In article recommendations about leaving and preparation to otelu firstcalf heifers on the eve of a table, during the period otela when the calf already was born are made. Recommendations on the care of a newborn calf are made also.
The day before
In 2-3 weeks prior to otela the udder of a cow starts to increase, the stomach falls. From now on it is necessary to watch closely especially a condition and behavior of an animal, especially neteyoly (firstcalf heifers). To accustom netel to milking after otela, it is necessary to do systematically udder massage that well affects and its condition. If the udder hardened and poyavlyaetsya milk, it is necessary to cost it (but a telka not razdaivat is constant). It is extremely desirable to address thus to vetvrachu.
The last 7-10 days to assumed otela the norm of a koryomovy diet should be lowered, amount of compound feed not dolyozhno to exceed 1-2 kg, and juicy forages are necessary for excluding from a diet completely. At this time the cow needs to give good bean or cereal hay in plenty and to give to drink warm water not less than three times a day.
All room of a cowshed should be cleaned carefully, vymyt and to disinfect 20 % solution of a svezhegasheny lime or 5 % of carbolic acid, a floor to cover with a thick layer of dry and pure straw. To prepare iodine, kreolin or licked, potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate), Esmarkh’s mug for syringing, scissors, soap, a pure sacking.
At emergence of signs of the beginning otela a back part of a body of a cow carefully wash warm water, then 2-3 % rayostvory licked and dry rub off a pure rag, and external parts of a vagina wash solution of potassium of permanganate (1 g on 1 l of water). The signs foretelling fast approach otela, the pripukhaniye of external genitals, a uveliyocheniye of a sexual crack, emergence of milk in nipples, slime allocation from a vagina are. The cow starts to show a characteristic besyopokoystvo, lies more often, looks back at a stomach. During this period it is necessary to keep quiet, establish continuous supervision over a condition of an animal.
In time
Otel begins with emergence of attempts which periodically repeat. Usually it passes without special complications, quickly. In the beginning from a vagina there is an okoloplodny bubble. At normal position of a calf after a spontaneous rupture of a bubble there are forward feet, and then the head, leyozhashchy in feet. More often cows telyatsya lying on the left side, but some cows at hotel stand. In this case the leaving calf needs to be supported, that it didn’t hurt when falling. To accept it it is necessary on prepared pure meshkovinu, laid over a straw layer. Nostrils, and ears of the newborn wipe a mouth a pure rag, deleting okoloplodny slime that the newborn to give the chance to breathe freely. Puyopochny kanatik it is necessary to tear off hands at distance of 10-12 cm from a stomach of a calf, from the remained umbilical cord to squeeze out blood and to process iodine tincture. Then a calf put on a laying closer to the head of a cow that it could lick it. At an obliyozyvaniye the cow clears a calf of okoloplodny slime, massiruet a body that well affects its krovoobrashcheyoniya and breath.
When the calf rose on feet
After a licking the calf quickly dries and rises on feet. As soon as it will rise, it should be placed in separate kletku.
The cow should lick surely a calf, because in the okoloplodny liquid covering of the newborn, soderzhatsya the hormones positively influencing exile from rodoyovy ways of a placenta and stimulating restoration of a normalyyony condition of a uterus after otela.
There can be cases when the cow doesn’t lick it. Prinuzhdat it to it doesn’t follow. It is not necessary to delete a calf from a stall, it is good to wipe and promassazhirovat all his body meshkoviyony, and then to place for an obsykhaniye in a warm place. For obogreva it is possible to use a reflector.
Quite often at cows happen trudnoprokhodyashchy otely because of a neyopravilyyony rasyopolozheniye of a fruit in utrobe materi. Napriyomer, peyoredny koyonechnost or otkinuta sideways or back the head can be bent. In it sluchae it is necessary to push away carefully a fruit back and to correct his feet and the head in normal the polozheyony. If the calf is located to an exit from a vagina the back, it is necessary for turning a back up and to release hind legs, having extended them forward to an exit from a vagina. In all complicated cases intervention of a skilled veterinary speyotsialist is necessary.
Complicated otel can be because of weak attempts or the krupyony sizes of a calf. In such cases on an extremity of a calf nakladyvayut rope loops and carefully pull it forward and down. Efforts on a pulling should coincide with estestvennymi attempts of a cow.
At difficult childbirth the calf can be born without breath signs. In that case it is necessary to remove quickly slime from a nose and a mouth and to make to it artificial breath, periodically compressing and releasing a thorax.
