‘Catch cows cues’ launched

In the ever-evolving world of dairy farming and credible bovine health, a programme of ‘Catch Cow Cues’ (Decode Cow) was launched on Saturday at Khalsa College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences. HK Verma, principal, who is the architect of the project said there was dire need of large animals in Punjab to grow economically. He said there were concerns about the future challenges to be faced by budding veterinarians and thus an innovative approach was required to integrate contemporary skills and technologies to enhance understanding and efficiency. SK Nagpal, MD, said by incorporating all senses and modern tools, veterinarians could more effectively monitor and interpret how hormones, chemicals and biological fluids impact animal behaviour, posture, activity and appetite, leading to improved diagnostic and treatment capabilities. They said the programme would mark the beginning of an ongoing series of lectures that would be conducted weekly, aiming to lay the groundwork for a deeper understanding on how various body systems impact cow health and productivity through comprehensive discussions and expert presentations.
