Fetotomy in bovines by Dr Dushyant Yadav BASU, Patna INDIADrDushyant Yadav
Fetotomy is the process of sectioning a fetus into parts to facilitate delivery through the birth canal. There are two main types - partial fetotomy which divides parts of the fetus, and total fetotomy which divides the entire fetus. The document outlines the various techniques for fetotomy based on fetal presentation, including the 6 main cuts typically needed for anterior presentation and 5 for posterior. It also discusses instruments, indications, precautions and post-care for fetotomy. Fetotomy aims to reduce fetal size to allow vaginal delivery but can cause injuries if not performed carefully.
Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine student Amy Gansemer presents a case of Pyometra in a canine patient as seen at Iowa Veterinary Specialties.
Canine pyometra is a uterine infection in intact female dogs that occurs during diestrus. It is caused by bacterial infection, usually E. coli, within the uterus under the influence of progesterone. Clinical signs include vaginal discharge, fever, lethargy, vomiting, and polyuria/polydipsia. Diagnosis involves abdominal palpation, ultrasonography, and clinical pathology. Treatment of choice is ovariohysterectomy, while antibiotics and prostaglandins may be used for medical management in some cases. Prognosis is good with early diagnosis and intervention to prevent systemic complications.
This document discusses the clinical management of anestrum, or lack of estrus cycles, in cows. It begins by classifying anestrum cases based on the presence or absence of a corpus luteum on the ovaries. Causes of anestrum include hereditary conditions, low nutrition, aging, disease, pregnancy, functional anestrum (silent heat), persistent corpus luteum, and cystic ovaries. The document provides details on diagnosing and treating each cause, with an emphasis on improving nutrition, synchronization of estrus, and use of prostaglandins or GnRH to resolve persistent structures and resume estrus cycles.

