🩸🐄 بچھڑوں میں سیرم ٹوٹل پروٹین (STP) کی اہمیت 🐄🩸

بچھڑوں کی صحت اور مدافعتی نظام کی نگرانی کے لیے سیرم ٹوٹل پروٹین (STP) کا ٹیسٹ بہت اہم ہے۔

🧪 STP کیا ہے؟

STP خون میں موجود پروٹین کی مقدار کو ظاہر کرتا ہے، خاص طور پر امیونوگلوبیولنز (مدافعتی اجزاء) کی سطح کو۔ چونکہ بچھڑے بغیر مدافعتی نظام کے پیدا ہوتے ہیں، انہیں پیدائش کے فوراً بعد اچھی کوالٹی کا کولوسٹرم (پہلا دودھ) پلانا ضروری ہوتا ہے تاکہ مدافعتی تحفظ مل سکے۔

---

✅ مطلوبہ STP سطح کیا ہونی چاہیے؟

STP سطح (g/dL) تشریح

5.5 سے زیادہ مناسب مدافعتی منتقلی
5.5 سے کم مدافعتی نظام کی ناکافی منتقلی (FPT)
8.5 سے زیادہ جسم میں پانی کی کمی (ڈی ہائیڈریشن) کا امکان

> 📌 اگر STP کی سطح کم ہو تو بچھڑا بیماریوں جیسے دست، نمونیا، ناف کی سوجن اور کمزور نشوونما کا شکار ہو سکتا ہے۔

---

💉 ٹیسٹ کیسے کیا جاتا ہے؟

1. بچھڑے کی jugular vein (گردن کی رگ) سے خون لیا جاتا ہے۔

2. خون کو centrifuge کیا جاتا ہے تاکہ سیرم الگ ہو جائے۔

3. شفاف سیرم کو refractometer پر رکھا جاتا ہے، جو ہمیں STP کی درست مقدار بتاتا ہے۔

---

📊 اگر کئی بچھڑوں میں STP کا لیول نارمل نہ ہو تو؟

اس کا مطلب ہو سکتا ہے کہ کولوسٹرم منیجمنٹ درست نہیں۔

پیدائش میں مشکل، تناؤ یا پانی کی کمی بھی اس کا سبب بن سکتے ہیں۔

---

📍 یاد رکھیں:
بروقت اور مناسب کولوسٹرم پلانا ہر بچھڑے کی صحت مند زندگی کی بنیاد ہے!
STP ٹیسٹ آپ کو مدافعتی نظام کے معیار کی فوری جانچ کا موقع دیتا ہے۔

Healthy calf rearing is crucial for the future productivity of cattle herds, especially in countries like Pakistan where livestock plays a significant role in rural economies. Here are key strategies for healthy calf rearing in Pakistan:

1. Colostrum Management

Give colostrum within 2 hours of birth, ideally within the first hour.

Ensure the calf consumes 10% of its body weight in colostrum within the first 24 hours.

Use clean feeding equipment to avoid infections.

2. Proper Nutrition

After colostrum, feed good-quality milk or milk replacer for the first 2-3 months.

Introduce calf starter feed from day 7 to develop the rumen.

Provide clean, fresh water at all times, especially in hot climates.

3. Hygiene and Housing

Keep the calving area clean and dry to reduce disease risk.

Calves should be kept in well-ventilated, dry, and comfortable housing.

Clean feeding buckets and bedding regularly to avoid bacterial buildup.

4. Vaccination and Disease Control

Follow a vaccination schedule against common diseases (like FMD, HS, BQ).

Deworm calves regularly starting from 3-4 weeks of age.

Monitor for signs of scours and pneumonia, and treat promptly.

5. Navel Care

Dip the calf’s navel in iodine solution right after birth to prevent infections.

6. Identification and Record Keeping

Use ear tags or tattoos to identify calves.

Keep records of birth date, weight, health treatments, and feeding.

7. Weaning Practices

Wean calves at around 8-12 weeks, based on weight and feed intake.

Avoid sudden changes in diet to reduce stress.

8. Farmer Education and Training

Conduct awareness programs for farmers about modern calf-rearing practices.

Promote the use of veterinary and extension services.

Biotin (Vitamin B7) plays a crucial role in the health and productivity of cows, particularly in the following areas:

1. Hoof Health: Biotin is essential for keratin synthesis, which is important for strong and healthy hooves. Supplementing biotin can help reduce lameness and improve claw horn quality, especially in dairy cows.

2. Milk Production: Some studies suggest that biotin supplementation may slightly improve milk yield in high-producing dairy cows, likely due to improved overall health and metabolism.

3. Energy Metabolism: Biotin functions as a coenzyme in several metabolic pathways, particularly in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and amino acids. This supports general energy production and overall metabolic health.

4. Skin and Coat Condition: Biotin supports the health of the skin and hair, which can reflect overall nutritional status.

In general, cows usually synthesize enough biotin in the rumen, but high-producing dairy cows or those under stress might benefit from additional supplementation.

**🌽 Maximize Your Feed Potential with High-Quality Corn Silage! 🌽**

Corn silage is a **nutrient-rich, cost-effective** forage that’s a staple in dairy and beef cattle diets. Packed with **energy, fiber, and digestible nutrients**, it supports optimal animal performance and milk production.

# # # **✅ Key Benefits of Corn Silage:**
✔ **High Energy** – Rich in starch from corn grain, providing readily available energy.
✔ **Excellent Fiber Source** – Aids in rumen health and digestion.
✔ **Palatable & Consistent** – Animals love it, and it maintains quality when stored properly.
✔ **Boosts Milk Production** – Ideal for high-yielding dairy cows.
✔ **Reduces Feed Costs** – A cost-efficient alternative to other forages.

# # # **📊 Nutritional Value (Approx. per kg DM):**
- **Dry Matter:** 30-35%
- **Crude Protein:** 7-9%
- **NDF (Fiber):** 40-50%
- **Starch:** 25-35%
- **Energy (TDN):** 65-72%

**💡 Pro Tip:** Proper harvesting (at 30-35% DM) and ensiling (good compaction & sealing) ensure top-quality silage!

Invest in **high-quality corn silage** for healthier, more productive livestock! 🐄🚜

𝗘𝗬𝗘𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗠 𝗜𝗡 𝗗𝗢𝗚𝗦

Thelazia callipaeda is a spirurid of dogs, which can also be found in cats and wildlife such as foxes and hares.

🪱This parasite is transmitted by secretophagous fliesflies, which is a fruit fly that feeds on lachrymal secretions of mammals. It is zoonotic.

🪱Thelazia callipaeda has been reported in several parts of Europe and Asia,

🪱including China, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.

Clinical signs

🚨In most cases, T. callipaeda infection in dogs is asymptomatic, but clinical signs may include mild conjunctivitis, blepharitis, epiphora, periocular pruritus and, in severe cases, corneal oedema and keratitis (Fig 1).

🚨Blindness may eventually occur in severe cases that are left untreated.

Diagnosis

🔬Diagnosis is achieved by visual inspection and retrieval of adult worms in the eye of infected hosts.

🔬First-stage larvae of the parasite may also be found in ocular secretions.
