metritis, uterine prolapse, dystocia, and retained
placenta.
 Mastitis, metritis and toxicity problems were most
commonly found there.

24. SUGGESTIONS
 Feeding should be done at the time.
 Hoof trimming should be done.
 Proper fencing system.
 Close drains should be constructed
 Corral feed trough should be under shady place.
 There should be proper control for keeping away wild
animals like dogs, rodents, and snakes.
 A trained person should be appointed to detect heat
to gain high conception rates.
 Calving pen should be maintained in reference to
bedding, hygiene, and space.

25. Cont…
 Ultrasonography should be practiced in
Pregnancy diagnosis and for reproductive
problems.
 As dairyland dairy farm produces milk for human
consumption, so there should be a proper
protocol for Antibiotic withdrawal period to lessen
the residues of antibiotics in milk which can be
harmful to human health.
 Antibiotic usage for more than 3 weeks should
be minimized to avoid the antibiotic resistance
produced by the micro-organisms.
 Medicines should be properly stored in the calf
section.
