Improving growth rates in preweaning calves on dairy farms: A randomized controlled trial
ABSTRACT: Previous research has identified key factors associated with improved average daily gain (ADG) in preweaning dairy calves and these factors have been combined to create a web app–based calf health plan (www.nottingham.ac.uk/herdhealthtoolkit). A randomized controlled trial was conducted to...
