Functional Analysis Of Age-Weight Gain And Age-Feed Consumption In Brown Swiss And Holstein Calves, Ömer Akbulut, Bahri̇ Bayram
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This research was carried out to determine the amount of concentrate and hay consumed during the milk feeding period and the weaning age of Brown Swiss and Holstein calves. Twenty-five Brown Swiss and twenty Holstein Friesian calves were used. Calves reached 500 g and 1000 g/daily calf starter feed consumption at 36.5 ± 1.8 and 53.8 ± 1.2 days-old respectively. Also, gains in live weight and daily feed consumption depending upon age were studied functionally. Linear and quadratic models accurately explained the live weight, daily feed consumption and consumption of calf starter feed according to age, and consumption of hay …

The Effects Of Weaning Age On The Growth, Milk And Milk Fat Characteristics Of Brown Swiss Cattle, Mete Yanar, Recep Aydin
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
In this research, the effects of early weaning on the growth rate and milk production characteristics of Brown Swiss cattle in later years were investigated. The calves used in the study were weaned at 5, 7 and 9 weeks of age, and the weights obtained at 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 months of age were not significantly affected by the age of weaning. The weight gains determined between 6 and 18 months of ages with 3-month intervals were also not significantly affected by the different ages of weaning. The various ages of weaning did not result in a significant …
