Event Title
Phenotype X Herbage Allowance Interactions in Reproduction of First Calf Heifers Grazing Semiarid Rangeland
Description
Cattle are differentially adapted to nutritional environments. The most sensitive measure of adaptation is reproduction of first-calf heifers. We studied the role of maturation rate and milk production on reproductive performance of first-calf heifers allowed different levels of herbage in semiarid rangeland.
