Disease Description It is not a communicable disease. It is not a fatal disease. But it affects there production hence it affects the economy of a farmer. Reproductive failure is the most common reason associated with culling cows from the breeding herd. In addition to cows failing to become pregnant or aborting, other cows may take longer to become pregnant and calve late. Calves from these cows will have significantly lower weight gain on pasture. There is also greater chance a late calving cow won’t become pregnant the next year. The expense of an open cow to a producer is not only the lost value of a calf, but also the cost of maintaining the cow for a year without a calf being produced. A cow that calves in the third cycle rather than the first cycle can produce a calf that is 50 lbs or lighter at weaning.
Disease Control Evaluate and manage body condition scores (BCS) ... Respond to calving problems early. ... Don't forget breeding soundness exams for the herd bulls. ... Vaccinate against reproductive diseases. ... Offer extra care to first-calf heifers and late-calving cows.
Disease Prevention
Precautions Provide proper food to cattle, Use good quality bull as well as good semen

If the cattle is not ready for reproduction, he gives it one kilo gram mat (kind of pulse). Keep one-kilo gram mat in water for a day and then give it to cattle for eating. After that the cattle will be ready for reproduction. If the cattle is young, give it two kilogram mat. At least give it for two days. For day one it will start showing the result.
