Caring for the Calf

A number of health issues in the days and weeks after calving can have a costly impact on productivity. Several immediate actions that can be taken to help alleviate and prevent health issues including;
 Immediately after calving, cows must have access to clean drinking water and the lactating cow diet to maximise dry matter intake and energy input.
 Allow adequate feeding space to avoid competition between cows.
 Be vigilant with cows to identify and react to issues such as milk fever, retained placenta and Ketosis. Always consult your Vet before taking further action.
