- This will provide protection against future infections, particularly if the colostrum is fed before 12 hours.
- If the mother’s colostrum is not available, use cow colostrum.
- If also not available, use a commercial colostrum replacer product.
- Provide injectable Vitamin E to the calf according to veterinary prescription.
General recommendations
