Proper care involves providing the cow with balanced nutrition before and after calving, maintaining a good body condition, reducing stress, and ensuring frequent health check-ups. It is also essential to provide a clean calving environment and promptly address any postpartum disorders to support recovery and ensure the cow returns to estrus on time, thereby maintaining an ideal interval of around 12 months between calvings.
