Pre-weaning diet and stall weaning method influences on stress response in foals
The response of foals to the stress of weaning was examined in terms of a behavioral protocol and the responses of plasma ascorbate, serun1 cortisol, and the serum cortisol response to an ACTH challenge. Behavior scores (1 to 10) as an index of stress were assigned to each foal daily, with high …

Weaning Management Systems for Beef Production
… were conducted to determine the effects of weaning management system on steer growth and carcass traits. In year one of Study 1, cow-calf pairs were randomly assigned to one of three treatments, where the steer calves were: (1) weaned at 168 d of age and placed on a finishing diet (EW), (2) …

The Effects of Low Stress Cattle Handling and Weaning Training on Post-Weaning Weight Gain and Calf Activity
… gain and calf activity associated with the weaning process. Cattle were of Angus and Angus cross breeding from two separate herds in Virginia. Handlers for the LS groups went through a short training session. Handlers for the Control (C) groups did not have any special training and handled …

Evaluation of Weaning Stress in Beef Calves
… within the beef cattle industry involve weaning the calf from the dam when the calf is about 205 days of age. Weaning induces a stress-response that is implicated in reducing the health and productivity of newly weaned calves. Our goal was to evaluate the impact of weaning on the stress …

Indoor Versus Outdoor Calf Rearing at Three Weaning Ages
<p>In order to be profitable, a dairy herb must have good heifers to meet replacement needs. According to USDA (51), these needs are substantial because 25% of the cows in an average herd must be replaced each year as they no longer return a profit. Meeting these herd replacement needs has long …

Early weaning and other methods of intensive lamb production
Early weaning onto pasture, separate grazing for ewes and lambs on pasture, and weaned and nonweaned lambs in a drylot were compared with control groups of ewes and lambs grazed together at Blacksburg and Glade Spring in 1960 and 1961. Data were available on 457 lambs for average daily gain and …

Fetal programming effects of early weaning on subsequent calf performance
… kg) were used to evaluate the effects of early weaning on subsequent calf growth performance and carcass characteristics. Cows were assigned to 1 of 2 treatments based on their previous calf’s weaning age: 1) early wean (EW) or 2) conventional wean (CW). The EW treatment had a steer calf weaned …
