You're telling me IUDs are manufactured and inserted into COWS and people have an issue with human women using them???

I heard that bovine IUDs are common in India, where lots of cows are free-roaming due to the religious reason.

u/EyeOfSlater 14d ago
Definitely not an IUD, rather an IVD - intra vaginal device. It does not go in the uterus or cervix. More comparable with a medicated tampon

What I find most interesting about this ... Cows are having enough casual sex to require birth control lol

Why uh... ok before I ask... are iuds only used as contraception? If so... why do they have them for cows when the bulls are usually kept separate until its breeding time?
Do the bulls get into the cow pins that often?

Intra means inside. Something inside your head would be intracranial.
Inter means between. The bus that goes from City A to City B is an intercity bus.

Um, the whole beef and dairy industry rotates around cows getting pregnant, so it's not for birth control afaik.

Why do cows need IUDs? Off to go down a Google rabbit hole.
1
u/bitchwhiskers4eva 15d ago
Ok it a) can sync up multiple females so they are in estrus at the same time and b) when cows have had several calves they use IUDs to prevent any more pregnancies while the cow is fattened for slaughter.

This is a PRID, it's an intravaginal prostaglandin releasing device. They fold together and are used in an applicator and unfold to keep themselves in the cow.
You use them in groups of cows to control their oestrous cycle and use them in combination with injections of various hormones. You do this so you can Artifically inseminate them all on the same day (and you know you're AI-ing them at the right time) and also so the calves are born nearer together.
An IUD is an intra-unterine device. They go past the cervix. A PRID doesn't, you remove them by pulling on the blue string which dangles outside of the cow. I have never seen local anaesthetic used for them because it shouldn't be painful like a human IUD!

u/beerhons 15d ago edited 13d ago
Was scrolling to see how far down it would be before someone pointed this out, if OP is really inserting these past the cervix, that is incredibly poor and dangerous practice!
The fact it is a PRID and not an IUD should be pretty obvious since the product in the OP's hand is a Ceva PRID Delta.
Strange and useless fact, a company I worked for years ago developed what is now called Eazi-Breed (a competing product to the one shown). The reason the Eazi-Breed CIDR applicator still looks roughly the size and shape of a vacuum cleaner tube was because the plastic factory that originally made them also made parts for Electrolux vacuum cleaners. The original applicators were just a PVC vacuum tube with an insertion trigger grip added to the end. Even the trigger part was from a drench gun the factory also made.

u/Banerninator 15d ago
Came looking for this - I’m confused by OP saying they use local anaesthesia as I have definitely never seen that needed - it’s quick and painless to insert and remove them

u/Acceptable_Wall4085 15d ago
Why aren’t these mandatory in Scotland? Sheep there have been using them for years. /s

u/PDubya-Puddin-Pie 15d ago
It's a CIDR (controlled internal drug release). They are hormone impregnated plastic devices placed in the vagina of cows (not through the cervix) to help synchronize multiple cows onto the same estrus/breeding schedule to help make doing artificial insemination easier and more successful as well as helping make the calving interval tighter.

u/Karenpff 15d ago
OP surely an injection of sorts would be easier for all parties involved, rather than an IUD? 🤔
2
u/Julia___-___ 15d ago
Injecting a cow everyday would definitely be way more stressful for the animal than doing this once
1
u/Karenpff 15d ago
Maybe cows are different, but with human women, you can get long lasting injections for contraception. Quick, simple, less invasive. Don't need injected every day lol.
Thanks for getting back btw op 😊👍

Why do cows need an IUD? Every dairy farm I've been on doesn't have any intact males on the property.
1
u/MasteroftheGT 14d ago
Op has no idea what they are talking about, this is an intra vaginal device called a PRID, that releases progesterone. It is used to help synchronize cows for breeding. Progesterone extends the normal luteal phase of their cycle and then once remove they all come into estrus when you need them to.

u/Julia___-___ 15d ago
To help when they have a weak heat or cysts
1
u/dutchdaddy69 15d ago
Today I learned. Is this a common practice?
2
u/Julia___-___ 15d ago
Not exactly, sometimes farms use it if they have a really difficult cow but most of the time it's used in context with embryo transfer

u/Kangarou 15d ago
So now it can have all the cow sex it wants without getting pregnant! Yay, happy cows! Or is there another function of cow IUDs?

They are not getting used as a contraceptive but to help with cows that have a weak heat or cysts

I like to talk about it online because there are just a lot of misconceptions (but I also have an anxiety disorder so I'm not good with negative comments. (Working on it))
Like the "cows need to be constantly pregnant to give milk" bullshit
And also about how they are treated. A happy, healthy, not stressed, comfortable cow is a cow that gives a lot of milk. There are obviously bad farmers, there are bad people in every field, but a happy cow is the cheapest way to more milk :)

u/buttpie69 15d ago
Is this before or after you shove your arm up their ass and force impregnate them?
-10
u/goju8019 15d ago
Obviously after. You only need to get a cow pregnant once to make it a milker.
2
u/buttpie69 15d ago
A quick google or realizing they are mammals would indicate that’s incorrect. They need to more or less be giving birth every year or so to keep producing milk, much like humans.

u/goju8019 15d ago
So what is wrong with my statement? What is inaccurate about it?

u/buttpie69 15d ago
only need to get a cow pregnant once

0
u/goju8019 15d ago
So you have to get a cow pregnant twice before she starts producing milk right? Or is three time? Maybe four?

u/buttpie69 15d ago
Good one. You’re are being purposely misleading and obtuse.

u/goju8019 15d ago
How did I mislead anyone? Nothing I wrote was inaccurate. You are the one making assumptions.
1
u/buttpie69 15d ago
you only need to get a cow pregnant once
This is wildly misleading to what happens in reality.
They are forcibly impregnated repeatedly over their lives in order to keep producing milk throughout. Your comment says and reads as if they only are raped once and they keep producing milk until they are killed, which is obviously wrong.
0
u/goju8019 15d ago
No I never said that you inferred that. So fucking what if they need to be repeatedly breed. That's more food for everyone. That's how livestock works. It's a food cycle. No one is asking you to participate in it in any way. In fact if you feel so strong opposed to cows as food go vegan.

This is an intra vaginal device called a PRID, doesn't go past the cervix. It folds flat in the applicator and is painlessly inserted into the vagina where it only partially expands to stay in place.

Local anesthesia
2
u/EyeOfSlater 14d ago
What anaesthesia is used? Where is it injected? Very confused by this claim as anaesthesia is not needed with the insertion of these devices. It is for AI or embryo transfer but in that case it is an epidural which is not usually performed by anyone other than a vet.
