following questions:
• Is the cow pregnant?
• Are there other reasons for an increased
activity?
• Is the time from the last observed heat
right?
• Is the current milk yield lower just now?
• Is the feed consumption reduced?
If the answers indicate an approaching
heat, it's time to take a look at the cow, to
find out if she is in heat.
Checking the heat symptoms is still very important!Checking the heat symptoms is still very important!
