1. Make sure to breathe. Immediately after the calf is born, wipe off the mouth and nose mucus with a dry rag, make the calf breathe as soon as possible, and then dry other parts, or let the cow lick the calf dry.

2. Disinfect the umbilical cord. In most cases, the umbilical cord of the calf will be torn off naturally, and it is only a few centimeters long in the abdomen. If it is not torn, the umbilical cord should be cut about 15 centimeters from the abdomen, and the mucus in the umbilical cord should be extruded. Disinfect the umbilical cord and its surroundings with high concentration of iodine (7%) or other disinfectant. Under normal circumstances, the remaining umbilical cord shrinks and falls off in about 15 days.

3. Eat milk as early as possible. Calves should be fed about 2 kg colostrum within 1 hour after birth (1-7 days after birth). 2 kg colostrum should be fed at 6 hours and 12 hours after birth, respectively. In the next few days, the calves should be fed 2-3 times a day, 1.25-2.5kg each time, and the milk temperature should be about 37 ℃. The best feeding method of colostrum is bottle feeding, and the strong feeding method of esophageal catheter can be used to feed the frail calves which can not suck colostrum.
