Abstract :
[en] In the European Union, half of slaughtered adult cattle are female, including 60 % of adult cows and 40 % of heifers, mainly from dairy races. The animals are culled for multiple reasons that vary from one country to another and even from one herd to another. Fattening is therefore more difficult and haphazard than that of young bulls, due to the heterogeneity of their characteristics at the culling time, such as: age, race and format, medical and physiological statutes, and body condition score. The methods of finishing (outside or inside) and of feeding are also significant sources of variation. This article proposes to review the principal factors influencing the finishing of culled females.
