Effect of Frequent Feeding on Weight Gain Response in Young Dairy Heifers1

B. Clark2 and H. A. Keener

Department of Dairy Science, University of New Hampshire, Durham

ABSTRACT

In four successive trials, weight gain was observed on growing Holstein heifers as a result of feeding 24 x or 10 x vs. 2 x daily. Both restricted and unrestricted systems for governing feed intake were employed. Frequent feeding induced faster weight gain only when the rations were quantitatively restricted, and only for a period of 30 to 38 days. There were no significant differences in feed consumption between treatment and control animals.
