The lifetime fertility of a breeder is said to be influenced by date of conception as a heifer (Donaldson 1968) and there are divergent opinions on optimum time for conception. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of time of conception as a heifer and rainfall patterns on the long-term conception pattern of a herd. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | RAAN 2003: Recent Advances in Animal Nutrition in Australia, Armidale, Australia, 13th - 16th July, 2003 | Source of Publication: | Recent Advances in Animal Nutrition in Australia, v.14, p. 4A-4A | Publisher: | University of New England | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | ISSN: | 0819-4823 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070206 Animal Reproduction | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830301 Beef Cattle | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/33151111?selectedversion=NBD41064497 |
