Abstract

Among all animals present on a dairy farm, the highest mortality rates generally occur in baby calves prior to weaning. This is a statistic worth paying attention to when thinking in terms of total herd profitability. Chances are high mortality of replacement animals, impaired growth of calves, decreased milk production of chronically afflicted calves, increased risks of infectious disease transmission throughout the herd, and increased veterinary costs will not add up to generating profits.
Three important disease problems for young calves are septicemia, diarrhea, and pneumonia.
This edition of Mastitis Minute will discuss factors and potential sources of infection on the farm that put young dairy calves at risk of developing these diseases. By designing health management programs that include care and housing of calves, standard operating procedures for the calving process, proper nutrition and other preventive health measures for newborn calves, these diseases can be controlled.
