A Study of the Factors Affecting the Growth of Dairy Heifers

Part II

Department of Dairy Husbandry, New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, New Brunswick, New Jersey

ABSTRACT

Conclusion: Calves can be successfully raised on a dry grain mixture after being weaned from milk at thirty days of age. On a sound dry grain mixture and alfalfa hay fed ad libitum these calves will be 100 per cent normal for weight and height when compared to Eckles normal figures. A dry grain ration will cut the feed costs on raising calves to six months of age from twenty-five to fifty dollars depending on the feeding methods used. This method of feeding saves labor costs and does not harm the breeding or productive ability of the individuals.
