This study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between date of birth and growth performance of calves born to seasonally-bred range cows. Late born calves exhibited an apparent superiority in preweaning growth over that of their early-born counterparts. This was attributed to a positiv...

Effect of birth date on growth performance of calves of seasonally-bred range cattle
A study was conducted at the Asella Station in the Arsi Region of Ethiopia to investigate the dairy performance of indigenous purebred Arsi and Friesian X Arsi crosses under different pre-partum and post-partum supplementary feeding regimes. A total of 343 first-lactation animals were involved in...

A total of 26,233 calving records from three commercial ranches: Mogwooni, Galana and O'ljorai; located in high altitude, humid and low altitude, coastal, and medium altitude rangelands of Kenya, were available for the study over periods between 10 and 30 years. The traits studied were: age at fi...
