Effect of draught work on performance and metabolism of crossbred cows. 1. Effect of work and diet on body-weight change, body condition, lactation and productivity
Eighteen F1 crossbred dairy cows (Friesian X Boran and Simmental X Boran) were allocated to one of three diet groups (H: natural pasture hay; H + 3: natural pasture hay + 3 kg concentrate; and H + 5: natural pasture hay + 5 kg concentrate) using a stratified random sampling procedure, with parity...