This document discusses cystic endometrial hyperplasia and pyometra in dogs. Pyometra occurs when bacteria infects the thickened uterus of female dogs during estrus. It can be open or closed pyometra. Breeds like Irish Terriers, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and Miniature Schnauzers are more prone. Progesterone causes endometrial growth and glandular secretions, allowing bacterial overgrowth. Clinical signs differ between open and closed pyometra and include discharge, abdominal distension, lethargy, and vomiting. Treatment involves antibiotics, surgery, and prostaglandin drugs to induce heat cycles and uterine contractions.
dystocia in cattle sheep and goat.pptxyarmi goriya
Dystocia, or difficult birth, can be caused by issues with the expulsive forces of the mother, fetal abnormalities, or fetal malpresentation, position, or posture. Maternal causes include uterine inertia, cervical dilation failure, uterine torsion, and pelvic disproportion. Fetal issues include abnormalities (monsters), malpositioning such as breech or limb flexion, and disproportion between fetus and birth canal size. Correcting dystocia involves restoring normal presentation, position, and posture through techniques like repulsion, rotation, version, and limb adjustment (mutation). Traction can then be applied at appropriate points. Complications of dystocia include injury to the calf such as asphyxia or fractures, and injury
Downer cow syndrome is defined as a cow that has been recumbent for over 24 hours, usually following parturient paresis or milk fever. It can be caused by metabolic disorders like hypocalcemia, traumatic injuries, or severe toxemia around the time of calving. Affected cows remain recumbent even after calcium treatment and are at risk for muscle and nerve damage from prolonged pressure. Treatment aims to correct biochemical imbalances and get the cow standing, while prevention focuses on promptly and adequately treating milk fever and calving complications.
Induction of parturition & elective termination of pregnancyMahalingeshwara Mali
this ppt briefs about induction of parturition and elective termination of pregnancy in farm and pet animals, which may be helpful for the veterinary undergraduates, field veterinarians, and farm managers to extend their knowledge in this aspect.
Caesarean section, also known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure where incisions are made through a woman's abdomen and uterus to deliver one or more babies. Indications for a C-section include uterine inertia, obstructive dystocia, rupture of the uterus, animal in compromised condition, twin pregnancy in mares, and incomplete cervical dilation. The ideal conditions for surgery include a clean area with minimal airborne contamination to prevent post-operative complications. The incision site varies by species, with dogs receiving a ventral midline incision and cattle receiving a left lower flank incision. During the procedure, the fetus is removed, the umbilical cord is ligated and
This document discusses dystocia (difficult birth) in sheep and goats. It describes various causes of dystocia including oversized fetuses, malpresentation, and complications during delivery. Problems that can occur before and after birth are also outlined, such as pregnancy toxemia, milk fever, ringwomb, vaginal prolapse, and retained placenta. Guidelines are provided for identifying when human assistance is needed during delivery and how to properly assist, including correcting fetal malpositions. Reviving distressed lambs/kids and avoiding common mistakes during assistance are also addressed.
This document discusses the parturition (birthing) process in mares and buffalo, dividing it into three stages. For mares, stage one involves restlessness, stage two begins with rupture of fetal membranes and ends with fetal expulsion over 15-30 minutes, and stage three expels the fetal membranes over 3 hours. For buffalo, stage one lasts 1-12 hours with behavioral changes, stage two lasts 45-90 minutes and ends with fetal expulsion, and stage three expels fetal membranes over 7-12 hours. Understanding parturition helps livestock breeders identify and address problems.
This document discusses factors that affect reproductive efficiency in dairy cows. It notes that as milk production has increased over the past 20-30 years, conception rates have decreased due to negative energy balance in early lactation. The document recommends a goal of 75-85 calves per 100 cows annually for good reproductive performance. Higher pregnancy rates lead to shorter calving intervals and increased lifetime milk production. Proper nutrition and body condition scoring are important to minimize negative energy balance effects on fertility.
This document discusses fetal mummification and maceration in animals. Fetal mummification is the shriveling of the fetus caused by the absorption of fluids from the fetus and uterus, leading to the death of the fetus. It can be caused by genetic abnormalities, hormonal issues, or problems with the placenta or umbilical cord. Maceration occurs when the fetus dies but is not aborted, causing it to become putrefied inside the uterus. Both conditions require veterinary intervention such as medications to induce abortion or surgical removal of the remains if abortion does not occur naturally.
Sub-clinical endometritis and its effect on the fertility of dairy cattlehabtamu kenide
(1) Subclinical endometritis is a prevalent uterine disease affecting approximately 30% of dairy cows that can decrease fertility. It occurs when the uterus is inflamed without visible discharge.
(2) Risk factors for subclinical endometritis include retained placenta, difficult births, and poor management practices around calving which allow infectious agents to enter the uterus.
(3) Subclinical endometritis increases the number of services per conception and reduces milk yield and profitability through decreased reproductive performance and increased culling rates. Proper hygiene, diagnosis, and treatment are recommended to control its impact on dairy cow fertility and productivity.
This document discusses obstetrical operations in domestic animals. It describes mutation procedures like repulsion, rotation, and version to correct fetal positioning. Forced extraction using ropes or chains is outlined. Fetotomy techniques like percutaneous and subcutaneous are explained to reduce fetal size. Caesarean section is mentioned as an alternative when assisted vaginal delivery is not possible within 15 minutes. Key points are emphasized for each species, including limiting fetotomy cuts in mares.
The document discusses various methods for fracture fixation in animals, including external coaptation, splinting, casting, pinning, plating, and intramedullary nailing. The methods vary in their advantages and disadvantages depending on the location and type of fracture. Proper technique and design are important for achieving stability and preventing complications.
Mammary glands power point by Dr. Rekha Pathak senior scientist IVRIRekha Pathak
The document summarizes anatomy and common surgical procedures related to the mammary glands. It describes the structure of the mammary glands including teat anatomy. Common conditions addressed by surgery are discussed such as teat lacerations, fistulas, papillomas/warts, lactoliths, and teat spiders. Surgical techniques including anesthesia, wound closure, and treatment are outlined for various conditions affecting the mammary glands and teats.
Uterine prolapse occurs when the uterus slips from its normal position into the vaginal canal. It has four stages based on how far the cervix protrudes. Causes include difficult births, weak pelvic muscles, surgery, and excessive calf size. Treatment involves manually pushing the uterus back into place, applying disinfectants, sutures to prevent reoccurrence, and antibiotics. The condition has a better prognosis if treated early, and survival rates depend on the cow's posture and presence of other complications like milk fever. Fertility can be impacted after uterine prolapse.
A common disease of cattle and may also in dog, cat, sheep, goat, mare, Buffalo. The slides contain an introduction, causes of torsion, clinical signs and symptoms, torsion causes, treatment.
Hereditary factors can cause various forms of infertility in females. Some key hereditary causes mentioned in the document include true hermaphroditism, where both ovarian and testicular tissue is present; White Heifer Disease, where recessive genes cause Mullerian duct abnormalities leading to issues like uterine unicorns; and ovarian aplasia or hypoplasia, where one or both ovaries are missing or underdeveloped causing sterility. Developmental abnormalities of the uterus, cervix or vagina can also persist due to genetic factors. Females with these hereditary conditions often have impaired fertility or are completely sterile.

