Scours Cause Great
Loss Of Calves
Colostrum quality can be mea
sured with a hygrometer. Older
cows generally produce a higher
quality colostrum than first-calf
heifers. Extra colostrum from old
er cows can be frozen, allowing a
ready supply. For the first week,
calves should only receive a milk
based diet. After that, calves can
be offered a creep feed in increas
ing amounts as they grow. At four
weeks, calves can be weaned to a
grower ration.
Hygiene of feeding equipment
is as important as what calves are
fed. Microorganisms can be
spread among calves when the
same feeding equipment is used to
feed more than one calf. Each calf
should be fed with a clean, sani
tized nipple and bucket.
Calves that are allowed contact
with other calves are more prone
to scouring problems. Hutches
should be placed to avoid nose-to
nose contact. When calves are
weaned, hutches should be
cleaned are allowed to sit empty
iveral weeks.
HUNTINGDON (Huntingdon
Co.) Diarrhea (scours) can be
caused by any number of microor
ganisms to which a calf is exposed
and becomes susceptible. Several
areas in calf care are important in
preventing scours, including hous
ing, a proper nutritional program,
and supportive therapy.
Feeding programs must be
monitored beginning at birth.
Calves that are allowed to suckle
on their own often don’t get
enough colostrum during the first
two hours. Calves should receive
about one gallon of colostrum (10
to 15 percent of their body weight)
during the first 12 hours of life.
Fresh, high quality colostrum
should be fed to calves.
