A cow for any owner is one of the most important animals. In most cases, cattle are not capricious and not overly demanding. It is still important to monitor their comfort and health, since any violation can lead to serious complications. The appearance of spotting in a cow is especially dangerous, since in rare cases it can mean minor injuries to the mucous membranes. Initially, it is determined where the blood comes from and the reason for the discharge. In most cases, bleeding indicates a serious disorder.

Breeding rules for cattle

In order to raise healthy cows that will yield a lot of milk, it is important to provide them with the most comfortable living conditions. Certain requirements are imposed on the premises where the cows will be grown. They should be:

  • equipped with a ventilation system;
  • walls and partitions must be resistant to disinfectants and must not emit harmful toxic substances;
  • the passage and floors in the stall should not be slippery; it is better to cover the aisles with special rugs so that it is not slippery to walk.

Cow

The barn is regularly cleaned of manure, disinfection to fight insects. Regular disinfectant treatments will help prevent many infectious diseases.

So that animals do not get sick, and the digestive system works perfectly, they are provided with the correct balanced diet. Feed must be of high quality and fresh.

Important! It is not allowed to use moldy or rotten foods in food. They are the ones that cause many digestive problems. Cow feed must be fresh and of good quality.

In the summer, the animals are provided with free range on pastures. Often the cows only return to the stall overnight.

Important! It is not recommended to send cows to graze when temperatures are below zero at night.

For the normal well-being of animals, it is important to adhere to the diet and daily routine. Any change in the schedule will become stressful for them, which will negatively affect their health.

Blood discharge from a cow after calving

Bleeding from representatives of cattle can be observed at different periods of life, as well as after certain situations. Most often, bleeding can appear after calving an animal. This can be due to several periods:

  • Ovulatory;
  • Insemination;
  • Gynecological diseases;
  • Inflammatory processes.

Bleeding from a cow

The cow has lost milk (reasons)

In the postpartum period, more often than not, bleeding can open due to inflammatory processes in the walls of the uterus (endometritis). This disease manifests itself as follows. On day 4-5, mucous discharge begins to appear, on which a bloody mesh is clearly drawn.

Every day, the red color in the discharge becomes more and more, and gradually they acquire a brown, even brown color. At the same time, a high temperature is observed in parallel, the animal seems lethargic and tired, there is no appetite.

On a note. On examination, the veterinarian in such cases clearly identifies the swelling of the uterus, where there is a clear accumulation of fluid with blood.

Remaining afterbirth can be another cause of bleeding after calving. This leads to severe blood loss.

Important! If you do not remove the placenta manually, the animal may die.

Bleeding after coating

Bleeding from a cow after covering can cause spontaneous abortion, or miscarriage, which most often occurs in the early stages. Most often, after artificial insemination, bloody discharge appears for 2-3 weeks. This can be a symptom of placental abruption and calf death.

Tympania in a cow

In most cases, after examination by a veterinarian, it is established that the miscarriage and cleansing of the uterus occurred on their own. Sometimes, with bleeding, pregnancy persists, but this is a clear sign that it will proceed with complications, and the likelihood of miscarriage will be high in other periods. Also, do not be surprised if the cows were inseminated, and the next day they bleed. If the blood continues to appear, then it is worth calling the veterinarian. If, after insemination, the cow blots a little, it's okay. This may indicate damage to small vessels during the procedure.

There are several reasons for this phenomenon:

  • Wrong diet;
  • Inflammatory processes of a chronic nature that have not been cured earlier after previous cow calving.

On a note. As practice shows, very often in such situations, a cow bears a calf, and it appears healthy and full. Animals are by nature very strong and hardy, therefore they are able to cope with such conditions on their own.

Bloody discharge is natural, which occurs on the first day after ovulation. Such discharge indicates that the vessels on the walls of the uterus burst, and the animal is ready for mating.

Calf has feces with blood

With some problems and disorders in the body, blood vessels can burst. This leads to the fact that the feces will be bloody.

