In the studies, the growth and development indicators of the Hereford young stock were studied, depending on the origin. The average daily growth of calf bulls aged 824±16.4 g, 8 months – 962.5±14.6 g, 9 months – 981.5±18.6 g, 12 months – 986.1±19.2 g. The height at hips of calf bulls aged 205 days was 109±11.7 cm, 8 months – 111±9.4 g, 9 months – 112±6.8 cm, 12 months – 124±7.9 cm. The average daily increase in heifers aged 205 days was 853.6±11.3 g, 8 months – 854.2±17.5 g, 9 months – 870.3±18.2 g, 12 months – 850±10.5 g, 15 months – 831.1±15.6 g, 18 months – 777.8±16.5 g. The height at hips of calves aged 205 days was 106±9.8 cm, 8 months – 109±7.8 g, 9 months – 110±11.1 cm, 12 months – 118±8.9 cm, 15 months – 121±10.9 cm, 18 months – 125±13.2 cm. It was found that the growth rate of calves and calf bulls on fattening is influenced by the father genotype. When comparing the average live weight of young stock at the age of 18 months, the best results were in calf bulls received from the bull Perets 3989 – 375.8±17.5 kg, this is 3.8 kg more than the same indicator for calf bulls received from the bull Timeline 2930348, and 7.8 kg more than the bull Emulation 2909514, and by the live weight of heifers at the age of 18 months the leader is the Timeline 2930348- 352.6±25.2 kg.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
