This paper Reports on both the individual and combined effects of age at first caving (AFC) and live weight at first calving (LWFC) for crossbred heifers (Friesian x Zebu) on first lactation Milk yield. Optimal health and nutrition management was followed. Fifty one heifers were allocated to youn...

The effect. of genotype (50% 75% and 87.50, levels of milk (2 and 3 1/day) and types of housing (Barn and Hutch) were examined using 38 Boran x Friesians crossbred calves (Bos Taurus x Bos indicus). Calves were offered supplement diet (180 g/kg CP and 100g/kg roughage) and were weaned until their...

The effect of genotype (50%, 75% and 87.50, levels of milk (2 and 3 1/day) and types of housing (Barn and Hutch) on growth and survival were examined using thirty four crossbred calves Boran x Freisian (Bos Taurus x Bos indicus). Calves had access to a complete diet supplement (180 g/kg CP and 10...