Calf Feces

The cow's eyes are watery

There are several factors that answer the question of why a calf has feces with blood:

  • Food poisoning of an animal;
  • Presence of toxic components in calf food;
  • A large amount of table salt in food;
  • Use for feeding poor quality feed, for example, with mold.

All such moments with nutrition can cause the appearance of bleeding in the feces.

On a note. Also, infectious diseases can provoke such discharge: salmonellosis and enteritis.

Such situations can be very dangerous, since when the blood vessels are disturbed, blood ends up in the stomach and other organs of the digestive system, which, in turn, can provoke the development of sepsis or infection.

Feces with blood in adult animals

Similar reasons provoke the appearance of bloody discharge in the feces in adult animals. They can indicate serious disturbances in the digestive system. The cause of blood in the feces of bulls and cows can be banal mechanical damage.

Feces with blood in a cow

For example, when animals graze freely in the fields, they can eat hard, indigestible objects along with the grass. When they go out with feces, damage to the walls of the anus occurs. The wounds are bleeding and the cow is bleeding from the anus.

The cow is bleeding from the nose

The mucous membrane of the animal's nose is the most susceptible organs to various diseases and mechanical damage. It is very easy to damage it. First, you need to determine the reasons why the cow is bleeding from the nose, then engage in treatment.

There can be a lot of reasons for damage:

  • using nasal forceps or nasal probes;
  • ingress of foreign bodies into the nostrils;
  • the formation of neoplasms;
  • defeat by infectious diseases (anthrax, tuberculosis);
  • non-communicable diseases (hemophilia, scurvy, atherosclerosis);
  • metabolic disorders during pregnancy;
  • diseases of the stomach and lungs.

Note! One of the common causes of nosebleeds can be parasitic infections. When damaged by the nasopharyngeal gadfly, their reproduction, painful for the animal, occurs.

The nature of bleeding can be determined by the color of the secreted blood substance. With bright scarlet bubbling blood, we can talk about pulmonary hemorrhage, with discharge of a brown dirty mass, we will already talk about gastric bleeding. If the digestive system is disrupted, vomiting may occur in parallel.

On a note. If the blood protrudes evenly and at the same time quickly coagulates into a dense mass, then you can safely exclude diseases such as anthrax, tuberculosis, hemophilia.

Prevention of bleeding

The basic rule of preventing any disease in cows is proper animal care.

First of all, it is important to provide the correct diet for the animal. Food should contain vitamins, micro- and macronutrients. You should minimize the amount of juicy feed, as well as protein foods.

Healthy cow nutrition

It is important for a pregnant cow to be in a comfortable environment. The room should be ventilated, cleaned regularly and kept warm.

If the animal's hormonal background is disturbed, she is given a course of drugs based on the necessary hormones, but this should be done exclusively by a veterinarian.

Council. If bleeding occurs, even for trivial reasons, treatment should be carried out promptly. If it is a mechanical wound or cut, then the edges of the holes are processed and the damaged area is sealed.

Tips from experienced breeders

Experienced livestock breeders who have been breeding cattle for a long time have formed a number of recommendations that will help to cope with many problems, and sometimes promptly warn them:

  1. To reduce the likelihood of bleeding artificially, you can reduce the concentration of sugar in the animal's blood, for this, about 400 grams are given per day. Sahara.
  2. When changing the diet, the products are introduced gradually so as not to provoke a stressful state in the animal.
  3. It is necessary to ensure that the daily routine does not change significantly. Any stress can provoke a complication of pregnancy and lead to spontaneous abortion.
  4. Do not panic when a cow has bleeding, what this means must be determined first by calling a veterinarian who will then prescribe treatment.
  5. If a decision is made to inseminate a cow without the participation of a bull, it is necessary to artificially fertilize the animal only by a professional veterinarian under sterile conditions.
  6. Natural mating should also only be done under sterile conditions and so that the cow is not injured.

Most often, spotting in cattle indicates serious disorders and diseases. Therefore, the pet owner should be very attentive to his pet. If any discharge appears, it is best to contact your veterinarian to establish the true cause and begin timely and correct treatment.
