COW LIFECYCLE
The cow goes through various stages throughout its life, including the calf stage where it depends on its mother's milk, the weaning stage where it becomes independent, the first breeding where it reproduces, and the first calving where it gives birth and begins milk production. The cow's life cycle includes these key stages of birth, growth, reproduction, and milk production.
01
BIRTH
It begins with the birth of the calf, which can occur after a gestation period of around 9 months.
02
CHILDHOOD
During this stage, the calf is primarily fed on mother's milk and gradually starts consuming grass and other solid foods.
03
YOUTH
As the calf grows, it enters the juvenile stage, where it continues to feed and grow. This stage can last several months until the cow reaches sexual maturity.
04
SEXUAL MATURITY
Once the cow reaches sexual maturity at around 15-18 months of age, it can begin to reproduce and give birth to its own calves.
05
ADULTHOOD AND REPRODUCTION
During this stage, the cow is capable of reproducing and giving birth regularly, contributing to the livestock's reproductive cycle. A cow can continue reproducing for several years.
06
MILK PRODUCTION
During this stage, the calf primarily feeds on mother's milk and gradually starts consuming grass and other solid foods.
07
OLD AGE
Like other animals, cows eventually age. During this stage, they may experience a decline in milk production and may be retired from dairy or breeding purposes.
