Check what you're feeding her. That could be the reason why she's declining in milk production. Poor feed equates to poorer milk production. At this stage you must be increasing the quality of the feed, not let it decrease. If you let it decrease then you will be having problems like this and a hungrier calf. Get your feed tested, and start supplementing with extra feed and add some mineral as well.
However, it's not always due to feed that a cow's milk production will be declining after one month. Illness, mastitis or other issues that must be addressed and talked to about with a large animal veterinarian should also be considered. Your vet may also tell you that, if it's not illness or infection that's the problem, it could be due to what you're feeding her--or not.
What else can I help you with?
Can a cow give milk if it has not had a calf?
No.
Why wean a calf?
Because it's less work to have a calf-turned adult cow, bull, steer or heifer, forage on its own than to give it milk every day. Besides, the cow that is close to calving can't afford to have milk for both her older offspring and her new calf, so the older calf has to be weaned.
Can you give Purina calf milk re placer to cats?
Cats vary in their tolerance for dairy, and calf milk replacer (really? Why not just give them milk from the grocery store, which is after all from COWS and therefore more or less perfect for calves) is not optimal for them.If a mother cat refuses to nurse her kittens, you should get a milk replacer specifically designed for cats. Cat milk is rather different from cow milk.
Can you give a calf baby forumal?
No, absolutely not. A calf should be given milk formula designed for calves and calves ONLY, not for human babies. You could kill a calf if you give it baby formula because it lacks certain nutrients that calves need that human babies don't need or need less of than a calf does.
How long do you have to give a cow oxytocen to help produce milk after having a calf?
Only give Oxytocin when it's necessary, don't give it just because you can. You should really talk to your vet about this, and consider selling off the cow if she can't produce milk for her calf. You'll have to bottle-feed the calf yourself if Oxytocin won't be enough to help the cow give enough milk for her calf. So please, do your animals a favour and talk to your local large animal veterinarian.
Whole milk should give to calf after how many days?

Why doesn't a mother cow give milk when there is a calf in her stomach?
A calf doesn't grow in a mother cow's stomach. It grows in her womb or uterus. And cows are fully capable of being able to lactate (give milk) while a fetus is growing in her womb, and it's always to feed the last calf she gave birth to. A cow, however, will eventually stop milk production when her calf is weaned from her several months before she gives birth to her next calf.

What to do for a cow that's had a calf but has no milk?
Try to give her a kick-start by giving her a shot of Oxytocin (or an injectible hormone that is similar to encourage milk production) to help encourage her to start producing milk. If that isn't effective, cull her. I hope you are bottle-feeding the calf at this time, because the calf is more important now than the cow.
How do you get the milk from cow when calf dies?
You are the one who has to keep milking her if you want to keep getting milk from her after her calf dies. Otherwise, she will begin to dry up after a few days and be completely dry after a couple weeks.
