East African Agricultural And Forestry Journal, 5 (5), 330-337.0012-8325https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/handle/0/9995A considerable amount of information is available on the best methods of management of dairy herds in the various areas of the country, and the standard of husbandry has greatly improved during recent years. As a result of more intensive management there has been a tendency to rear more calves by hand than formerly. Results have, however, in some cases been disappointing, and it may be that under certain conditions in this country it is better to use natural methods. When weaned, therefore, heifer calves should continue to receive a concentrate ration which should be fed in the middle of the day if possible, and in the evening during the dry season or periods of shortage of grazing they should continue to receive hay and silage.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Journal ContributionCalfRearing systemsDairy herdsNatural resources
