Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc. | The use of alternative bedding for three months has shown the effect of reduced environmental infection pressure, which was reflected in an increased number of healthy quarters with a negative CMT score and a reduced incidence of subclinical mastitis in dairy cows. However, the production of RMS and its addition together with other ingredients (water, straw and limestone) to bedding is not a standard practice for dairy farmers in Slovakia. The use of RMS is relatively new and different compositions, materials and production methods still need to be compared in combination with the presence of indicator microorganisms and the health status of dairy cows. The combination of RMS with limestone and straw, as well as their technological processing, is a suitable alternative solution for reducing environmental infection pressure. Improving the bedding composition had a significant impact on reducing faecal contamination and the number of mastitis cases. |

| OCA16. Annotation of the output in English | The aim of this study was to compare an improved bedding composition with conventional straw bedding under farm conditions, regarding its effects on the influence of indicator microorganisms on the hygiene levels of cubicle floors and the occurrence of mastitis in dairy cows. Dairy cows were housed in newly built stalls divided into two parts, each with four subsections, and bedded cubicles arranged in three rows. Five stall subsections from each 9-bedded cubicle were selected for study, and 30 dairy cows were monitored according to the time intervals of bedding treatment for cubicles. In the first subsection (control), the cows were housed in bedded cubicles layered with straw up to a height of 20 cm. Sections 2–5 had alternative bedding (AB) as follows: fresh AB, AB 1 month old, AB 2 months old, and AB 3 months old, which were bedded one day before (fresh) and 1–3 months before the actual observation period, respectively. The alternative bedding per one cubicle consisted of ground limestone (100 kg), water (80 L), recycled manure solids (RMS; 15 kg), and straw (25 kg). After laying, the bedding was treated with a concrete selector to provide strength and sufficient resistance. |

| OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practice | This study investigated the impact of alternative bedding composition used on a dairy farm on indicator microorganisms affecting hygiene levels compared to conventional straw bedding under farm conditions. Litter samples collected from the monitored sub-sections and selected pens showed reduced TVC and CB counts in the alternative bedding composition one day old and in the first two months after its placement. In addition to TVC and CB, reduced FCB and FS counts were also recorded in the alternative bedding one day old and in the first, second and third months after its use. In addition to the reduction in the number of microorganisms, the improved bedding had a stabilizing effect on maintaining the bedding thickness up to the floor barrier (200 mm), which also had a beneficial effect on reducing the level of faecal contamination of the bedding. |
