Parameters affecting calving dificulty of Charolais and Limousin breed at the Educational and Research Centre Logatec

Kotnik, Barbara (author), Petrič, Nežika (author), Žgur, Silvester (author)

The aim of our study was to analyse parameters effecting calving difficulty of Charolais and Limousin cows at the Educational and Research Centre Logatec. Data from 492 calves, born between 1995 and 2006 were included in the analysis. We estimated calving difficulty with values from 1 to 3, where 1 meant easy calving (without or with minor help), 2-difficult calving (at least 2 persons ov veterinarian help), 3-caesarean. Breed, sex of calves, parity, single or twin births, year of calving and birth weight had statistically significant effect on calving difficulty. In Charolais breed difficult calving occured in 18.7% and Limousin breed in 7.8%. Twins were associated with 4 times more frequent difficult calving than sinles. First parity cows exhibited more frequent calving difficulty, whereas among other parities there were no statiostically significant differences. The increased birth weight increased the possibility of difficult calving.

Abstract

V nalogi smo analizirali vplive na potek telitve pri pasmi šarole in limuzin na Pedagoško raziskovalnem centru Logatec. Analizirali smo 492 teletih šarole in limuzin pasme, rojenih med leti 1995 in 2006. Potek telitev smo ocenili z ocenami od 1 do 3, kjer 1 pomeni lahko telitev (krava teli sama oziroma z manjšo pomočjo), 2 težko telitev (večja pomoč najmanj 2 oskrbnikov ali veterinarja) in 3 carski rez. Tako smo ugotovili, da na potek telitve vplivajo: pasma, zaporedna telitev, rojstvo dvojčkov, leto telitve in rojstna masa. Pogostnost težkih telitev je pri šarole pasmi znašala 18,7%, pri limuzinpasmi pa 7,8. Pri dvojčkih je bila težka telitev kar 4 krat pogostejša kot pri enojčkih. Pri analizi vpliva zaporedne telitve se je izkazalo, da izstopajo predvsem preve telitve telic, medtem komed ostalimi zaporednimi telitvami ni bilo razlik. S povečevanjem rojstne mase telet se je povečala verjetnost za težke telitve.
