ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO CALVING

This Essential guide to calving is an accessible yet complete and exhaustive book which explores in depth the aspects related to calving in an educational and practical manner. In spite of having cows calving all year long on our farms, many of them do not receive the care they deserve, when this is in fact an event on which the performance and economy of the operation greatly depend. From the factors that predispose to dystocia (a problematic delivery), its prevention and the management of cows during gestation, as well as the physiological bases of calving and the problems we can encounter, to the management of the dam and calf during the postpartum period, this book addresses the most important issues in an easy manner and gives simple answers to the questions we may have.
