Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how different nutritional strategies impact the performance and health of Nellore heifers grazing in tropical Brazil, focusing on factors like metabolic profile and ovarian activity.
- Forty heifers were divided into four groups based on varying amounts of protein-energy supplements given before and after weaning.
- Results showed that increasing post-weaning supplement intake improved nutrient digestibility, insulin and glucose levels, daily weight gain, and ovarian health, indicating that higher amounts of supplements lead to better overall performance in heifers.
