Abstract
Making use of the established APGAR-score and taking into consideration the method and duration of parturition, the aim of this work is to provide a clinically detailed description of the vital signs of newborn calves. Altogether, 98 mature calves were provided by the clinic for this study, 50 of which could be developed per vias naturales, the remaining 48 were born per sectio caesarea. Apart from clinically interpreting the vital signs of the neonates, the pH value, current base excess and the CO2 pressure in the venous blood were monitored. Due to the results obtained from the initial observations, the newborn calves could be clearly divided into distinct classes of vitality. Summarized, the results can be given as follows:The length and the method of parturition both significantly influence the degree of the vitality of the mature neonate. In the event of a protracted delivery, sectio caesarea influences the vitality much more positively thana difficult birth per vias naturales. The clinical examination involving the APGAR scheme and the results of blood-gas-analysis of the neonates correlate to some extent. The newborn carves appear to be less active after a prolonged delivery or after parturition per sectio caesarea than can be clinically confirmed by blood-gas-analysis.
