This study aimed to evaluate the effects related to the high occurrence (18%) of Guzerá newborn calves that failed to suckle (FS) after birth. Data from 1527 births recorded from 1992 to 2004 were analyzed by a fixed effects model using the probit linking function with the GENMOD procedure of SAS®. An animal model including direct and maternal additive genetic and cow permanent environment effects was also used to estimate genetic parameters for FS by quasi-restricted maximum likelihood. Cows with […]

The effects on the performance of calves submitted to: a) three treatments, consisted of post-partum stocking rates (CA) of 240 kg of live weight (LW)/ha (treatment 1, T1), of 320 kg of LW/ha (T2), both on natural pastures, and of 400 kg of LW/ha on improved pasture of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) during the first 80 days post-partum, and after on natural pasture at the same stocking rate as T2 afterwards (T3); b) two weaning ages, consisted of weaning […]
