Effective Preventive For Calf Scours
A new method to prevent calf scours uses the dam's colostrum milk fed within hours of birth. Ibador Little of the Rockefeller Institute is cited by Carl B. Lender as more effective than isolation. Feed one to two eight ounce bottles of the dam's milk via enlarged nipple bottles to each newborn calf. Ensure bottles and nipples are cleaned and disinfected before use.
