Relationship between frequent milking or suckling in early lactation and milk production of high producing dairy cows
U. Bar-Pelled,U. Bar-Pelled,E. Maltz,E. Maltz,I. Bruckental,I. Bruckental,Y. Folman,Y. Folman,Y. Kali,Y. Kali,H. Gacitua,H. Gacitua,A.R. Lehrer,A.R. Lehrer,C.H. Knight,C.H. Knight,B. Robinson,B. Robinson,Hillary Voet,Hillary Voet,H. Tagari,H. Tagari +21 more
TL;DR: The failure of suckled cows to increase feed intake to match output requires further investigation, as high milk production was associated with elevated growth hormone, IGF-I, prolactin, and oxytocin, although cause and effect could be established.
Journal ArticleDOI
Winter grazing system and supplementation during late gestation influence performance of beef cows and steer progeny.
TL;DR: Data support a late gestation dam nutrition effect on calf production via fetal programming after effects of cow wintering system and last trimester CP supplementation on performance of beef cows and steer progeny over a 3-yr period are evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Weight Gain and Effects on Production Parameters of Holstein Heifer Calves That Were Allowed to Suckle from Birth to Six Weeks of Age
U. Bar-Peled,U. Bar-Peled,B. Robinzon,Ephraim Maltz,H. Tagari,Y. Folman,I. Bruckental,Hillary Voet,H. Gacitua,A.-R. Lehrer +9 more
TL;DR: Heifer calves that suckled milk during the first 42 d of age had higher average daily gains, higher height at the withers, an earlier age at calving, and a tendency for greater milk production than did calves fed milk replacer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of dietary energy on milk production and metabolic hormones in thin, primiparous beef heifers.
TL;DR: A greater proportion of net energy is partitioned to maternal tissue realimentation when cows receive high compared to low-, maintenance-, or moderate-energy diets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-sucking and other oral behaviours in calves, and their relation to cow suckling and food provision
TL;DR: It is concluded that cross-sucking of artificially-reared calves, which is derived from motivation to perform sucking in the inguinal region, can be prevented by providing short access to either the calf's darn or another cow, for two short periods each day.

Seasonal Change in Nutritive Value of Bluestem Pastures
TL;DR: Esophageally fistulated steers were used to determine organic matter intake and digestibility of bluestem pastures during the summer grazing season and only crude protein and aciddetergent fiber were highly correlated with digestibility.

Factors influencing milk yield of beef cattle
TL;DR: In this article, the joint and separate effects of several cow-calf variables on milk yield were studied with 176 and 201 beef cows from the University of Alberta beef breeding herd for 1966 and 1967, respectively.
