The time just after calving is very sensitive for dairy cows.
Milk production begins immediately, but the cow\u2019s feed intake is still low. This imbalance often causes health problems called metabolic disorders. Good feeding management during this period helps to keep cows healthy, improve milk yield, and support quick recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMMON PROBLEMS AFTER CALVING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. MILK FEVER<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Milk fever (also called hypocalcemia) is a disease that usually occurs within 24\u201372 hours after calving. It happens when the cow\u2019s blood calcium drops too low because a large amount of calcium is being released in milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Signs of Milk Fever<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Weakness, unable to stand<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cold ears and nose<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Trembling or muscle weakness<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cow lies down and cannot rise if not treated<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Why It Happens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • High-yielding cows need a lot of calcium at calving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • If the body cannot supply enough from feed or bones, blood calcium falls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Older cows are more prone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Prevention<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Feed low calcium diets during the dry period to train the cow\u2019s body to mobilize calcium.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Use anionic salts before calving to improve calcium absorption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Provide adequate magnesium in the diet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Give oral calcium bolus or drench immediately after calving, especially to high-producing cows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Veterinary treatment with intravenous (IV) calcium solution is required for severe cases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • For mild cases, oral calcium supplements may help.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          2. KETOSIS (ENERGY SHORTAGE)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Ketosis is a metabolic disorder that occurs in high-yielding dairy cows, usually within the first 2\u20136 weeks after calving. It happens when the cow does not eat enough energy-rich feed to meet the high demand for milk production. The body burns too much fat, leading to ketone build-up in the blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Signs of Ketosis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Reduced appetite (cow eats less, especially concentrates)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Sudden drop in milk yield<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Weight loss<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Dullness or depression<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Sweet\/fruity smell in breath, milk, or urine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Causes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Negative energy balance after calving<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Over-fat cows at calving (body condition score >3.5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Low feed intake or poor-quality forage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Prevention<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Keep cows in moderate body condition (not too fat) at calving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Feed high-energy, good-quality forages and gradually increase concentrates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Use feed additives like propylene glycol, niacin, or rumen-protected choline in high-risk cows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Ensure cows have fresh, palatable feed and enough bunk space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Oral drench of propylene glycol for 3\u20135 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Glucose or short-term corticosteroid injections in severe cases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  3. DISPLACED ABOMASUM<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  The abomasum (true stomach) normally lies on the floor of the abdomen. After calving, it can fill with gas and move (displace) either to the left side (LDA) or right side (RDA). This causes digestive upset and reduced feed intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                  Signs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  • Drop in appetite (cow refuses grain, eats only roughage)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Sudden fall in milk yield<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Weight loss<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Reduced rumen activity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Sometimes a \u201cping\u201d sound is heard when the abdomen is tapped (diagnosed by vet)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    Causes \/ Risk Factors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    • Low feed intake after calving<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • High concentrate diets with little fiber<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Ketosis or other metabolic problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Overconditioned cows at calving<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Stress and overcrowding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                      Prevention<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n
                      • Encourage feed intake immediately after calving<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Provide enough effective fiber in the diet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Avoid sudden ration changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Prevent ketosis and milk fever through proper nutrition<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Ensure cow comfort and reduce stress<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                        Treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \n
                        • Requires veterinary intervention (rolling, surgical correction, or toggle pinning)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Support with fluids and correction of underlying problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                          4. FATTY LIVER<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                          Fatty liver occurs when too much body fat is mobilized around calving and stored in the liver. This reduces the liver\u2019s ability to function properly, leading to health and production problems. It usually happens in over-conditioned (fat) cows at calving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Signs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \n
                          • Reduced appetite<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Drop in milk yield<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Weakness and weight loss<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Often occurs along with ketosis<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Increased risk of other diseases (retained placenta, metritis, displaced abomasum)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                            Causes \/ Risk Factors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \n
                            • Over-fat cows at calving (Body Condition Score > 3.5)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            • Low feed intake before and after calving<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            • Negative energy balance in early lactation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                              • Use feed additives like niacin, choline, or propylene glycol in high-risk cows<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              • Encourage maximum dry matter intake after calving<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                  • Start with good quality forage and gradually add concentrates after calving<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  • Do not increase concentrate suddenly (max 1 kg extra per day)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  • Use energy boosters like propylene glycol for weak or high-yielding cows<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  • Keep body condition moderate (not too fat, not too thin)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                                              Healthy cows after calving depend on good feeding and cow comfort.
                                              By ensuring energy-rich but balanced diets, proper mineral supply, and maximum feed intake, farmers can reduce metabolic problems, improve milk yield, and extend cow life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
