Chief causes of extended recumbency in bovines

Under normal circumstances, a bovine spends about 9-10 hours in standing position and 14-15 hours while resting on a comfortable floor. A completely healthy milking cow or buffalo can continuously remain in a decumbent position for 30 minutes to four hours. If she remains accumbent for longer periods or she doesn’t even make an attempt to rise, then, a serious problem could be guessed.      >>>
