Improving the life production of dairy cattle by optimizing the nutrition and management of youngstock in Flanders

At the end of this project more dairy farmers will actively monitor the rearing of their heifers (measuring/weighing), more heifers will calve at the optimal age of 24 months and they will enjoy a healthier and longer life, thus achieving better lifelong production.Research approachThe approach in this project is a combination of research and practice
