Enhancing Pre-Partum Cow Nutrition for Improved Calf Survival

Proper pre-partum cow nutrition is crucial for calf survival and overall herd health. Providing adequate nutrition during the last 50 to 60 days of gestation is essential as two-thirds of fetal growth occurs during this period. Ensuring cows are in good condition post-weaning is the cheapest time to improve their body condition. Improving the quality of nutrition during late gestation enhances colostrum quality, reducing health issues in calves. Investing in feed analysis, allocating hay based on quality, and focusing on nutrition before calving can significantly impact calf survival rates and overall herd health.
