Abstract

The article offers suggestions for preventing scours in dairy calves. It mentions that early detection is key in preventing death caused by scours as rectal temperature can help determine the presence of scour-causing bacteria. It states that immunoglobulins present in the colostrum, are used to light the diarrhea-inducing bacteria that the calf may encounter and antibodies within colostrum will not be absorbed if not ingested soon after birth.
