Three experiments were conducted in successive years using 32, 53 and 74 crossbred suckler cows respectively, in a semi-arid area close to Nairobi, Kenya. The cows were mated seasonally to calve approximately 1 month before the rainy season (March to May). A 2 X 2 factorial experimental design wi...
