Dialogue of veterinarian with a beginning breeder.
Doctor: Good that you’ve called me. I will tell you everything in a moment. How much time is left to the deliverydelivery?
B: Around 2‑3 weeks.
D: I see. Some 10‑14 days before due time the cows should be taken to the calving pencalving pen which should be carefully cleaned, littered with dry and clean straw. The cow will get used to the new place and will produce a protective barrierproduce a protective barrier against pathogenspathogens.
B: Good, I will prepare such pens. And what are the signs of deliverysigns of delivery?
D: Each cow may show different signs. Some cows grow a large udder, other cows have it after calving. Some are calm, while others are restless and kickingkicking.
B: How will I recognise that the delivery is near?
D: There are several signs common for all cows. First, the “empty” and flabby udder grows bigger several days before parturition and becomes pink. Also, the mucus glands in the vaginamucus glands in the vagina become more active – a thick and transparent mucus comes out from the vulva. The vulvavulva becomes swollen and reddened.
B: And can the cows’ behaviour show something?
D: Yes. The cows are more active, they stand up and lie down and walk again, they bellowbellow and urinateurinate and defecatedefecate frequently in small amounts. Have you noticed such behaviour?
B: Not yet, but as you instructed me, I have still one week until something begins to happen.
D: Please watch your herd carefully and let me know when you notice these signs.
B: Thank you very much and let’s stay in touch. Good bye.

Principles of tagging the livestock
Breeder: Good morning, doctor.
D: Hello, what can I do for you?
B: I took over a big agricultural farm with livestocklivestock. I want to know all about registration of animalsregistration of animals. I heard that each animal should be taggedtagged.
D: That’s true. Do your animals have tagstags?
B: I think not all of them. I saw several cows have the tags but goatsgoats – I don’t think so.
D: According to legal provisions, cattle should have tags in both auriclesauricles, which makes it possible to identifyidentify each cow individuallyindividually. As for the goats, it depends on when they were born and what is their intended purpose.
B: I have a young, one‑year old herd.
D: In this case the tags should be fitted in both auricles. If you want to sell them, then you will also have to put a tag in the right ear which has the electronic IDelectronic ID with identification number.
B: I understand. And what about pigs? I have about 30 pigs.
D: In pigs the tag is required in the left auricle. The identification number of the pig is the number of the herd’s seat, where the animal was born. If a pig stays outside the place of birth for a period longer than 30 days, then you should make a tattootattoo on the animal with a new number indicating the present seat.
B: This means that cattle and goats are tagged individually but pigs have the same number as the herd they came from?
D: Exactly. When are you going to tag your animals?
B: As soon as possible. When you come to my holding for inspectioninspection, everything will be done.
D: Great! So see you soon!
