Start with four quarts daily in two or three feedings, then gradually increase skim milk while limiting total intake. A teaspoon of dried blood is suggested for diarrhea.
Heavy milking cows and those with rich milk are prone to milk fever. It is advised to refrain from milking for forty eight hours after freshening. the calf may nurse during this period. In rare cases, small amounts may be taken from each quarter to relieve pressure. This practice is considered an excellent preventive, as supported by Kimball's Dairy Farmer.
