Abstract

When farms experience high levels of disease in their calves (e.g. scours, joint or navel ill and pneumonia), there are frequently problems with their colostrum feeding practices. It has been suggested that up to 50% of calves born in the UK do not receive a sufficient quantity of good-quality colostrum. Achieving early and adequate intake of high-quality colostrum is widely recognized as the single most important management factor in determining health and survival of the neonatal calf, as well as reducing the risk for pre-weaning morbidity and mortality.
