Presents animal productivity parameters and discusses the methods and reliability. Includes calving rate & interval, age at first calving, reproductive life of cows, seasonality of calving, mortality, herd structure, milk production, growth & liveweight.
Assesses the repeatability and reproducibility of a condition scoring system. Presents results from an analysis of sequential condition scoring of cattle over a dry season to show differences between treatments and trends over time.
