Abstract
Many researchers have shown the positive effects of elevated levels of pre-weaning nutrition in dairy calves on growth, health, fertility, future lifetime production and culling rate. Trouw Nutrition's LifeStart research programme follows two groups of calves during their entire productive life. It started in 2014 and is continuing till today.
