“Heifers were fed CopRice calf starter, calf grower and heifer pellets, together with home-grown hay, to deliver an adequate intake of metabolisable protein to support bone and muscle development and allow puberty to be reached as early as possible.After mating, heifers were maintained on a growth rate of 900 g/day.”
