1, Etiology and Pathology
Pregnant female animals have a single diet, overeating concentrate, especially in the hay season in the late pregnancy, lacking nutrients, protein, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus and other inorganic salts and trace elements, which seriously affects the normal development of the fetus. Therefore, newborn calves are stunted, weak, breast-feeding reflex appears late, and their resistance is low. Secondly, poor ventilation, dark and humid delivery room, or hot and crowded, insufficient light or sudden temperature change can all promote the occurrence of this disease. In addition, improper slavery of female animals, pregnancy diseases, inbreeding, poor semen quality of male animals, premature delivery, twins or meconium retention are also the causes of this disease. ?
2. Clinical symptoms
The light person has a good mental state, moist nose, quick response, flexible action, barking from time to time, no desire to find nipples or not knowing how to suck milk. In severe cases, physical weakness, weakness, muscle relaxation and difficulty in standing and lying down appear. Artificial help barely holds water. Or you can't find your nipples without closing your eyes. The sucking reflex is weak or disappears. If you send it to a cow, it is also a blind bump and you can't find a nipple. When a cow's nipple or finger sticks into its mouth, the sucking reflex is not strong, and the calf has symptoms such as mental fatigue, slow response, cold limbs, dry nose, crimson mouth color and white tongue coating. Auscultation is fast and weak, breathing is shallow, rumen sounds are extremely weak or stop, and the touch is soft; T 38.3~38.8℃, yellow and sticky feces, no peculiar smell.
Step 3 deal with
3. 1 gargle with needles, mainly through customs and nasal septum, with pulp bearing and cavitation. Acupuncture at Tongguan point with the tip of triangular needle, 0.2~0.4 cm along the blood vessel, bleeding; Puncture the midpoint with a triangular needle for 0.2~0.5 cm, and bleed; Use a triangular needle to enter the needle along the air cavity, and stab it obliquely at the back and above by 0.3~0.5 cm respectively. The lower part of the back of the triangular needle penetrated into the medullary point 0.3~0.5 cm, bleeding. Four points are used at the same time, 1 time/day, and 1 ~ 3 times are used continuously. After acupuncture, rub the tongue body, palate, upper and lower lips with salt or artificial salt. Acupuncture calf kept shaking its head, its mouth was bleeding, its tongue kept licking its upper jaw, and its head looked like it was nursing. Calves with mild illness and good health can find their nipples and suck milk a while after the injection.
3.2 replenish energy? 10% glucose 500 ~ 1 000 ml, ringer's solution 500 ~ 1 000 ml, disodium adenosine triphosphate 300~500 mg, CoA 100 ~ 200 u, vitamin b1250. 5 ~ 8ml 10% potassium chloride and 4 ~ 6ml 10% sodium camphor sulfonate are mixed and injected intravenously, 1 time/day, for 1 ~ 3 times continuously. Astragalus injection 10 ~ 20 ml, vitamin d colloidal calcium 5 ~ 10~20 ml, intramuscular injection respectively, 1 time/day, continuous 1 ~ 3 times. Sodium selenite ve injection 3 ~ 8 ml, 1 intramuscular injection.
3.3 When will the oil return? 300-500ml of liquid paraffin and 20-50g of angelica powder. First, the paraffin is fried and cooked. After leaving the fire, add angelica powder and stir well. Take it once after the body temperature is reached.
4. Typical case?
Example 1. No.4 Team of Xinzhan Brigade paid the 1 day-old black-and-white mixed calf for medical treatment. Chief complaint: the calf is in good spirits after birth, and does not eat milk, nor does it eat nipples when they are sent to its mouth. Symptoms: the calf is in good mental state, in general physical condition, full of energy, moist nasal endoscope, rapid heartbeat during auscultation and hyperactivity of the first heart sound. Lung sounds are enhanced. Rumen sounds dead, soft to the touch, feces thin and yellowish, no odor, t 38.6℃. The mouth is deep red with white hair. Treatment: put a needle to gargle; At the same time, 10% glucose injection 500 ml, 1 000 ml ringer's solution, ATP 200mg, coa 100 u 20ml, 10%vc injection, vb 1 injection 250 mg,/kloc were used. Intramuscular injection of 5 ml vitamin D colloidal calcium solution and 5 ml sodium selenite ve injection respectively. The next day, the owner informed that the cow began to nurse after coming back.
Example 2: A 2-day-old Simmental crossbred calf raised in Zhongtun Village, Henan Province went to the hospital. Chief complaint: this calf will not suck milk after birth and can't find Daniel. He likes to lie down and suck with his fingers, but he doesn't find excrement. Symptoms: Calves are listless, of medium body, dry nose, weak and fast auscultation, enhanced lung sounds, weak and low rumen sounds, intestinal sounds, yellow meconium, t 38.8℃, red mouth color and white tongue coating. Treatment: gargle with needle and inject energy mixture intravenously, as above. The next day, the calf still didn't feed, and his spirit improved. While treating the upper part, take Youdanggui powder: 500 ml liquid paraffin and 50 g angelica for 2 hours at a time, and the calf begins to suckle, which has developed well now. ?
5. Experience in diagnosis and treatment?
5. 1, needle washing method is to put the tongue needle in to wash the grass mouth, also known as washing the mouth. There are introductions in ancient books, such as "Medical Niu Zongshu" and "Living Beast Magnetic State". Acupoints are used to clear heart fire, strengthen spleen and stomach, and help digestion. On this basis, three acupoints, namely, the middle of the nose, the circulation of qi and the bearing of marrow, are added to strengthen the spleen, stimulate appetite and promote digestion. Adding salt stimulates appetite. Because newborn calves have strong metabolism, do not suck milk, lack nutrition intake and are weak, they should supplement energy mixture, nutrition and enhance their physique. At the same time, the gastrointestinal secretion and digestive function of newborn calves are not perfect, and weak calves do not suck colostrum. In order to prevent intestinal relaxation and autotoxicity caused by meconium stagnation, severe patients should be given Youdanggui powder in time to moisten the stomach, smooth the intestines and relax the bowels.
5.2, strengthen the management of pregnant female livestock, especially in the third trimester. Feed a nutritious and complete diet and make rational use of it. For the calf, find it in time, strengthen nursing and treat it as soon as possible. The main nursing measures are keeping warm, promoting sucking reflex, sucking colostrum as soon as possible and helping digestion, thus improving the survival rate of young animals.