This document provides an overview of maternal and child nursing. It begins by describing the female reproductive anatomy including external organs like the labia and internal organs like the uterus and ovaries. It then discusses the female pelvis and variations in pelvic structure. The document also covers the menstrual cycle and hormonal changes. Finally, it summarizes the stages of fetal development from fertilization through implantation and formation of the placenta and fetal membranes.
1) The document discusses human sexuality and sexual anatomy and physiology. It defines key terms related to gender and sexuality and describes the external and internal sexual organs of both males and females.
2) For females, it details the structures of the external genitalia including the labia, clitoris, and vaginal opening. It also describes the internal reproductive organs of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
3) For males, it identifies the external structures of the penis and scrotum and notes the internal processes of spermatogenesis in the testes, epididymis, and vas deferens.
This document discusses placental classification in mammals. It describes how placentas are classified based on the fetal membranes involved (yolk sac or chorioallantoic), nature of contact with the uterus (indeciduate or deciduate), villi distribution (diffuse, cotyledonary, etc.), and histological intimacy with maternal tissues (epitheliochorial, syndesmochorial, etc.). The formation and development of the placenta from implantation through birth is explained. Various placental structures and types found in different mammalian orders are outlined.
This document discusses the first stage of labor and its management. The main events of the first stage are dilatation of the cervix and effacement of the cervix. It describes the processes involved like softening and thinning of the cervix. Management of the first stage focuses on monitoring the mother and fetus, providing comfort, and assessing progress. Complications that may arise include maternal distress, fetal distress, cephalopelvic disproportion, and prolonged labor.
The placenta develops from trophoblast cells of the embryo. It forms chorionic villi which branch into tertiary villi containing fetal blood vessels. The placenta supports fetal growth through nutrient and gas exchange between maternal and fetal blood across the thin placental membrane. It also produces hormones like HCG, progesterone and estrogen essential for maintaining pregnancy. The mature placenta has a fetal side and a maternal side with cotyledons and septa. It transfers nutrients, gases, antibodies and metabolites while acting as a barrier and producing hormones throughout gestation. Exposure to certain chemicals, drugs or infections during pregnancy can potentially cause fetal abnormalities known as teratogenesis.
This document defines and discusses transverse lie, which occurs when the long axis of the fetus lies perpendicular to the maternal spine. Key points include:
- Transverse lie has an incidence of about 1 in 300 births and is more common in multiparous women and preterm fetuses.
- Diagnosis involves abdominal and vaginal exams to identify the fetal parts in unusual positions.
- Spontaneous delivery is very rare and management typically involves external cephalic version to change the lie, followed by induction if successful. Cesarean delivery is required if version fails or the fetus is in distress.
The document summarizes the process of human reproduction from fertilization through embryonic and fetal development to childbirth. It describes how sperm and eggs are produced, fertilization in the fallopian tube, cleavage and formation of the morula and blastocyst. Implantation in the uterus and formation of the placenta and amniotic sac are explained. Stages of embryonic and fetal development through the trimesters are outlined. The roles of the placenta, umbilical cord and amniotic fluid are summarized. Childbirth and postnatal development including lactation are briefly described. Common topics like twins and congenital abnormalities are also covered at a high level.

It emphasizes being prepared, diagnosing issues early, contacting a veterinarian for assistance, and considering early referral for difficult deliveries to improve outcomes for the mare and foal.
summarised events from 9th week of intrauterine life to the birth. This period is called fetal development and highlights of these events in a comprehensive manner.
This document discusses breech delivery, including definitions, types, incidence, diagnosis, management, and risks. It defines breech delivery as presentation where the fetus is in a longitudinal lie with the buttocks presenting at the pelvis. The main types are complete and frank breech. Incidence is low where high parity births are minimal and cephalic version is routinely performed. Management includes attempting external cephalic version after 37 weeks or planning for cesarean section. Vaginal breech delivery carries risks to the fetus like intracranial damage so careful maneuvers are needed during the second stage of labor to prevent complications.

