Nursing techniques of cows during delivery

Cows must keep quiet during childbirth and try to give birth naturally. Generally speaking, it takes about 4 hours to start with labor pains, and the calves can be delivered smoothly. Cows should lie on the left side during delivery to avoid difficulties in the delivery of the fetus due to rumen compression, and should be driven to stand up as soon as possible after delivery. Cows need a lot of physical exertion after childbirth, so they should rest quietly and feed warm (30Mel 40 ℃) bran salt calcium soup 10Mel 20kg (2kg of wheat bran, 100g of salt, 100g of calcium carbonate) to supplement the loss of water in the body during childbirth, so as to restore physical strength and excretion of placenta.

In order to reduce reproductive infection, the cow must wash its ribs, breasts, abdomen, hindquarters and tail with warm water, dry all the clean hay, and remove the stained mat grass and feces, and cover the ground with thick mat grass after disinfection. After the cow is postpartum, the placenta is usually excreted within 8 hours. after discharge, the placenta should be removed in time and used to clean the vulva to prevent infection. In order to clear the lochia of the cow and restore the uterus as soon as possible, we should also drink hot motherwort brown sugar water.

Calves usually stand up in 30 minutes after delivery and look for nipples for lactation, so cows should start milking and feed calves with newly squeezed colostrum. Before milking, the milker should wash his hands with warm water and soap, and wash his breasts with warm water. Cows should not be milked for the first few times after parturition. Generally, the amount of milking is 1/3 of the estimate.
