Providing adequate balanced nutrition to heifers from day one from their birth, is crucial for timely breeding. Dairy heifers should be fed a balanced diet with the correct amount of protein, energy, and minerals to promote growth and development.
To ensure timely breeding, it’s important to monitor heifer growth regularly. Dairy Heifers should be at least 55% of their expected mature weight before breeding. This can be monitored by regularly weighing them, measuring their height, and monitoring their body condition score.
It’s important to have a breeding plan in place to ensure timely breeding. This plan should include details on when heifers should be bred, which breeding method to use, preferably artificial insemination, and how to detect heat.
Accurately detecting heat is essential for timely breeding. Visual observation, tail painting, and electronic heat detection devices are some of the methods that can be used to detect heat.
