive composition suitable for medical purposes comprising a rubbery elastomeric base and one or more water soluble or water swellable hydrocolloids, the adhesive composition comprising a substantially homogeneous mixture of 15-60% of a butyl rubber, 15-60% of one or more tackifier resins, 1-10% of a tackifying liquid constituent, 20-60% of one or more hydrocolloids and 0-3% of a pigment shows very good properties as an adhesive for ostomy appliances.

Pressure sensitive adhesive composition

A pressure sensitive adhesive composition suitable for application to human or animal skin comprising a conjugated diene polymer, a polyvinyl pyrrolidone polymer or a polyvinyl pyrrolidine vinylacetate copolymer, optionally one or more hydrocolloids and optionally a physically cross-linked elastomer selected from block-copolymers comprising styrene and one or more butadienes improves the rate of absorption of water and improves the integrity of the adhesive composition as well as the tack of an adhesive agent on wet skin.
