Is the cow sick? Learn to tell by listening to its sounds

Many farmers do not know whether their cows are sick. Just looking at them, you cannot see anything unusual, and sometimes they appear perfectly normal when they are already ill. In fact, there are certain tricks to this, so how do we judge? Below, Shuaishuai will teach everyone how to tell whether a cow is sick by listening to its sounds. Let's learn together!

1. Listen to the cow's calls

Many cows can be judged to be sick or not by their calls. Why is that? Because once many cows fall ill, their calls all become different and show some very obvious changes. For example, when vocalizing, the voice becomes very hoarse, becomes very thin, or when making a level sound, the ending note is drawn out, and they may suddenly make some strange sounds, suddenly call very violently, and so on. If the illness is very serious, they will make low, painful moaning sounds, and this kind of moaning often occurs together with the sound of grinding teeth.

2. Listen to the cow's breathing

This one is more difficult, so farmers must listen very carefully. If the cow's breathing becomes rough or weak, it means it is sick. Sometimes the breathing is accompanied by some phlegm sounds, and if breathing is not smooth, there will be blocked sounds. In addition, when breathing, the nose gives off a choked sound, and this sound is very much like the sound of a saw being used. Hearing any of these means the cow is sick.

3. Listen to the cow's coughing

Coughing is divided into two types. If there is phlegm in the mouth, it indicates a wet cough; if there is no phlegm, it indicates a dry cough. If the cow stretches its head and straightens its neck and lifts its hind limbs, it means the cow is in great pain and is in a state of suffering while coughing.

4. Listen to the chewing sounds

When the cow is eating, observe its chewing sounds. If it sounds very careful and chews at a relatively low volume, it means there is a problem with its teeth, possibly pain. If there is nothing in its mouth but you can still hear teeth grinding, it is generally due to intestinal obstruction, traumatic reticuloperitonitis, and omasal blockage.

The above are the methods for judging whether a cow is sick based on sounds. Have you all learned them? Isn't it very simple? Friends who are interested can give it a try. It is very effective, and I hope it helps everyone.
