In many cases nowadays problems arise during calving, especially when cows have their first calving,<br />

it could become necessary to give mechanical help. The calving aid can be used on laying cows as well<br />

as on standing cows. Usually the natural calving process should be preferred. Only in case of problems<br />

should the mechanical help be used.<br />

At the end of the 180 cm long threaded bar is a rubber support part which is placed beneath the uterus<br />

of the cow. The two calving ropes which are included are for looping the rope around each leg, the front<br />

leg of the calf (if the calve is laying in opposite direction the rear legs). After this step the calving ropes<br />

have to be hooked into the ratchet and the ratchet is moved by pulling the handle back and forward till<br />

the ropes are tight. When the contractions have started, please assist during the contractions with careful<br />

pulls of the ratchet, until the contraction is finished. Now wait for the next contraction. Because the legs<br />

are looped in, the calf can not slip back into the uterus. It remains fixed in the pelvis due to the achieved<br />

tension. At the next following contraction continue in the same way, until the calf is fully pulled out.<br />

After the calving process is finished it is important to clean the calving aid carefully and thoroughly.<br />

Please dry it afterwards and store it in dry condition.<br />
