Compared with the other treatments, SSC contents of 100 l carvacrol treated grapes at 60 days storage time were the highest, and untreated control grape at 100 days storage time were the lowest (Fig 1D). Untreated grape fruit at 100 days storage time was the highest respiration rate values and the lowest values were obtained 250 l and 1000 l carvacrol treated grapes. The highest a* value was 6.01 with 100 l carvacrol treated grape while the lowest a* values were 3.03 with 250 l carvacrol and 3.58 with 1000 l carvacrol treatments. [Extracted from the article]

The performance of automatic milking system (AMS) units on three farms with free and directed cow traffic was examined in this study. Farm A housed 123 Holstein cows and used free traffic. Farms B and C housed 104 and 102 Holstein cows, respectively, and both used milk-first-cow traffic. Daily milking frequency per cow was highest on Farm B (2.85), followed by Farm C (2.69), and Farm A (2.36). Although the daily milking rate per cow was lowest on Farm A, the daily milking yield was higher than those on the other two farms (Farm B, 25.30 kg; Farm C, 24.33 kg) with 27.33 kg. The number of daily refusals was significantly higher on Farm A (34.93) compared to refusals on the other two farms (P<0.05). The hourly milking capacities of the two AMS were lowest throughout the day on Farm A (4.4 visits), followed by Farms B and C, with 6.5 and 7.2 visits, respectively. AMS loading was higher on Farm A (78.09%) than on the other farms, which reduced the time wasted on Farm A by 15.23%. Most cows were milked two to four times daily on Farms B and C and one to two times daily on Farm A. A cow-traffic system must be chosen at the beginning of the investment. No traffic type is inherently better than any other. Farmers must be able to choose the appropriate cow traffic system for their farm, lifestyle, and labor qualification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
