“The key to success is well coordinated work of all specialists: director, artificial insemination specialist, veterinarian and nursing personnel stuff”, says Rifat Karimullin. They should stick to the standard series of actions: balanced feeding, timely vaccination, artificial insemination. All these measures help to preserve cattle population.
Beside this, in all farm households of the district there is a rule called “free-occupied”. It means that a venue is set free, cleaned and disinfection is performed there. It is empty and free for about a month. All the venues for cold type of calf housing were turned into changeable “rest houses”. Having got 55-60 calves, farmers keep them in the venue where they were born. They are kept there for 4 months. As a result, the calves are less affected by infections and stress. By the present data there are 9 such “rest houses”.
Such working process and timely vaccination leads to great results. Nowadays cattle preservation in Kukmor municipal district is 97%.
