LifeStart
Lifetime production
Key takeaways from the research:
- A LifeStart feeding schedule in Holstein dairy calves increases milk production and increases milk fat yield per day in the first and second lactation
- A LifeStart calf feeding schedule reduces the involuntary culling rate in first and second lactation
- The increase in milk production and the lower culling rate found in animals reared according to a LifeStart calf rearing programme will result in an increase in lifetime production of Holstein cows