MALE AND FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Science 10.pptxSirNav1
The document discusses the male and female reproductive systems and their functions in producing sperm and egg cells. It notes that the female reproductive system receives sperm, carries the developing baby, and gave birth to Louise Brown, the first baby conceived via in vitro fertilization in 1978. While her birth sparked moral outrage, IVF is now widely accepted as a solution for fertility problems due to its high success rate.
The topic discussed here is the Process of fertilization, different stages of fertilization, Implantation, Gastrulation, Formation of foetal membranes, Development of Embryo, Labor & Parturition
Development of face, palate, tongue and mandiblePankajGoyal79
The document discusses the development of the face, palate, and jaws. It begins by defining growth and development. It then covers the embryonic stages of development from zygote to fetus. Key structures that form include the pharyngeal arches, which give rise to muscles and bones. The development of specific structures is then outlined, including the face from the frontonasal and mandibular prominences, palate from the medial nasal processes, and jaws from the mandibular arch. Finally, some common developmental anomalies of these structures are briefly mentioned.
Cord prolapse is a frightening and life-threatening event that occurs in labor. Rapid identification and immediate appropriate response may well save the life of a neonate. Therefore, clinicians should be knowledgeable in its recognition and management.
The document discusses the physiology of labor, including theories of labor initiation and signs that labor is impending or has begun. It describes five theories for what triggers the start of labor: the uterine stretch theory; oxytocin theory; progesterone deprivation theory; prostaglandin theory; and aging placenta theory. It also outlines seven common premonitory or warning signs that labor may start soon: lightening; Braxton Hicks contractions; maternal energy; weight loss; cervical changes; rupture of membranes; and bloody show. Finally, it provides diagnostic criteria for differentiating true labor contractions from false labor contractions based on regularity, location, changes over time, and impact of activity, as well as comparing cervical changes.
The female reproductive system produces gametes and supports embryo development. The ovaries contain developing eggs and produce hormones. During each menstrual cycle, one egg is released from an ovarian follicle during ovulation. If fertilized, it implants in the uterus, where development occurs. The placenta forms to support the growing fetus by exchanging nutrients and waste. Childbirth involves dilation of the cervix and expulsion of the fetus and placenta. The mammary glands produce milk during lactation to nourish a newborn.
Feed costs usually account for up to 75% of costs in a small ruminant enterprise. Reproductive efficiency and market prices also greatly impact profitability. To increase profits, producers should focus on reducing expenses like feed costs through strategies like maximizing pasture use, proper hay storage, and mixing their own rations. Producers should also focus on increasing income through higher reproductive rates and selling surplus lambs and kids. Achieving reproductive rates over 150% and weaning rates over 100% kids/ewes are important benchmarks for profitability.

Proper use of antibiotics, vaccines, and dewormers is also discussed when drugs are necessary.
This document discusses strategies for minimizing drug use in small ruminant production. It begins by listing commonly used drugs like dewormers, vaccines, and antibiotics. It then discusses the risks of antibiotic resistance and regulatory changes around antibiotic use. For small ruminant producers, this means many antibiotics now require a prescription. The document provides alternatives to drug use like vaccinations, pasture management, genetic selection, and targeted selective treatment to control parasites. It emphasizes preventative healthcare through good nutrition, housing, and sanitation.
This document provides information for those considering getting goats. It discusses checking zoning laws and HOA rules, developing facilities and budgets, acquiring goats, and different goat production systems. Key points covered include the need to determine goals for goats, legal and neighbor considerations, ensuring adequate housing, fencing and supplies are in place, and acquiring goats through breeders versus auctions to avoid health risks. Production options like dairy, fiber, meat and vegetation control are overviewed.
Sheep and goats produce many marketable products including meat, fiber, dairy, and vegetation control through grazing. Meat from sheep and goats can be sold through traditional markets like auctions or cooperatives, or through non-traditional direct marketing to consumers. Fiber from sheep and goats can also be sold traditionally through pools or warehouses, or directly to consumers as raw fiber or value-added products. Dairy from sheep and goats has similar regulations to cow dairy but with more limited infrastructure and competition from imports. Sheep and goats can also provide vegetation control services through solar grazing programs.
This document discusses bacterial diseases in animals caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum and Dichelobacter nodusus which can have similar symptoms. Pregnancy toxemia is more common.

