This document discusses management practices for calves, including neonatal calf care after birth, colostrum feeding, housing and environment, weaning, disease management, and vaccinations. Specifically, it emphasizes the importance of neonatal care like checking vital signs at birth, feeding colostrum in the first 24 hours to provide antibodies, providing a stress-free environment for housing, and vaccinating to protect calves due to their immature immune systems. The goal of these practices is to reduce calf mortality rates and support healthy development.

Psm mch low birth wt baby & kangaroo mother care
The document discusses low birth weight babies and Kangaroo Mother Care. It defines key terms like preterm, term, and low birth weight babies. Kangaroo Mother Care involves skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby, exclusive breastfeeding, and is effective for temperature regulation and bonding. Preventative strategies for low birth weight include improving maternal nutrition, preventing infections, and ensuring access to healthcare during pregnancy.
Immediate care for the new borns
The document provides guidance on the immediate care of newborns. It outlines objectives like ensuring respiration, preventing infection, caring for the umbilical cord and eyes, stabilizing temperature, and identifying the infant. Procedures covered include gentle delivery to prevent injury, establishing breathing, applying eye ointment, clamping the cord, providing warmth, and recording observations. The Apgar score is described to evaluate breathing, heart rate, muscle tone, reflexes and color. Maintaining sterility and the health of both mother and baby are primary goals of immediate newborn care.
Health Factors In Colostrum
This document discusses the health factors present in colostrum. Colostrum is the first breast milk produced after giving birth, and it lasts for 2-4 days. It is very important as it lays the foundation for the newborn's immune system and provides passive immunity, nutrients for growth, and protective factors. Colostrum is rich in antibodies, growth factors, vitamins, minerals, and other immune factors that protect against infection and support tissue development in newborns. Bovine colostrum also contains these beneficial components and can be used as it is more readily available in larger quantities than human colostrum.
Essential care of newborn
This document provides information on essential newborn care including maintaining temperature, establishing breathing, vitamin K injection, breastfeeding initiation and daily routine care like warmth, feeding, bathing and observation.

Low birth weight baby
This document discusses low birth weight babies, including definitions and causes. It notes that low birth weight can be due to preterm birth or intrauterine growth restriction. Common causes include maternal medical issues, placental problems, and social factors like poverty. Management depends on birth weight and may involve home care, hospital care, or neonatal intensive care. Kangaroo mother care is described as an effective way to care for low birth babies. Intrauterine growth restriction can lead to complications and is diagnosed through ultrasound and history.
The Importance of Breastfeeding on Infant Gut Development
The document discusses the importance of breastfeeding for infant gut development and immunity. It notes that 60-70% of the immune system is located in the gut. Breastfeeding establishes healthy gut bacteria and yeast that play important digestive and immune roles. The WHO and other organizations recommend exclusive breastfeeding for at least 6 months. Breastfeeding passes immunity to infants through antibodies and supports the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut while discouraging harmful bacteria. This healthy gut development can reduce the risk of food allergies, autoimmune diseases, and other issues later in life.

Vaccination and medication in poultry
Inoculation with a specific biological substance (antigen) to stimulate resistance or immunity to a particular disease.
Purpose of vaccination
To prevent or reduce problems that can occur from infection of a field strain of a disease organism
To incite high levels of immunity to protect birds in the face of aggressive endemic disease challenges.
To prevent heavy losses in the form of high mortality, morbidity and lowered protective performance by building up resistance in birds
To hyper immunize hens to maximize maternally derived antibody passed through the egg to the hatching progeny.
Seminar parenting
This document discusses major diseases that affect children's health and their prevention. It covers pneumonia, diarrhea, dengue, and malnutrition. Pneumonia is a leading cause of death in children under 5 and can be caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi.

Entropion is a condition where an eyelid turns inward, causing irritation, pain, infection, and tearing of the eye. Left untreated, it can damage the cornea within 1-2 days and potentially cause blindness. It can affect both eyes and either the upper or lower eyelids. It is often present at birth and may be genetic. Treatment options range from manually rolling the eyelid outward several times a day for mild cases, to using superglue or injections administered by a veterinarian for more severe cases. All newborn kids should be checked for entropion in the first day or two after birth.

Calf management
- 1. Management practices for calves By: Sajjad laghari 2k17-AV-22
- 2. Calf management includes Neonatal calf care (Just after birth) Colostrum feeding Housing and environment Weaning Diseases management Vaccinations
- 3. Neonatal calf care (Just after birth) Almost 75% mortality happens within first hour of parturition. Therefore immediately after the calf is born few tasks must be takes place. First access the vital organs of calf to ensure it is alive. Check its breathing. Heart rate and movement. Clear the calf’s air passageway for normal breathing by the help of straw or fingers.
- 4. Colostrum feeding Calves are borned with few or no antibodies with immature immune system. Full immune system develops within five to eight months Due to weak immune system calves are more susceptable to harmful pathogens and diseases, In order to inhance immune system colosrum feeding is important because it contains antibodies. Feeding colostrum throughout first 24 hours ideal to ensure they received many immunoglobulins
- 5. Housing and environment Stress free environment Physical and behaviour comfort Cleanliness should be maintained Should be housed seprately to avoid disease transmission Well ventilation Thermal comfort calves should be kept in environment which is neither too hot nor too cold. Feed and water should be easily accessable.
- 6. Weaning Weaning is a critical point in calf’s life because the amount of stress occurs during this period. Weaning is suggested when calf is able to eat one kg of feed daily.
- 7. Diseases management Due to poor immune system calves may be affected by many diseases. Diarrhea and scours are most common diseases which occurs in less then 30 days of age. There are few vaccines which preventing diarrhea. Immunity from colostrum is most effective to protect calves.
- 8. Vaccinations Due to calf’s immature immune system effective vaccination is essential. Vaccines are administered intranasal because nasal passage is major pathway for entry of pathogens. Different vaccines are given for that diseases which are mostly occur in younge calves.
- 9. Thank you
