Postpartum deviations in cows and first-calf heifers and methods for their correction
https://doi.org/10.32634/0869-8155-2025-399-10-45-57
Abstract
A scientific analysis of modern foreign publications on postpartum deviations in cows and firstcalving heifers and methods for their correction was carried out. Considering that domestic publications on this topic are freely available, it was decided to prepare a review of the problems based on data from foreign articles.
The review reflects publications that show how the etiological factor affects postpartum abnormalities in cows and first-born heifers. Attention is drawn to the factors that cause various postpartum complications, such as hypocalcemia, ketosis, afterbirth retention, uterine diseases that subsequently reduce reproductive efficiency, milk production, and productive longevity in herds. The main preventive measures for these deviations based on research by foreign authors are described in this review.
This review allows readers to expand their knowledge of problems in animals after calving, namely, to take into account some physiological changes that, to one degree or another, can cause the development of various deviations, and will also allow practitioners to apply methods for the prevention and correction of these complications before the development of severe and irreversible consequences.
