The data on age at first calving for 539 records of crossbred cows differentfilial/genetic groups were considered the present investigation. These crossbreds belonged to eightfilial/genetic (F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7 and F8) maintained Livestock Experiment StationQadirabad District Sahiwal from 1991 2014 (24 years). duration 24 year was divided into 6periods (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 P6) four years ...

Story in Brief Seasonal differences and growth rates were studied on 60 Hereford and Angus bulls born in the spring and fall calving seasons at Oklahoma State University. Hip height, scrotal circumference and weight measurements were taken over the two IO-month experiments. Season of birth had no influence on scrotal circumference for either Hereford or Angus bulls. Season of birth in Angus bul...

Test day (TD) records of milk production traits (milk yield, fat, and protein percentages) of 534 Italian buffalo cows were analyzed with a mixed linear model in order to estimate lactation curves pertaining to different ages at calving and different seasons of calving. Milk yield lactation curves of younger animals were lower than those of older animals until 20 wk from parturition. No effect ...

Introduction. Numerous studies of domestic scientists testify to the sometimes significant, but multidirectional influence year and season calving birth on formation milk productivity other economically useful traits. In our previous studies, it was established that at population level, among mentioned environmental factors, most significant phenotypic variability first-calf heifers is caused b...

This study was conducted to investigate the scenario of buffalo production and reproduction under different farming systems at Subarno Char, in the coastal area of Bangladesh. A total of 14 farms were randomly selected and studied for various traits live weight (LW); daily milk yield (DMY); lactation length (LL); lactation production (LP); calving interval (CI); gestation length (GL); post part...

The main reason for calving replacement heifers early is economics. Economic assessments (2) have demonstrated that heifer rearing cost increases $50.00 to $60.00 each month calving is delayed. In addition, older calving ages result in the need for more heifers for herd replacement. These classic concepts are presented in Table 1. Conceptually, as calving age is reduced there is a linear reduct...

effect of two fattening systems were studied on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of using of 66 fars native male kids in different ages. six kids were slaughtered at the first day of experiment and sixty kids were divided into two groups. the first group were kept in feedlot in individual pens and the second group grazed on rangeland, and after 3 months, were kept in feedlot in i...
