THE FUSE

Weaning is a critical stage in cattle production, affecting both the growth of calves and the recovery of cows after lactation. Proper weaning strategies can improve calf weight gain, reduce stress, and support the nutritional recovery of cows, ultimately enhancing herd productivity. Poorly managed weaning can lead to slower growth, increased susceptibility to disease, and extended calving intervals. Farmers who implement structured weaning practices can ensure healthier, faster-growing calves while maintaining the body condition and reproductive efficiency of cows.
