Title: | Interactions between gestation length, calf size, dystocia and calf mortality | Contributor(s): | McClintock, Sara (author); Beard, K T (author); Goddard, M E (author); Johnston, David (author) | Publication Date: | 2005 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/4573 | Abstract: | In general, longer gestation lengths tend to result in larger calves, more calving difficulty and increased calf mortality rates. However, the relationships are complex, with increased calf mortality rates following short gestation lengths being associated with immaturity, whilst increased calf mortality rates following long gestation lengths are associated with size-related calving difficulty. These analyses were based on calving records of 134,141 Holstein-Friesian cows and calves. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AAABG 2005: 16th Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Noosa Lakes, Australia, 25th - 28th September, 2005 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, v.16, p. 275-278 | Place of Publication: | Collingwood, Australia | ISSN: | 1328-3227 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830302 Dairy Cattle | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.aaabg.org/livestocklibrary/2005/275mcclintock.pdf http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/13321110 |
