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 amount of calf's weight should be taken into account in order to determine the size of the calf's weight for the first time. Usually, 1 kg to 2 kg is appropriate. During the calf's growth, 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 should be fixed. For 1 hour, calves should not drink cold water to feed water. To drink warm water, the calf's lactation period is generally 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 2 hours to 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, yak cattle feed 2 kg to 3 kg per day, and should pay attention to observe the calf's diet, mental status and fecal conditions, if it is found that abnormalities should be dealt with in a timely manner. In the rearing 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 with 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.

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 time period, 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 the treatment of newborn cows, penicillin used 800,000 international units to 1.6 million international units and 0.25% to 0.5% of procacarb, 10 ml to 20 ml, and was 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.
