During the winter months, pregnant cattle would require a lot more care and attention. Pregnant cattle would need protection from the harsh temperatures during these months. They must have quick access to the right food and adequate water. Proper nutrition helps keep them healthy throughout and beyond their pregnancy. In instances when there are several pregnant cows at a given time, you need to segregate them into paddocks so you can monitor them with ease and efficiency. Segregation also allows you to give each pregnant cow with convenience, enough water, as well as food. Close monitoring is needed as each pregnant cow reaches the calving date. The following are a few more ways to keep your pregnant cows comfortable:
● Place a layer of sand bed or install sloped water beds (this will help reduce stress on the knees as well as hocks when they're resting)
● Provide extra space for resting and feeding
● Apply udder cream to give relief to sore or cracked skin
If you have any concerns about your cattle’s health and behavior, call your pet clinic Helotes TX immediately.
