Practical Field Applications for Reducing Infectious Diseases of 0-6 Months Calves and Their Results
Abstract
Neonatal calf
diseases are among the most common diseases in cattle breeding. In order to
prevent these diseases; it is important that the care and feeding of the calves
are carried out correctly. Furthermore, care and feeding of the mother in dry
period is also important as it affects the health of both mother and calf.
Moreover, maternal antibodies in colostrum are effective in prevention of many
diseases for the newborn calves. The incidence of deaths in cattle is generally
greater at 0-6 months of ages. In this study, diseases and mortalities of
calves between the age 0 and 6 months were evaluated in a farm of dairy cattle
Antalya, Turkey, between the years 2013 and 2014.
