How to judge the health of cattle by their body temperature

When many farmers run some farms themselves, they are often distressed by the disease of their cattle. Once a cow is infected with the disease, it will infect a herd of cattle, causing the whole herd to become paralyzed. How should we judge when the herd gets sick?. How to tell which cattle are sick or not? Next, Shuai Shuai will tell you how to judge by asking questions.

First, take body temperature

First of all, we have to prepare a thermometer, then lower the mercury column in the thermometer to below 35 degrees, and then apply lubricant or water. When we take the cow's temperature, we measure its anus, so we have to insert the thermometer into the anus, and then use the thermometer clip to clip its tail hair. It can be taken out in about three to five minutes, and then the thermometer can be wiped clean and taken out.

Second, the body temperature of cattle

1. Because the cow's body temperature will change greatly after strenuous exercise or basking in the sun, it should be allowed to rest for half an hour before measuring its temperature. Generally speaking, the body temperature of healthy cattle will change slightly during the day and night. Generally speaking, it will be a little higher in the morning than in the afternoon, with a temperature difference of about one degree, so it is best to measure it at eight or nine o'clock in the morning and at four or five o'clock in the afternoon. Then observe the disease to record its body temperature and the temperature difference at different times. Generally speaking, a normal cow is between 38.5 and 39.5 degrees Celsius.

2. if the body temperature is lower than the normal cow, the sick cattle generally suffer from massive blood loss, visceral rupture and toxic diseases, and if they are serious, they will face death, so it is very important to pay attention to it at this time. If the body temperature is higher than the normal body temperature, it is accompanied by fever symptoms, and according to the type of fever, it can be divided into the following three conditions:

① residual fever: if the fever persists for more than three days and the daily temperature difference is less than one degree, it may be infectious pleuropneumonia or calf paratyphoid fever.

② relaxation heat: the daily temperature difference of cattle suffering from this disease is more than one degree, and can not drop to the normal body temperature, so this kind of cattle may suffer from suppurative disease, septicemia and other diseases.

③ intermittent fever: this is a changing situation, characterized by large temperature fluctuations, all of a sudden fever is not fever, mutual transformation, so diseased cattle may be suffering from chronic tuberculosis, bursal disease and other diseases.

The above is how to judge the health of cattle by their body temperature. Have you learned it? Feel very magical, interested friends can give it a try, hoping to help you.
