Causes of Adult Cow Mortalities: Key Areas and Practical Solutions

The health and productivity of dairy cows are essential for a thriving operation. By addressing the key causes of adult cow mortalities, farmers can mitigate losses and improve overall herd performance. Below are four critical areas to focus on:

  1. Nutritional/Metabolic Disorders
    Cows with poor nutrition or metabolic imbalances are prone to conditions like ketosis, milk fever, and displaced abomasum. These issues lead to decreased productivity and higher mortality rates.

Solution: Incorporate Booster+®, a high-protein and energy-rich supplement that improves metabolic processes, boosts milk yield, and enhances body condition. It is particularly effective in helping previously ill cows recover and countering delayed heat onset in milking cows.

  1. Infectious Diseases
    Infections like mastitis and pneumonia remain a leading cause of cow fatalities. These diseases can spread rapidly within herds, especially under poor hygiene or stressful conditions.

Solution: Focus on early diagnosis and preventive care to reduce the impact of infections. Nutritional support, such as Tranzpro®, can improve recovery for sick cows while enhancing appetite and supporting peak milk production.

  1. Notifiable Diseases
    Diseases such as Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) and Bovine Tuberculosis require immediate action due to their contagious and regulatory implications. Herd management and vaccinations are crucial in preventing outbreaks.

Solution: Proactive monitoring and supplementation can support cows’ overall resilience. Tranzpro® is particularly effective in minimizing risks during transitions, such as calving, and accelerating recovery.

  1. Physical Injuries
    Handling errors, accidents, or rough environments often result in physical injuries, which, if left untreated, can lead to infections or premature culling.

Solution: Prevention is key. Ensuring a safe environment and proper handling can minimize injuries, while targeted nutritional solutions can aid recovery for affected cows.
Enhance Herd Productivity with Targeted Solutions
Products like Booster+® and Tranzpro® are designed to address key challenges faced by dairy cows:

Booster+®: Enhances metabolism, increases milk yield, supports recovery, and improves body condition.

Tranzpro®: Promotes udder health, prevents complications like retained afterbirth, enhances appetite, and accelerates peak milk production.
By focusing on these critical areas and incorporating tailored solutions where necessary, you can ensure the health and productivity of your herd.
