Ep 208: Mitigating Pregnancy Loss In Cow Herds
Losing calves during pregnancy may not be a big factor in your operation, but it’s still a loss and it does affect your bottom line. So today Chloe Collins (University of Missouri Extension) walks us through what can cause Gestational Pregnancy Loss during the Early Embryonic phase of the first 45 days to the fetal period from 45 days to birth. Plus, ways to mitigate those losses in both our young cows and older cows. It may not seem like a real problem in your cow herd, but maybe just understanding it a little better could increase your calf crop by 1 or 2 percent.
