Perinatal Calf Management - Colostrum & Calf Care - Feb 22, 2009 - 3:23:50 PM
Calves are born with the proverbial “2 strikes against them.” Strike 1: It is common knowledge that cows pass no disease resistance to the calf in utero prior to birth. Strike 2: This means calves are born without resistance to antigens in their environment and in turn, all antigens have the potential to cause disease and even death in the newborn calf. Even those antigens not usually considered to be pathogens.

No one wants to lose newborn calves, but a reasonable goal is to maintain this loss at less than 3 to 5% in the first month of their lives.
