Colostrum management in calves: effects of drenching vs. bottle feeding

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 2005
SummaryThe objective was to examine whether the administration of colostrum by a drencher is a safe method to achieve satisfying immunoglobulin concentrations in newborn Holstein Friesian (HF)‐calves. Twenty‐one calves were fed 1 h postnatum with 2 l colostrum from their dam using a nipple bottle (group I); 15 calves were drenched with 4 l colostrum ...

Role of Colostrum in Managing Calf Health

American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 1983
Passive immunity acquired by the newborn calf following ingestion of colostrum is a major determinant, but not the sole determinant, of health during the neonatal period. Colostral immunoglobulins provide both circulating antibody and antibody active at local surfaces such as the gut.

Colostrum Management in Calves’ Welfare Risk Assessment

2023
Successful milk production is based on proper calf rearing, especially the youngest categories. However, the intensive production can result in oversights that can have very negative effects on the survival of calves and their further growth. In order to reduce mortality and to improve rearing conditions for calves, different welfare assessment systems

Case Study: Improving colostrum management in a dairy herd

Livestock, 2012
Dairy calf mortality rates in the UK are too high and colostrum management is important to maximise calf health. This article describes the investigation of a calf mortality problem in a dairy herd and the practical steps taken to improve colostrum management. The key changes made were to snatch calves as soon as possible after birth, harvest colostrum

CLINICO-THERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT OF COLOSTRUM INDIGESTION IN MURRAH BUFFALO

Indian Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences Research
A six year old female buffalo was presented with history ofparturition before 4 days and accidental feeding of about 4 litres own colostrum by the owner. Clinical examination revealed anorexia, circling, excitation and wandering behavior, mucoid hard sticky feces, absence of water intake and ruminal atony. pH of ruminal fluid was 8.5.

Colostrum Management on German Dairy Farms

Calf rearing is the fundament of any dairy farm. In consequence, colostrum management is an important part of calf rearing because calves are passively immunized through colostrum uptake. Therefore, colostrum management is of particular importance for healthy calves and long lasting performances of cows and should be optimized.

Bovine Colostrum and Its Management in UK Dairy Herds

Animal Science Cases
Abstract At birth, the calf has a naïve immune system and is reliant upon maternal antibodies until it begins to produce its own. Gut absorption of these antibodies may be facilitated by the consumption of colostrum soon after birth, a process described as the “transfer of passive immunity”.

The Importance of Colostrum Management in Newborn Calves

2019
Colostrum is a special and important type of milk that should be ingested by newborn calves in order to produce immunity against diseases in the first 28 days of life. Giving colostrum to calves is the most important factor for calf survival and maintaining health. In many countries, one of the most important reason for calf deaths is inadequate intake
