The purebred Holsteins tended to have more calving difficulties and stillbirths. Stillbirths accounted for about 15 of every 1,000 deliveries for mothers aged 12-13; the rate dropped precipitously, to nine per 1,000, by age 15 and remained below that level until the mid-30s. The treated group had no stillbirths or newborn deaths, whereas among the untreated women, there were three stillbirths and two newborn deaths. |
