Dr. Rlegel replies: For the purpose of this article, I am defining treated milk as mUk taken from cows treated orally, intramuscularly, intravenously, or directly into the mammary gland with antibiotics, steroids, or any other foreign material that may be subsequently secreted in the mUk. I answer this question by saying that, in general, calves suffer no ill effects from drinking treated milk, however there are a few guidelines one should follow when pursuing this practice. Don’t use milk; 1. When feeding FISHER ENGINE SERVICE 3141 Old Philadelphia Pike Birdin-Hand, PA 1 7505 71 7-768-3729 Ask the A VMD Si milk from a cow with mastitis, don’t feed milk from quarters which still show clinical signs of the diseases (pus, clots, or watery milk). 2. From cows that are being treated for diseases in which the causative agent is one which can be excreted in the milk, while the cow is still showing active signs of the disease. (Such as leptospirosis and brucellosis) 3. From cows which when treated may produce any abnormally appearing milk. When feeding treated milk, another thing one must consider is that what one is doing is giving low level antibiotics to the calf which, in theory, can produce resistant strains of bacteria. Another thing Tim Trayer Edgar Sheaffer one may be doing is killing off normal bacterial flora in the animal’s gut which may hinder normal digestion. There has been much discussion over the years about the possible hazard of low level antibiotic feeding, and as of this time no definite proof has been produced to sustain these theories.
