Scientists at 16 experiment stations have been involved in cooperative research to study methods of increasing efficiency and for improving management of dairy replacements. This research is part of the Regional Research Project NC-119 “Improving Large Dairy Herd Management Practices.” Research objectives have concerned means of increasing efficiency of producing replacements for large dairy herds. Through cooperative research, important answers were found to questions involving nutrition, housing, and management for replacement animals. Between 1977 and 1982, over 50 articles have been published in journals and trade magazines on replacement animal rearing from research of the NC-119 project. These results should have wide impact and use on livestock management. © 1984, American Dairy Science Association. All rights reserved.
