The golden hour: The first hour after calving is the most critical period in the entire life of new born calf.
IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
->Clean nostrils and mouth which helps the calf breathe better and help prevent future breathing problems.
->Allow the mother to lick the calf clean which promotes circulation within the calf’s body and prepares the calf to stand up and walk.
->Tie the naval cord with a thread at a distance of around
->2 inches from the base and cut the remaining cord with a clean instrument.
->Dip the navel (a simple smearing will not serve the purpose) in 7% or higher tincture of iodine solution and repeat after 12 hours. (Do not use teat dip or weaker iodine solutions). A poorly maintained navel is the gateway to serious infections.
->A new born calf should be given 2 litres of colostrum within the first 2 hours of birth and 1-2 litres (based on size) within 12 hours of birth.
->Many calves do not nurse adequate amounts of colostrum from their dams within the first few hours of life, and thus they may not receive adequate immunity.
->Feeding colostrum after 24 hours of birth may not help the calf to ward off infections.
->A calf must receive adequate colostrum to protect it from diseases for the first three months of its life. Colostrum is the calf’s “passport to life”.
->Hand-feeding new-born calves is therefore recommended so that the farmer is sure about the amount of colostrum an individual calf receives.
->De-worming should be done within 10-14 days of age subsequently on a monthly basis up to the 6th month.
->When the animal is 3 months old, contact the veterinarian for vaccination.
->Provide calf starter from 2-8 weeks for better growth and early maturity.
