Effect of dam nutrition and suckling on lactation in Borana cows and growth in their Borana X Friesian crossbred calves in an early weaning system in Ethiopia
Fourty-four Borana X Friesian F1 crossbred calves born to Borana (Bos indicus) cows were randomly assigned to either suck their dams twice daily or bucket-feeding with 134 l. milk over a 57-day pre-weaning period.
