Guidelines Toward More Uniformity in Measuring and Reporting Calf Experimental Data¹

University of Nebraska, Lincoln 68583

ABSTRACT

Standardized procedures for measuring and reporting calf performance data are presented. The North Central Regional Research Committee on Improving Large Dairy Herd Management (NC-119) encourages researchers to consider these guidelines in designing, conducting, and reporting results of calf experiments. Greater uniformity in defining the conditions and results of the studies would aid in making more meaningful comparisons.

¹ These guidelines were developed as a part of regional research project NC-119, Improving Large Dairy Herd Management Practices. Published as Paper Number 5228, Journal Series, Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station.
