Enriched  with diverse learning opportunities, it conveys the  fundamentals of reproductive anatomy and physiology,  parturition, birth complications and various obstetrical  manoeuvres, as well as dam and calf care. In order to  promote best practices in this specialized subject, the  book covers all significant points from conception to  calving and the perinatal period. Clear chapter structures,  a wealth of illustrations and videos, obstetrical case  studies, and question-and-answer lists round out the  reading experience, making the book a unique source of  information on how to support mother cows and obtain viable  offspring. Readers can additionally download the free  Springer Nature Flashcards App and benefit from 77 digital  study questions to test their knowledge. The reproductive  health status in cattle farms is crucial to immediately  initiate lactation and new conception. Assistance by  technical personnel, dystocia and stillbirth occurrences  can reach ca. 50%, 14% and 6% of parturitions,  respectively. Hence, zootechnical and veterinary management  of calving is of great importance for animal welfare. This  work makes a valuable contribution to teaching and everyday  practice in cattle medicine and obstetrics. Veterinary  students, residents, practitioners and technical personnel  will discover it to be a rich learning and reference  resource.},
