How to raise and manage new calves

The birth of the newborn yak is a delight to the farmers, but how to keep the newborn calves and ensure the healthy growth of the newborn calves is not clear to every cattle-raising household, but the feeding method and common of the newborn calves are common. The mastery of disease is of great importance to rural cattle farmers. It is related to the healthy growth of yak, and also related to the economic income of farmers.

Newborn yak raising method

After the calf is born, its sucking capacity is not big. The first feeding amount needs to consider the calf's weight in order to determine the size of the feeding quantity, generally 1 kg-2 kg is appropriate, during the growth of calves, To insist on weighing the weight of yak every day, depending on the weight of the calf, decide on the amount of milk to be given to the calf, typically 1/6 of the calf's weight, and feed 4 times a day. The temperature of the milk should be appropriate and can be controlled. Between 35°C and 38°C, the time for feeding each time is fixed. For 1 hour, the yaks can't drink cold water to feed water. To drink warm water, the calf's lactation period is usually 3 months to 4 months. From the 7th day of birth, the yak will be trained to eat concentrates and quality hay. After 5 days of age, the yaks must ration the yak to drink water after feeding the milk, feed and hay, and let the yak daily. To go out for exercise for 1 hour, and to gradually increase the time to go outside, after January to increase to 2 hours - 3 hours. Calves should be reared separately after they are born, and keeping them alone can prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases and can also prevent injuries caused by competition. It is necessary to insist on brushing the calf's body twice a day, and to change the yak's valerian regularly to keep the inside and outside of the calf clean. In the breeding of yak, we must not avoid feeding and limiting breeding.

For yaks that have been weaned until June of age, calves should be fed a large amount of roughage and supplemented with a certain amount of concentrate. Should be based on the quality of green roughage, the yak should be given a mixture of 2 kg to 3 kg per day, and attention should be paid to observe the calf's diet, mental status and fecal conditions. If abnormalities are found, they must be dealt with promptly. In the feeding of dairy cows, early weaning should be promoted (2.5 months to 3 months after birth); early feeding of plant feed should be started one week after birth and the calves should be fed high-quality hay to allow the calves to eat freely. , while training calves eat concentrates. At the beginning of the feeding, the fine material will smear the mouth and nose of the yaks. They must be patiently taught to feed. Three weeks later, carrots are added to the feed. Silage is started at the age of 2 months, and antibiotics are added to increase yak resistance and digestive organs. Exercise.

Introduction of several common diseases of calves

Although the newborn calf naturally has antibodies from cows, it is still a calf, after all, it will be attacked by foreign pathogens, leading to the occurrence of diseases. I will give an introduction here.

Calves' Omphalitis

This is caused by the yak's umbilical cord. Newborn cowboys will definitely have umbilical cords. Under normal conditions, they usually dry and fall off within 3 days to 6 days after birth. If this period of time, cows Contamination of the umbilical cord or impregnation of urine, or lax disinfection of the umbilical cord during confinement, can cause bacterial infection and inflammation of the newborn cow's umbilical cord.

Treatment: In the initial stage of treatment of newborn cows, penicillin was used with 800,000 international units - 1.6 million international units and 0.25% - 0.5% proca, 10 ml - 20 ml, closed around the umbilicus of newborn cowboys. 5% iodine rubbed the umbilicus. When the umbilicus of newborn cowboys form a fistula, wash their pus with a disinfectant solution, apply iodine ether or 5% iodine to rub the umbilicus. When the umbilicus of the newborn cowboy's animal becomes atrophic, the pus is washed with a disinfectant solution and iodoform ether or iodine is applied. When there is an abscess, the pus must be cut open. If the umbilical cord of the newborn cowboy has gangrene, the umbilical cord must be removed to remove the necrotic tissue. After cleaning with a disinfectant solution, apply iodoform ether or 5% iodine. Use antibiotics to prevent systemic infection in newborn cows. After the newborn cowboy is born, as long as the umbilical cord does not bleed, there is no need for ligation, which is more conducive to promoting its rapid drying and shedding.

Newborn yak disease causes

Because cows lack nutrients such as protein, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements during pregnancy, cows also suffer from pregnancy toxemia, prenatal paraplegia, chronic gastro-intestinal diseases, certain infectious diseases, premature delivery, or close relatives. Breeding calves, as well as twins, are also responsible for the disease.

Treatment: The yak should first be placed in a warm room. The room temperature should be maintained at 25°C to 30°C. If necessary, cover it with a cover. In order to supply nutrients and supplement oxygen, 500 ml of 10% glucose can be intravenously injected, and 30 ml to 40 ml of hydrogen peroxide solution can be added. Can also be used 5% glucose 500 ml, 10% calcium gluconate 40 ml -100 ml, vitamin C 10 ml, 10% sodium coffee 5 ml -10 ml, once intravenously. According to the condition can also be applied vitamin A, D, B and other preparations and energy drugs, such as adenosine triphosphate, coenzyme A, cytochrome C and so on. For the care of debilitated beasts, artificial nursing should be performed regularly. Yak can not stand, should be diverted to prevent acne.

Newborn yak suffocation causes

The occurrence of suffocation of newborn yaks is mostly caused by insufficient metabolism of the body or placental blood circulation disorders, or delayed delivery, leading to obstructed fetal output, early rupture of placental abruption, premature rupture of the placental sac, and oppression of the umbilical cord when fetal inversion is produced. , Overly strong or fetal umbilical cord entanglement, causing fetal severe hypoxia, rapid accumulation of carbon dioxide, stimulate the fetus to breathe too early, as well as inhalation of amniotic fluid and suffocation. In addition, the cow before the delivery suffers from some kind of thermal or systemic disease and the fetus is prone to suffocation in preterm delivery, which can also cause the fetus to suffer from hypoxia and suffocation.

Treatment: If newborn calves are found to suffocate, immediately pour them and shake them, shake and press the chest and abdomen of calves. At the same time, wipe the calf's nostrils and the amniotic fluid in the mouth with a cloth to promote the calf's respiratory tract. Mucus discharge. Then the calf's back is raised and the head is lowered, and the calf's chest and abdomen are pressed rhythmically for artificial respiration or oxygen delivery. At the same time can also be used to stimulate the respiratory center drugs, such as stem cell alkali 5 ml -10 ml, or 25% nikethamide 1.5 ml, an intramuscular injection. After asphyxiation is relieved, in order to correct acidosis, 5 to 100 ml of 5% sodium bicarbonate solution may be intravenously injected. Antibiotics may be used to prevent secondary respiratory infections in calves.
