Overview

Analysis reveals milk quality significantly influences growth metrics in replacement heifers, highlighting key feeding strategies.

Key Points

  • Using milk from cows in fading lactation stages enhances absolute weight gain in heifers during preweaning.
  • Heifers receiving this milk gained an average of 875 g daily, surpassing those fed milk from cows in higher yield stages.
  • Preweaning growth depends heavily on milk quality, underscoring the importance of nutrition during these crucial months.
  • This research provides insights into optimizing feeding practices for improved heifer growth outcomes.
