Neonatal & Young Calf Managemental Strategies under Changing Climatic Scenerio
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Agriculture Business - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Neonates are very much susceptible during adverse climatic condition, due to its poor thermoregulatory mechanism. Nutrition and management of the cow during the dry period may have a profound effect on the survival, health, and growth of newborn calves. The proper management of energy intake to control body condition from late lactation until calving minimizes the potential for harmful effects of nutrient deprivation or over conditioning. The production levels and the performance of calves in herd are greatly affected by genetic and environmental factors. In addition, the neonatal performance is known to be important for continuity of the herd and the survival for livestock enterprises. During periods of heat stress, take necessary measures to ensure cows and heifers are kept cool. Alleviate heat stress by providing constant access to water, shade and proper ventilation. For cows, measures including provision of an enriched, more easily digestible ration as well as sprinklers over feeding areas can help ease heat stress. For calves, good colostrum management becomes even more important during heat stress.
