I am not an expert, I am just a learner, but I want to share small tips, that have helped us and small farmers at their farms.

From the small experience, that I have gained whilst being involved in dairy farming, I have concluded, that mastitis is involved due to the following factors:

1. Management in the pen/shed
2. Management in the milking parlor
3. Nutrition
4. Genetics and behavioural

I will cover this topic with 3 more posts to try to cover it in greater detail.

Management in the pen/shed:

1. We ensure the feed is finished at a certain time, so when the cows come back from the milking parlor, they stand up for at least 30 minutes eating the freshly laid feed on the table. What's the reason for this? After milking, for a short period, the teats are open and this can attract bacteria or cow manure to enter the teats if the cow sits down before 30 minutes. However, as a safety precaution, we also use a post-dip solution, which acts as a layer around the teat to protect it (cows are expensive, so you need to think of risks)

2. The floors are cleaned regularly, so there is not much manure on the floor - this is also helpful in preventing lameness. Furthermore, this helps with animal comfort and behavior - giving them a clean environment, so they are happy and enjoy their meal with excitement

3. We disinfect the sand in the bunkers, so no bacteria spreads

4. We keep an eye on the cows throughout the day, so they do not sit on the floors where there is manure and are trained to only sit in the sand bunkers

5. In the open area, we regularly pick up the cow manure, so no cow sits on top of it

6. Try to separate mastitis animals from your main herd until they recover, so you are ensuring there is no spread among your herd.

I have seen many small farmers' cows covered in manure, which signals poor management, and these are farms where most mastitis cases are neverending.

These small things can be the reason why you are suffering from losses at your farm.

A lot of farmers chase sexed semen, regardless of whether the animal is a heifer or in milking, as it increases the chances of a female calf.

High-producing cows, once in milking, are very challenging to reproduce, it's a known fact. It could be related to many factors such as stress, poor fertility, environment, nutrition, BCS, etc.

Another point to highlight is, that 90% of small farmers in Pakistan use commercial feed (wanda). Most of the time, this feed is high in toxin ingredients.

In both scenarios, you are going to face challenges with conception rates.

We have implemented a plan and strategy to only use sexed semen in heifers, and aim to get 100% conception rates. However, once in milking, only go with conventional semen, and then use a bull if required.

We are now in January and in most parts of Pakistan, the breeding season will end in mid-April, so there is not much time left - let's say, that you have 2-3 more chances remaining from today.

A word of advice to all farmers, stop chasing sexed semen for milking cows, as once the breeding season is over, they are very difficult to conceive, and you will lose milk drastically the moment summer hits. If you lose milk, it will affect your ROI and farm economics.

Focus on getting them to conceive before the breeding window closes, this is your chance!

I would also recommend you go double conventional doses and also have a good genetic bull present at your farm.

If animals are repeating:

1. Get them checked by an ultrasound person immediately, so you can diagnose whatever the issue is

2. Review your AI technician persons performance

3. Check your nutrition and minerals being used (will cover this soon)

4. Check for semen motility

5. Review animals BCS

Best wishes to everyone, make the most of the time we have remaining, and stop chasing sexed for milking cows.

Management of DCAD(dietary cation and anon differnce)
خوراک میں مثبت ➕ اور منفی آئین کا فرق رکھنا۔
خوراک میں جب منفی آئین ذیادہ ھوتے ھیں تو جانورمیں میٹا بولک اسیڈوسیس ھوجاتی ھے ۔جس سے PTH
ھارمون کی ھڈیوں کی sensitivity بڑھ جاتی ھے اور ھڈیوں سے کیلشیم خون میں آنے لگتا ھے اور جانور کو سوتک۔جیر کا روکنا۔بچے کی پیدائش کا مسئلہ ۔پیچھے کا مسئلہ ۔abomasum displace ment
کا مسئلہ نھی بنتا۔جانور کا دودھ بھی 15 فی صد بڑھ جاتا ھے۔اس لیے جانور کو سونے سے3 سے 4 ھفتے پھلے
Anionic salt
دیے جاتے ہیں۔جیسے نوشادر۔کیلشیم کلورایڈ۔میگنیزیم سلفیٹ۔
ان کا ذائقہ کڑوا ھوتا ھے اس لیے مارکیٹ میں بنے بناے سالٹ مل جاتے ھیں جیسے bichlor .
پیشاب کی pH جب پانچ اشاریہ پانچ سے چھے اشاریہ پانچ کے درمیان ھوجاے تو سمجھ لیں DCAD منفی ھوگیا ھے۔اس وقت پیشاب میں کیلشیم آنے لگتا ھے اس لیے جانور کو کیلشیم دینا شروع کردیا جائے۔ جانور کو سونے سے 3 ھفتے پھلے نمک اور میٹھا سوڈا دینا بند کردیا جائے کیونکہ سوڈیمcation ھے اور cationاور میٹھا سوڈا pH کو بڑھا تے ھیں اور
Hypocalcimia
ھوسکتا ھے۔
