Description
The webinar is going to deal with the prevalence of stillbirth, the physiological changes of foetal acid-base balance during calving, classification of obstetrical assistances, prediction of the onset of calving in the farm, the effect of eutocia and dystocia on the dam and foetus being born and finally how to prevent or decrease the obstetrical assistances and their consequences in the farm. It has been recently confirmed by our research group that inappropriately timed obstetrical assistance can significantly increase the prevalence of stillbirth, the injuries of the soft birth canal, retained foetal membranes and clinical metritis.
