नवजात बछड़े की देखभाल और प्रबंधन The first hour after calving is the most critical period in the entire life of a new born calf. Timely care of new-born calf will ensure its survival Immediately after the birth, any membranes or mucus adhering to the mouth, nostrils, eyes, and ears of the newborn calf should be carefully removed to facilitate normal breathing. Usually, a cow will lick her calf dry. However, under certain situations, if a cow doesn’t do this or is not allowed to do so, make the calf dry by rubbing with clean, dry towels or bedding over the head and ribs, this will not only dry off the calf but also enhances thermoregulation. Make sure that calves begin active breathing or respiration within 30 seconds, especially after a difficult birth. This can be done by tickling the inside of the nose with a straw, finger, or other instrument pinching the nasal septum, or using a 20 gauge 1.5” needle and place in the acupuncture site in the center of the nose or by pouring cold water on the calf’s head, which causes the grasping reflex in the calf or artificial respiration should be introduced by pressing and reflexing alternatively the chest wall or if the young one is smaller in size...

बछड़ेे में दस्त: जन्म के पहले तीन महीनों के दौरान गौवंस की विनाशकारी बीमारी Diseases of the neonatal calf and related mortality is major cause of economic losses in animal husbandry. Among these, diarrhoea is one the most common diseases reported in calves up to 3 months old. Calf diarrhoea (scouring) is a multi-causative disease that can result in serious financial and animal welfare implications during early period of life. Calf diarrhoea is attributed to both infectious (viral, bacterial, protozoa) and non-infectious factors. The environment and management practices, mineral imbalances also influence disease severity or the outcome of calf diarrhoea. The multifactorial complexities of calf diarrhoea makes the disease difficult to control effectively in modern husbandry practices. Acute diarrhoea in calves is responsible for major cause of deaths in dairy husbandry during the pre-weaning period. Calf mortality during early 1-2 months may vary from 10-30% and 60% of these results from calf diarrhoea. The economic losses occur not only from mortality but also from treatment costs and time spent on care as well as subsequent chronic ill thrift and impaired growth performance. Calf diarrhoea is often recognized by passage of soft fluid to watery or sometimes bloody faeces, abnormal colour, rapid body weight loss and metabolic changes due to dehydration and electrolyte loss.
