Effects of Weaning Age on Plasma Biomarkers and Growth Performance in Simmental Calves

Effects of Weaning Age on Plasma Biomarkers and Growth Performance in Simmental Calves

Weaning plays a key role in health status and future performance of calves. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of weaning age (Wa), early (45 d, EW) or conventional (60 d, CW), on growth performance and metabolic profile of ten Simmental calves (5 EW and 5 CW calves).
