The Consulting Nutritionist

摘要

For most folks, calving is just a couple of months away. However, the time to think about preventing retained placentas is now because most cases are caused by simple, easily preventable, nutrient deficiencies. For the record, some retained placentasare apparently related to uterine infection. In such cases, you need a veterinarian, not a nutritionist. Call one who does a lot of cow-calf work. If you treat the cows yourself, be careful with intrauteiine boluses. Some reproduction experts say the boluses can do more harm than good as crud and debris from the placenta often get passed through the cervix with the bolus.
