5 practical ways to make calving easier for cows
1. Maintain a Clean and Comfortable Calving Area
Ensure the cow is in a clean, dry, and quiet space with enough room to lie down and move. This reduces stress and prevents infections for both the cow and the calf.
2. Monitor Nutrition in Late Pregnancy
Feed a balanced diet rich in energy, minerals (especially calcium and magnesium), and fiber to prevent metabolic disorders like milk fever and ensure muscle strength during labor.
3. Regular Observation and Calving Signs Recognition
Be vigilant for signs like restlessness, raised tail, swollen vulva, or discharge. Early detection of labor ensures timely assistance if complications arise.
4. Gentle, Timely Human Assistance
If labor is prolonged or the calf is mispositioned, trained personnel should intervene using proper hygiene and gentle techniques to assist without harming the cow or calf.
