Reproducción y neonatología bovina en la hacienda La Vittoriana, Córdoba- Colombia

Abstract

The Victoriana estate is a livestock company, located in the department of Cordoba, with productive approaches such as: breeding pure white Brahman cattle, breeding and commercial production of white Brahman and F1 and a specialized dairy. The Brahman is ideal for meat and milk production in countries with tropical conditions. The effects of the warm tropical environment on the reproductive behavior and productivity of the cattle are recognized. As in gestation, there are certain risks that may occur during the delivery and lactation phase of the newborn. There were 4000 wombs and reported between 15-20% of abortions and 3% of neonatal mortality. In the reproductive part, although the rates of repetition of estrus and abortion are more associated with environmental problems, problems in the area of neonatology were associated with the human factor.
