Charles Darwin University’s Treatment Program
Non pregnant, adult cows will be assigned one of two treatments at random. They will be weighed and given Multimin (according to body weight) or no Multimin (control) a month before bulls are introduced for joining in November 2018. Allocation to groups is to be done so that there are the same range of cattle weights and similar numbers of 1st and 2nd breeders.
- Group A (80 head) will remain untreated with Multimin and act as the controls.
- Group B (80 head) will be treated with Multimin
In March 2019, all trial animals will be preg-tested. Data collection will be able to determine which treatment was given to the cow and its pregnancy status.
Parameters to be measured are pregnancy status, age of foetus and weight of animals.
