Heifer rearing is a fundamental part of the dairy industry, which represents a significant economic investment by the farmer into the future of the herd, with studies reporting that it contributes to approximately 20% of the overall expenditure of a dairy farm; the target is less than 10%. Research from the UK reported the mean rearing cost of a heifer was approximately £1900, with large variation between farms. The payback time for these costs has been reported to be around second lactation. It is important for farmers and veterinary surgeons to consider the economics of heifer rearing, as well as the health, welfare and longevity of heifers when implementing a rearing plan.
