Why calving patterns are important
|
 | | Gavin Staley, DVM, MS Diamond V |
Herds where calvings occur in "slugs," usually during summer and/or winter, have calving patterns that strain facility capacity and available labor. Pronounced calving patterns also correlate with health problems such as mastitis and metritis. Smoothing out the "ups and downs" of calving patterns brings a lot of benefits.

Pronounced calving pattern? Improve reproductive efficiency
|
 | | Gavin Staley, DVM, MS Diamond V |
Calving patterns appear as a result of periods of reproductive inefficiency, which usually involving lower heat detection and/or conception rate. They're herd-specific and often respond to heat abatement, transition management, and robust reproductive protocols.
However, if the underlying challenges go unresolved, over time the calving pattern comes back. Smoothing out calving patterns starts with a reproductive protocol robust enough to ensure that cows get bred in a timely manner.