This document provides information on managing internal parasites in small ruminants. It discusses the primary internal parasites affecting sheep and goats, including roundworms, tapeworms, flukes, coccidia, and protozoa. An integrated approach to parasite control is recommended, combining management strategies like grazing management with targeted selective treatment. Key management strategies include developing host immunity, husbandry practices, nutritional management, and genetic selection. Diagnostic tools for targeted treatment include FAMACHA, five point check, and fecal egg counts. Combination dewormer treatments are advised to slow development of anthelmintic resistance.
This document discusses strategies for controlling gastrointestinal parasites like Haemonchus contortus (barber pole worm) in small ruminants. It emphasizes using integrated and targeted approaches like selective deworming based on FAMACHA scores, pasture management, and limiting drug use to reduce anthelmintic resistance. Proper administration and alternating between drug classes is also important for effective control. Sustainable practices involve preventing environmental contamination through various animal health and grazing techniques.
This document provides information on dewormer use and resistance in goats from a presentation at Langston University. It discusses proper drug usage, the different drug families and their modes of action, strategies for deworming, and methods to prevent resistance development like the FAMACHA system. The FAMACHA system allows selective treatment by using eye color charts to identify anemia levels and target only animals with scores of 3-5 that likely need deworming.

• Know due dates!
• Feed dams correctly
Obstetrics, Part 1
during gestation

2. NORMAL KIDDING
• Phase 1 = Prepatory period (ligaments relax,
udder fills, fetus repositions, cervix
dilates, cervical plug discharged); lasts
12-36 hours
• Phase 2 = Labor and delivery of kid(s); lasts
5-60+ minutes
• Phase 3 = Passage of fetal membranes and
placenta; lasts 0-12 hours

PHASE 1 PHASE 1
• Pacing
• Vocalizing (“soft talking”)
• Off by self
• Gets up and down often
• Looks at abdomen
• Doesn’t eat
• Paws ground
• May leak milk
• Tailhead ligaments very loose
• Fetus is being presented to cervix,
causing dilation
• Vulva swollen

DYSTOCIA = DIFFICULT DELIVERY
Causes:
• Fetal-maternal relative size mismatch
• Uterine inertia (fatigue, low calcium)
Ut i i ti (f ti l l i )
• Maternal factors: ringwomb, hernias,
starvation, pelvic fracture...
• Malpresentation of fetus
• Fetal monsters or malformations
5
6. MALPRESENTATIONS KEYS TO ASSISTING
• Be clean, be gentle, be patient, be calm
• Head back • Use sterile lubricant
• Leg(s) back • Small hands help
• Jumbled up
Jumbled-up twins/triplets • Use sterile gloves; wash hands, remove jewelry
• Wash and rinse vulvar area thoroughly
• Transverse
• Twins can be very confusing
• True breech (rump and tail presented) • Take time to figure out what you feel
• Posterior presentation (hind feet presented) • Look for key landmarks you can identify
• Poll presented • Have assistant retract does’ vulva
• Be willing to be “repulsive” (retropulse fetus back into
dam)
QUESTIONS WHEN TO ASSIST
• Is she dilated enough?
1. Malpresentation
• Is there an underlying problem?
• Does she just need a tincture of time? 2. No progress after one hour of active labor
• Front leg or hind leg? (doeling) or one half hour (doe)
• One or more kids?
• Which parts are which?!
• Should I check for another kid?
“If you pull one, pull the rest.”
--Dr. Mary C. Smith
LEG BACK HEAD BACK
• Very common
• ID front leg vs. back • Quite common
• ID twins, single or triplets • Could confuse with breech
• Follow leg to chest to other presentation

pushing shoulder back; handle
hoof must be delivered first • Can be difficult to correct if
• Must protect uterus from kid dead a while

7. BREECH POSTERIOR PRESENTATION
• Often: mild signs of labor,
minimal discharge; fetus
dead when checked days • Easier. Why?
later • How to ID hind feet?
• ID via feeling tail, anus, • If ID, don’t dilly-dally; cord
hocks could be compromised so
• Correct by finding and deliver ASAP.
cupping one rear hoof;
bend fetlock; pull lower
leg backward while
elevating hock. Repeat.
ELBOWS BACK (photo from www.fiascofarm.com) MULTIPLE BIRTHS: ALL BETS ARE OFF!
• AKA elbow lock
• Usually easy to correct: pull
one leg forward, then the
other – reduces width of
body to be delivered
• Can indicate a large fetus,
so rotate body 90 while
pulling to prevent hip lock
• Small kids/lambs can be
born this way without trouble From www.esgpip.info/PDF/Technical%20bulletin%20No7.html
WHICH WAY DO THE JOINTS BEND? HIND LEG VS. FORE LEG PERIPARTURIENT PROBLEMS
• Dystocia
• Pregnancy toxemia
• Milk fever
• Abortions
• Retained placentas
• Prolapsed uterus
• Trauma

