Understanding reproductive performance of replacement heifers is pivotal for sustainable and profitable farming in any cattle production system. The study assessed reproductive performance of smallholder beef cattle heifers focusing on pregnancy rate (PR); and fetal and calf loss (FCL). Additionally, it investigated herd management factors that influence these traits. A total of 538 heifer records were collected from 40 herds...
Risk factors underlining reproductive performance in smallholder beef cattle herds of South AfricaNARA Subscribed
Improving the historically low reproductive performance of beef cattle in smallholder systems is essential for its productivity and profitability. Therefore, identifying and addressing risk factors associated with low performance in this system present an opportunity for improvement. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of animal and management risk factors on pregnancy rate (PR), fetal and calf loss (FC), calving interval (...
