Effect of Breeding Bulls on Growth Performance and Survivability of Brahman Crossbreds in Rural Areas of Bangladesh

Abstract: This research aimed to determine breeding bull effect on growth performance and survivability of Brahman crossbreds (50% local-50% Brahman). Conducted study used 687 records on crossbred calves from seven Brahman bull imported from USA. The data was collected from record sheet maintained by artificial insemination field workers of respective areas, then arranged and statistically analyzed. Birth weight, weight at one, six, nine, twelve, twenty four-month and average daily gain of crossbreds progeny was signifi… Show more

“…The season of birth of the calf did not affect both pre and post-weaning survivability in the present study similar to reports by [52] and [53]. For the season to affect the survivability of calves, the fluctuations in ambient temperature, humidity, and rainfall, which influence resource availability, climatic conditions, and overall stress levels in young calves should occur over a period of time, but in the present study, the season of birth encountered only the time when a calf born and while the management after birth were more or less the same.…”

“…In this study, the types of rearing of calves had significant effects on pre and post-weaning survivability which is in candid with findings reported by [52] and [58], where direct suckling or ad libitum milk-fed calves had lower survivability compared to bucket milk-fed calves. This might be caused by partial suckling, uniformity of amount of milk given to calf daily in direct suckling due to poor milking techniques by the attendant, and poor nutritional status of a dam.…”
