Abstract
- Provision of high quality colostrum is an essential feature of a successful calf rearing program, providing immunoglobulins, non-antibody immune factors, protein, energy, fat, vitamins and minerals. A successful colostrum feeding program reduces calf mortality to less than 5%, improves resistance to enteric disease and promotes weight gain the first four days of life. Careful evaluation of several important aspects of a colostrum feeding program is essential when these goals are to be achieved.<br />American Association of Bovine Practitioners Proceedings of the Annual Conference, 1988
