Udder edema is a common condition in dairy cows, particularly around the time of calving. It is characterized by abnormal swelling of the udder and lower abdomen due to the accumulation of fluids in the tissues.
In veterinary practice, especially in ruminant health management, recognizing the visual signs of abdominal distension is crucial. Two common conditions that present with abdominal bloating in cattle are Tympany (bloat) and Vagal Indigestion
Mastitis is a common but serious condition that affects the udder of lactating goats. It is characterized by inflammation of the mammary gland and udder tissue, usually caused by bacterial infection. The symptoms are visible: swollen, red, and painful udders,…
In dairy farming, reproductive efficiency is one of the pillars of productivity and profitability. Understanding the estrous cycle of the cow is crucial for effective breeding, timely insemination, and ultimately, better milk yields. The estrous cycle in cows typically spans…
Selecting a productive dairy cow isn’t just about breed, it’s about physique. A cow’s physical structure reveals a lot about her milk-producing potential, health, efficiency, and longevity in the herd. Whether you're a smallholder farmer or a large-scale investor, understanding these visual cues can help you make informed decisions that impact your farm's profitability.
Selecting the optimal dairy cow breed is crucial for the success of small-scale dairy farming, especially in Kenya's diverse climatic regions. The choice of breed significantly influences milk production, adaptability, and overall farm profitability.
Silage is a vital feed resource in dairy and beef operations worldwide. Properly made and stored silage can help farmers maintain a consistent, high-quality feed supply throughout the year—especially during dry seasons or periods of limited forage availability.
When dairy cows approach the end of pregnancy (the “dry period”), their nutritional needs shift drastically. One management challenge commonly faced by farmers is preventing milk fever (clinical hypocalcemia)—a condition caused by low blood calcium levels around calving.
feeding dairy cows a mixed forage diet specifically comprising Napier Grass, Lucerne (Alfalfa), and Rhodes Grass. This combination offers a balanced, high-quality feed that supports optimal milk production, health, and longevity in dairy herds.
Feeding dairy cows during cold or rainy seasons poses unique challenges that can impact herd productivity, health, and overall profitability.
