The Peripartum Cow: Practical Notes

The Peripartum Cow: Practical Notes addresses the critical window surrounding calving, treating it as a series of interconnected physiological events rather than independent occurrences. The text combines didactic theoretical explanations with an extensive collection of clinical cases to illustrate the complexities of the dry period and early lactation. By emphasizing a holistic assessment of bovine health, the authors provide tools for veterinarians to anticipate and prevent common peripartum disorders, thereby improving farm management and animal welfare.
