Relation Between Rate of Growth and Milk and Fat Production

University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska

ABSTRACT

An attempt was made to correlate rapidity of growth as indicated by gain in weight, by increase in height at withers, and by increase in chest girth from birth to two years, with milk and fat production for the first lactation and for the lifetime average of lactations. Seventy-six Holstein females in the University of Nebraska dairy herd were used. While the animals were apparently normal as compared with standards established in that herd, no apparent correlation was observable for any of the three measurements.
