Use of serum protein concentration to predict mortality in mixed-source dairy replacement heifers
The relationship between serum protein concentration in the 1st week of life and survival to 16 weeks of age was examined in 3,479 Holstein replacement heifers over a period of 10 years on a farm with endemic salmonellosis. Thirty‐four percent of calves studied had serum protein concentrations 5.5 g...

Zusammenfassung: | The relationship between serum protein concentration in the 1st week of life and survival to 16 weeks of age was examined in 3,479 Holstein replacement heifers over a period of 10 years on a farm with endemic salmonellosis. Thirty‐four percent of calves studied had serum protein concentrations 5.5 g/dL. The highest RR was experienced by calves with serum protein concentrations |
