Embryonic loss for heifers and cows Santos et al. (2004)
Methods • Pregnant Holstein dairy heifers (n = 43) were randomly assigned to one of two groups. • After calving: • One group was dried off immediately (not milked; nonlactating). • The other group was milked normally (twice daily; lactating). • Slaughter at 28, 35, or 42 d of pregnancy.
