Parental Care00:55

Parental Care

Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.
Endotracheal Intubation II: Nursing Management01:17

Endotracheal Intubation II: Nursing Management

Endotracheal intubation is a critical procedure that can be lifesaving for many patients with respiratory distress or failure. The role of nursing in managing endotracheal tubes is pivotal, as it involves pre-intubation preparation, assisting during the procedure, and post-extubation care.
1. Nursing Care of Patients Before Intubation
Before the endotracheal intubation procedure, nurses play an essential role in ensuring the process goes smoothly. The nurses must be familiar with intubation...
Imprinting01:22

Imprinting

Behavioral imprinting is observed in some newborn animals and occurs when they develop strong and specific attachments to another animal (usually a parent) following brief, early-life exposures. Offspring imprint onto parents within a brief period after birth or hatching; this time window is called the critical period. Once imprinting occurs, the bond established between the parents and their offspring is usually long-lasting.
Cloning of Dolly the Sheep01:08

Cloning of Dolly the Sheep

The first successfully cloned mammal was Dolly, a sheep, born on 5th July 1996 at Roslin Institute, Scotland. The cloned sheep was named after the American singer Dolly Parton. Dolly lived for seven years and died of respiratory complications, which is speculated to be due to the actual age of her DNA. Because the DNA in cloned cells belongs to an older individual,  the cloned individual’s life expectancy may be affected. Indeed, analysis of Dolly’s DNA revealed shorter telomeres than other...
Development of Human Microbiota01:30

Development of Human Microbiota

The human microbiota begins developing at birth and undergoes continual change as we age. Infancy marks a critical period of microbial sensitivity, offering a “window of opportunity” during which beneficial microbes help mature the immune system. By age three, children typically develop a more stable and diverse microbial community. Newborns acquire microbes from their immediate environment; vaginal delivery favors maternal vaginal microbes, while cesarean births favor microbes from the skin...
Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention01:30

Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention

Nursing management of pneumonia involves promoting airway patency, facilitating rest and conserving energy, encouraging fluid intake, maintaining nutrition, and educating patients.
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed.

Summary

High perinatal calf mortality persists on dairy farms. Implementing active management of calving and newborn calf care, led by veterinarians, can significantly improve calf health and welfare.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Animal Science
  • Dairy Husbandry

Background:

  • Perinatal calf mortality remains a significant issue in dairy farming, despite overall herd health improvements.
  • High mortality rates negatively impact farm productivity and animal welfare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline key management strategies for reducing perinatal calf mortality.
  • To emphasize the role of veterinarian-led producer implementation in improving newborn dairy calf care.

Main Methods:

  • Review of critical components of successful newborn dairy calf management.
  • Focus on timely calving management, calving assistance, newborn evaluation, resuscitation, navel care, and housing.

Main Results:

  • Successful management involves timely relocation to maternity housing, discreet supervision, prompt assistance, immediate evaluation and resuscitation of at-risk calves, strategic navel antisepsis, early problem detection, and hygienic housing.
  • Active management protocols are crucial for addressing perinatal challenges.

    • Conclusions:

    • Veterinarian-led producer implementation of active management practices can enhance perinatal welfare and health in newborn dairy calves.
    • Adoption of these strategies is essential for reducing unacceptably high calf mortality rates.
