Lifetime under-nutrition and lactation performance of Zebu and Zebu x Holstein cows in the tropics
Insufficient feed supply is a major limiting factor for milk production in the tropics. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of feeding level on live-weight and performance of Zebu (Boran) and crossbred (Boran × Holstein, 50–75% Holstein) lactating cows. Twenty-four heifers of each b...
