Reproductive Management of Beef Cattle in North Eastern Victoria
نویسنده
چکیده
Beef producers in the Benalla district of north east Victoria rarely practice management strategies to maintain high fertility in their breeding herds. This is evidenced by the low level of reproductive performance in beef herds in the district (Sykes and Ada 1980). Trapnell and Ada (1981) found that beef producers do not consider fertility to be a problem in their herds. However, they found that producers did not know accurate calving percentages or the number of breeders in their herds.
