 Puberty at 9 to 12 months of age
 Estrous cycle is 21 days + 3 days
 Standing heat or estrus is 12 to
18 hrs.
 Ovulation occurs after estrus.
 Gestation period is 285 days + 5
days
Basic Bovine Reproductive Facts
 The future of any animal husbandry depends on the successful raising of the
neonates as replacement stock
 Today’s calves is tomorrow’s Yak cows & bulls
 Neonatal physiology is unpredictably different from adult, they are born
immunologically naive thereby, unable to mount any sort of response to infection
 livestock owner should take every possible care to provide suitable environment
by implementing scientific methods of care and management

 Colostrum: first milk produced by the dam prior to and during the first few days
after calving. It is thick and yellowish in colour.
 less lactose (sugar) but 4 to 5 times more protein
 10 to 15 times more vitamin-A than normal milk.
 It is also rich in minerals like Cu, Fe, Mg and Mn
 Contains vitamins like Riboflavin, Cholin, Thiamine, Pantothenic acid etc.
 Contains transferrin and lactoferrin which bind iron and restrict bacterial growth.
Contain
Artificial colostrum?
Artificial colostrum: 600 ml whole milk, 300 ml water, ½ teaspoon of
castor oil, 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of glucose powder.
