Around calving, cows go through a very complicated phase, due to the stress of calving and the transition from a lot of roughage to a faster ration with high energy levels. The cow also tries to produce to her genetic maximum level, while preparing for a new pregnancy. Increasing the energy level in the ration can disrupt rumen function, causing other problems, which mainly occur around calving, to arise: a calcium deficiency, mastitis, claw problems, twisted abomasum, etc. All these problems around calving have an effect on the immune system and the digestive tract and often cause an imbalance with many harmful bacteria in the intestines. This is bad for the health of the animal. Digestive problems and diseases around calving prevent the cow from achieving her production potential and achieving an energy balance, so she will not become pregnant. The conclusion is that “calf problems” are the main cause of “removal” from the farm.