8. RETAINED PLACENTA OXYTOCIN
• Retained beyond 12 hours
• Causes: infections, premature, abortion, selenium • Natural hormone produced by the posterior lobe
deficiency, calcium deficiency of the pituitary gland
• DON’T PULL! • Causes smooth muscle to contract (uterus,
• Treatment: call your vet myoepithelial cells of udder)

– Oxytocin • Short half life
– Perhaps prostaglandins (goat) • Administer IV or IM
– Antibiotics (intrauterine vs. systemic) • Never give without conducting a vaginal exam—
– NSAIDs help with fever, inflammation, toxins contraindicated with closed cervix
– Tetanus booster
PROLAPSED UTERUS TEARS
•Associated with lack of exercise, • Often due to human adrenalin
nutritional deficiencies, exhaustion toxicity – be patient and WAIT
and/or dystocia
before pulling!
•Treatment: call your vet
• Can be due to fetal-maternal
– Clean, clean, clean (use

– Elevate hind quarters
– Elevate uterus • Tincture of time, manual dilation
usually works
– Use gentle fists, not fingers
– Antibiotics, oxytocin, tetanus booster • If mandatory, make incisions from
vulva at 10 and 2 o’clock; clean,
– No need to stitch vulva if uterus replaced properly
suture after delivery. Rarely, rarely
– “Bit” or bite block prevents doe from straining against needed
prolapse reduction efforts
HEAT-TREATING COLOSTRUM MASTITIS
• Heat colostrum to 135 F for 60 minutes; stir
• Usually caused by bacteria
• Heat-treated or negative colostrum may be • Can be mild to fatal
frozen for up to one year Thaw in warm
year. • Udder: pain, redness, swelling, abnormal milk
water bath, not microwave oven • Most common in unsanitary conditions and at dry-off
time
• Do not pasteurize (inactivates antibodies) • Treatment varies: supportive care, +/- antibiotics;
milk out as often as possible
• Bacterial culture and sensitivity best

9. FLOPPY KID SYNDROME PREGNANCY TOXEMIA
• Most common in late-term fat does
and ewes carrying multiple kids
• Cause = ? • Due to negative energy balance
• Very weak and depressed • Can be precipitated by a sudden lack
of feed or decreased feed intake for
• Kids normal at birth; sick between 3 10 days old
3-10 any reason
• Severe metabolic acidosis without dehydration • Off feed, depressed, weak, act
• Diagnose via signs, bloodwork strange, grinding teeth, fruity breath
• Treatment: sodium bicarbonate orally or by IV, • Preventable by good management:
tube feed, IV fluids, keep warm, TLC make sure does are in a gaining plane
of nutrition during last 6 wks. of
• Positive response to ½ tsp. oral baking soda pregnancy
considered diagnostic
• May need emergency C-section to
save doe’s life
MILK FEVER (ECLAMPSIA, HYPOCALCEMIA) HEALTH KIT
• Rare in sheep • Gloves • Syringes and needles
• Usually within 24 hours pre-or post-kidding/lambing • Aspirin • Alcohol
but can be any time during lactation (does: one • Electrolytes • Antiseptic soap
month post-kidding) • Hemostats • Injectable antibiotics
• Signs: lying down, weak, cold, depressed, trembling

• Chance of milk fever increases with age and • Feeding tube • Dextrose
production?
• Calcium • Propylene glycol
• Watch for recurrence in future lactations
• Electrolytes • Anti-inflammatories
CAUSES OF ABORTIONS RECORD KEEPING
• Birth weight
• Spontaneous regression of CL • Listeriosis • Animal ID
• Exogenous hormones • Salmonella • Dam and sire
• Fetal malformation/genetic • Steroids • Number of kids
error
• Molds/fungi • Kidding ease
• Trauma
• Toxoplasmosis • Treatments, medications
• Maternal illness (fever, • Weaning weight
starvation) • Leptospirosis
• Dates of routine
• Too many feti for uterus to • Immune factors procedures
support • Chlamydiosis / E.A.E. • Illnesses
• Campylobacteriosis (vibriosis) • Selenium deficiency • Birth date
• Toxins • Number of kids weaned
• Pounds of kids weaned

10. GRAFTING KIDDING AND LAMBING SUPPLIES
• Reasons
• Pelt technique
• See handout
• Meconium & fetal fluids • ESSENTIAL:
technique – Tube feeder
• Doe relies on smell, especially
smell – Bo-Se®
