Barren Heifers

Categories: Diseases of Animals

I have three heifers, 3 years old, which have run with the bull right

along and have failed with calf; have had three different bulls to them;

what can be done?



There is a possibility of contagious abortion causing these heifers to

fail to breed. If this has occurred in the herd, the heifers are very

apt to be affected. If apparently healthy, reduce me feed and make the

heifers take considerable exercise to reduce flesh. Give each a dram of

powdered nux vomIca and one-half dram of dried sulphate of iron once

daily in a little feed. Breed to a healthy bull when the heifers come in

heat.
