An assessment of the biological and economic efficiency in conversion of milk to growth in N'Dama calves
Two groups of light N'Dama calves were fed different quantities of milk from birth to 10 months of age to compare efficiencies fo converting milk to live-weight gain, and to assess the economic efficiencies of the two feeding regimes. Group one receives an average of 347 kg per calf, with a daily an...
