Linear versus seasonal growth of dairy heifers decreased age at puberty but did not affect first lactation milk production

Rhiannon C. Handcock et al.

Summary: The study found that Holstein-Friesian-Jersey crossbred heifers grown in a linear trajectory reached puberty 38 days earlier than those grown in a seasonal manner; there was no impact on first lactation milk production between different growth trajectories; however, heifers in the seasonal group were slightly taller than those in the target group.
