Cows speak #4 - Behaviour & Health

News09/04/2020

The behaviour of cows, an indicator of their good health!

In this farm, the breeder received an alert for a drop in rumination on one of his cows in the herd. (Feed'Live curve)

  • Feed'Live Alert
  • Maintaining Milk production
  • Milk control: 33 of Fat Rate --> Ruminal problem.

The evening's cell test showed mastitis from a quarter. Also, the cow had a slight lameness. This discomfort manifested itself in her schedule: long periods of standing, short periods of ingestion and little rumination.

 

Following the interventions, the cow recovered with more coherent periods of ingestion, ruminations and lying down. Her sanitary state improved; the quality of production should return to normal!

 

Thanks to Medria the breeder was able to react quickly on his animal's problem and then validate its recovery!
