Recent developments in in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer technology (Lu, et al, 1987) have facilitated the production of twin, continental cross calves from the dairy herd through non-surgical embryo implantation. However, the successful exploitation of this technology in practice requires information on the effects of embryo transfer and/or twinning on animal performance and how these effects may be influenced by feeding and management factors. The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of different management and feed regimes pre- and post-calving on the performance of single- and twin-bearing cows.
