Early weaning beef calves.

Early weaning is a management practice that reduces grazing pressure on pastures by decreasing the nutrient requirements of cows. Calves that are weaned early are relatively efficient at converting feed to gain, and can weigh as much, or more than, calves allowed to remain with their dams until a conventional weaning age is reached. Balanced diets with excellent physical, chemical, and palatabi...

Calf Management Strategies and Reproductive Performance in a Northern Australian Cattle Herd

One hundred and sixty seven Droughtmaster cows with calves were used in two experiments to evaluate the effect of early weaning and creep feeding on cow reproduction rates. Weaning of calves that weighed 48-92 kg instead of the conventional weaning weight of about 180 kg improved cow live weights and increased pregnancy rates by 48% at weaning. The early weaned calves were raised on Stylosanthe...

Effects of Feeding Different Levels of Flaxseed on Performance, Nutrient Digestibility and Blood Parameters of Pre-Weaning Calves

   In this experiment, we used 15 newborn Holstein male calves that their initial weight was 41 ± 4.5 kg and their age was one week. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three treatments and five replications. Treatments included: 1- control treatment without flaxseed, 2- treatment containing 5% flaxseed and 3- treatment containing10% flaxseed. Flaxseed replaced ...

Nutrition, Feeding, and Calves

Sixteen Holstein cows in midlactation were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square design to determine the effect of replacing alfalfa neutral detergent fiber (NDF), with NDF from a combination of whole linted cottonseed, dried distillers grains, and wheat middlings. The four diets were a basal control diet that was low in forage and fiber [(5.9 g of corn silage NDF and 6.1 g of alfalfa NDF/100 g of dry m...

Nutrition, Feeding, and Calves

The objectives of this study were: 1) to evaluate the National Research Council equation used to predict microbial N flow to the duodenum in lactating cows, and 2) to determine whether improved equations could be developed by using dietary parameters used in the field. Treatment means from 55 trials with lactating and nonlactating cattle with duodenal cannulas were subjected to the backward eli...
