Abstract

Because of growing concern over antimicrobial resistance, alternatives to antimicrobial use in animal production are needed. One potential way to reduce treatment is to provide improved caloric and IgG supplementation in the neonatal period. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of 14 days of an oral dehydrated colostrum supplement added to milk-replacer for pre-weaned calves on calf morbidity and treatments, mortality, feed intake and weight gain.
