Limited Colostrum Helps Older Calves
Extra colostrum milk can be used profitably by Michigan dairy men by feeding it to older calves. Extension Dairyman J G Hays of Michigan State College says there is little danger from scours in older calves if the colostrum is limited to about one third of the milk per feeding. Colostrum, the milk a cow gives the first three or four days after freshening, is rich in vitamin A and antibodies that protects calves from infection.
