Innovative look at dairy heifer rearing: Effect of prenatal and post-natal environment on later performance.

Reproduction in domestic animals = Zuchthygiene - 1 Aug 2017

Van Eetvelde M, Opsomer G

Abstract excerpt

As heifer rearing is a costly investment, dairy farmers have been stimulated to maximize early growth of their calves, mainly by enhanced liquid feeding. However, the long-term effects of this "accelerated growth" are largely unknown. Studies recently performed at Ghent University indicate that in dairy cattle, certain maternal factors (such as young age and high milk yield) and environmental factors (such as...
