None. Calving is too stressful an event to let a cow give milk during such an event. Afterwards, and only afterwards, will she be able to relax enough to allow milk-let-down to commence.
if you wait for over 24hours then the alchol won't pass through to the baby but it mattters on how much you drunk
It better--it HAS to!! A calf needs to be up and suckling from its mother within one to three hours after birth to get the best-quality colostrum as possible. Anything after and the calf won't be getting adequate colostrum to make it that much more healthier than what's possible for it to get. And yes, when I mean a calf is up, I mean it's up and walking around, not sitting down.
No, they give birth through the birth canal, like all animals do.
my dog is acting weird sense this morning she is pregnat i dont know if she is giong to give birth today is there any body to answer this question ? i worry about her she in too much pian i dont know what to do...
The udder starts to fill noticeably about a month before the horse foals. When a waxy coating appears on the teats, that means there's about three days to go, and dripping or running milk usually means that the mare will drop within a day. Another reliable indicator is when the muscles of the horse's buttocks drop. This provides added flexibility to the pelvis to assist the foal through and occurs less than a day before foaling.
There is no magic time. Some mares may start to drip in the last month or so. But usually once the mare starts to drip or 'wax up' birth will follow with in 24 to 48 hours. If you notice that she is losing too much milk you should contact your vet. She may run out of colostrum before the birth and it is vital that the foal gets colotrum.* *Interesting fact:There is a window of oppotunity for the foal to get the colostrum. If he does not get the colostrum within 18 hours or so his GI tract will not absorb it which will greatly diminish his chance of survival.
Yes. Colostrum is typically a range of colors from clear to yellow to white. The golden spots you are seeing just meant the "ingredients" are different and your colostrum is likely maturing. If you are 4-6 weeks from birth, you're getting the mature colostrum that will provide your baby much needed antibodies, vitamins and nourishment.
Could be. This is a sign that birth is near. But sometimes a mare will 'wax up' and the milk will start to leak out. A little is fine but if too much leaks out the mare could be loosing the "colostrum". Colostrum is the first milk that the mare produces and it contains all the immunities for the new baby to keep him healthy. If it leaks out before the foal can drink it, he won't live long. They have to have the colostrum. If you think your mare is leaking too much colostrum call your vet.
Ideally, a foal should get colostrum as soon as possible post foaling. The current school of thought is that the gut closes much more rapidly than originally thought and that 6-8 hours for adequate passive transfer is the limit.

If they won't accept the bottle, tube them with an esophageal feeder. Colostrum comes in packets of dried powder, so read the instructions on the packet to determine how much water is needed for one packet of dried colostrum.
not as much.
Yes, my son is five years old and stoped breast feeding when he was 2 almost three. I recent noticed i had colostrum in my breast. not much but a little. My doctor told me it was normal. Also if you are taking birth control it can also cause your body to produce milk. like the patch.
Horses are mammals and give birth very much like cats and dogs and humans.
