Extract

Reproduction is the main factor limiting the production efficiency of beef suckler cows and the prolonged post-partum interval is a major factor contributing to this poor reproductive performance. This interval is determined by a number of factors of which nutrition and the suckling effects of a calf are the most important. The aims of this experiment were to determine the effects of energy level post-partum and suckling on the PPI of cows in a low to moderate body condition at calving
