Background technique [0002] Postpartum diseases of dairy cows directly affect the production level of dairy cows and the economic benefits of dairy farms. Due to many reasons, the elimination rate of dairy cows per calving is as high as 10-20%. Therefore, creating a comfortable environment for dairy cows to give birth and strengthening postpartum health care are important measures to maximize the potential milk production of dairy cows during lactation, restore normal reproductive function and timely conception, and reduce postpartum culling rates.
