Death Of Dairy
Calves Can
Be Prevented
'Fifteen percent of all daay
calves born, die before they
reach two years of age.
You can prevent many of these
unnecessary losses, however,
says Dr. Robert C Hammond,
Extension veterinarian, Univer
sity of Maryland, by paying strict
attention to the following details
The first three or four days
are the most critical, he contin
ues. To be successful in raising
calves, make sure your calf is
born in a clean box-stall or lot;
■that he gets colostrum milk and
that he grows up in a place kept
clean and free from drafts.
