Key Highlights:
- Comparable Milk Yield, Lower Feed Costs: Achieve similar milk production as Holsteins while reducing feed expenses.
- Increased Income: NR crossbreds boast 17 fewer days open, enhancing reproductive efficiency and profitability.
- Higher Milk Solids: Superior fat percentage (4.25% vs. 3.73%) leads to greater economic returns.
- Healthier Cows: Experience lower rates of transition period issues, highlighting their robustness.
- Greater Profitability: Benefit from higher milk components, shorter calving intervals, and reduced mortality costs.
