Calf Removal: A Way to Stimulate Reproduction in Cows
Abstract
Cows that are slow to breed or fail to breed are costly to producers. One of the factors that delays the resumption of estrous activity in a cow--and subsequent breeding--is nursing stress. Removing a calf from a dam, either short-term or permanently, can reduce such stress. This publication discusses the conditions that warrant altering nursing activity and methods to do so
