THE RATE OF GROWTH OF THE DAIRY COW : EXTRAUTERINE GROWTH IN WEIGHT
1Department of Dairy Husbandry, University of Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station, Columbia.
Abstract:
The growth period of the Jersey and Holstein cows is made up of at least three cycles, two extrauterine cycles with maxima at about 5 and 20 months of age, and one intrauterine cycle, the maximum of which has not yet been determined. The equation of an autocatalytic monomolecular reaction was found to give very good results when applied to the cycle having its maximum at about 5 months of age. The values obtained from this equation when applied to the cycle having the maximum at about 20 months of age were higher than the observed values probably due to the retarding effect of pregnancy and lactation on growth.
