A 45-d experiment was conducted to evaluate two breeding ages of Hereford heifers, 18 (18M) or 24 months (24M), using natural mating. The following parameters were studied: pregnancy rate (PR), body condition score at the beginning of the mating season (BCS), and average daily gain in the mating season (ADG). It was also calculated the productivity (P) = total kg of weaned calf per number of heifers bred and efficiency (E) = productivity per 100 kg of heifers mated. The […]
