Effects of dam nutrition on growth and reproductive performance of heifer calves.
A 3-yr study was conducted with heifers (n = 170) whose dams were used in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments to determine the effects of late gestation (LG) or early lactation (EL) dam nutrition on subsequent heifer growth and reproduction. In LG, cows received 0.45 kg/d of a 42% CP supplement (PS) or no supplement (NS) while grazing dormant Sandhills range. During EL, cows from each l...
متن کاملDairy Heifer Development and Nutrition Management.
Heifer development depends on nutritional management decisions throughout all growing phases. Optimizing costs to raise heifers improves profitability of dairy farms. Feed costs for heifers make up 50% of heifer costs. Required growth rates depend on the desired age at first calving and estimated mature body weight. Intensive milk feeding improves calf growth and subsequent milk production. Pre...
متن کاملNutrition and brain development in early life.
Presented here is an overview of the pathway from early nutrient deficiency to long-term brain function, cognition, and productivity, focusing on research from low- and middle-income countries. Animal models have demonstrated the importance of adequate nutrition for the neurodevelopmental processes that occur rapidly during pregnancy and infancy, such as neuron proliferation and myelination. Ho...
متن کاملMetabolic programming by nutrition during early development.
Incidence of obesity and diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate not only among the populations of the affluent nations but also amongst the populations of the developing nations. Understanding the mechanisms that cause the onset of these pathological conditions is a requisite to effectively tackling this problem. In this context the role of early nutritional experiences as a causative facto...
