Community Practices
|
When an animal has too much of body heat, it cannot reproduce and this affects the milking of the animal. To enable the same, Bharatsinh, 60, mixes one kg root of shatavari (Asparagus racemosus Willd) and one kg skin of bark of banyan (Ficus benghalensis L.) tree. For next four days, he adds 500 g of the above mixture to the animal’s fodder. The practice enables the animal in one week's time to conceive.

Disease Description
|
It is not a communicable disease. It is not a fatal disease. But it affects there production hence it affects the economy of a farmer. Reproductive failure is the most common reason associated with culling cows from the breeding herd. In addition to cows failing to become pregnant or aborting, other cows may take longer to become pregnant and calve late. Calves from these cows will have significantly lower weight gain on pasture. There is also greater chance a late calving cow won’t become pregnant the next year. The expense of an open cow to a producer is not only the lost value of a calf, but also the cost of maintaining the cow for a year without a calf being produced. A cow that calves in the third cycle rather than the first cycle can produce a calf that is 50 lbs or lighter at weaning.
