In reply to I am bottle feeding a Braham… by Frances. My vet told me they only have a 24 hour window of getting colostrum after birth, I had one that did not get colostrum it got all kinds of infection thru the umbilical cord, went blind and got bloat and eventually had to be put down.
Just got a calf from the auction that needs to be bottle feed. He has been doing fine but I am curious about the bottle preparation.
Is it safe for people that I mix the milk replacer in my kitchen? Might be an odd question but I would like to know if that would be an issue. It doesnt seem to bother the older calf but the younger calf doesnt seem to eat a full bottle for the first few bottles of every bag.
Has anyone had any experiance with this? In reply to i bought a couple bottle… by matt. I have a 4 day old heifer calf that has been bottle fed from the start. She got a whole bottle of colostrum within 4 hours of being born.
She was breach and we had to pull her out. Mama died. I started her on 2 bottles a day Day 2, she was very constipated So, I went to 3 bottles a day with oz of milk replacer in each one Now, day What should I do?
Any sugggestion? I really could use a lot! Have a 7 week old yak calf. Been bottle feeding. Now she is lethargic and dropped from mls 3 feedings a day to less than mls. No diarrhea. Not sucking normally but seems to want food. I added electrolytes to last bottle but she only took few swallows. She is not meaty on her body but was active till yesterday afternoon. Now it seems I am losing her. Hello, I recently got a Holstein heifer she is maybe 5 weeks old.
I am doing milk replacer medicated. Twice a day and a little in the middle of the day. Is there anything I can do extra to put weight on quick? I was wondering if calf manna feed would be good for her?
NEVER dilute milk replacer! NEVER withhold milk or milk replacer from a scouring calf! Diluting milk replacer disrupts the osmolarity of the blood and can cause acidosis and be fatal. Space out electrolytes about 4 hours after each bottle feeding. NEVER mix electrolytes with milk or milk replacer.
The biggest mistake people make when a calf is scouring is to withhold milk or milk replacer. This only makes things worse, and the little calf has no food energy or calories.
Sav A Calf electrolytes are the only brand my littles guys would take, and it is safe to continue feeding milk with this brand. Some brands, you cannot use in conjunction with milk, which is BAD!

Even if you are just visiting a farm, wash your hands after being around animals and help young children wash their hands. Antibiotic-resistant infections can be more severe, and antibiotics normally used to treat infections may not work.
Sick people may need to go to the hospital or to spend more time there. Antibiotic resistance affects the health of humans, animals, and the environment, which makes it a One Health issue. Everyone has a role to play in preventing disease and preserving the power of antibiotics to treat infections in people and animals.

Food Safety. Section Navigation. Select a feed that addresses stressors and respiratory challenges head-on. Find the Right Feed Form. The physical feed form can influence consumption. Bigger pellets tend to work best for calf starter feeds because they are softer. Bigger pellets also allow calves to get more with every mouthful, which is essential for less aggressive calves standing at the bunk. Avoid mealy feeds, which often separate and become less appealing to weaning calves.
Prioritize Starter Feed Quality. A quality, palatable starter feed will get calves eating quickly during the first 10 to 14 days post-weaning and help them stay healthy.
