Extract

There is little published data on the detailed performance of continental genotypes as suckler cows in a hill environment. The work presented investigates levels of blood metabolites and hormones in autumn calving heifers during the post-partum period. Reproductive performance of the herd is detailed in an accompanying paper (Keatinge et al 1994).
