The Calving, part 2

Should we do?

The main technical criteria recommended are:

Perform breeding from January to March for a concentrated calving in the months of January and February, months that have plenty of grass and water available to the laboring mother, ensuring rapid recovery of mothers and new offspring.

Practicing controlled calving consideando uns following:

•   Separate groups of animals (A and B)

Group A: Tuis males tuis females, pregnant females, females calving

Group B: Players males, females empty the previous season and suitable for breeding.

Calves born in group A will be maintained for 15 days to prevent the males to find females, rolled and cause them injury.

After 15 days, the females that have calved in group A will be transferred to their offspring the group B, for breeding

However, when the flock is more than 100 animals is necessary to make a system for large herds calving.

• The herd is divided into 3 groups:

Stay in group 1, only pregnant females and females calving until the next day delivery, and then be transferred to their offspring, group II, the group called collector

Of this group after a postpartum period of 15 days, mothers and pass to another gupo CIRAS III where you start the breeding or what is called "breeding group"

It is important to practice these calving systems by the following advantages:
- It avoids the congestion of females that have calved, females give birth and are empty.
- There is a mjeor health control and management of the females that have calved.
- Females mating before entering the rest have 15 days postpartum to ensure a new pregnancy.
