Before using a mechanical aid, check that the calf is correctly presented and that natural delivery is possible. If presentation, progress or calf size gives cause for concern, veterinary advice should be sought rather than applying increasing traction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHygiene is equally important. Calving ropes and equipment come into close contact with the cow and should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each use. Allow equipment to dry before storage and keep it in a clean, dry area away from corrosive chemicals and contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePro tip: inspect your calving aid before the first expected calving rather than when assistance is already needed. Check ropes for fraying, ratchets for smooth operation, quick-release mechanisms for correct function and heads, yokes and fittings for damage or excessive wear. Keeping commonly required replacement parts in your calving kit can save valuable time during the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is a calving aid used for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA calving aid, or calving jack, provides controlled mechanical traction when appropriate assistance is required during delivery.
