How To Improve Neonatal Beef Calf Health: A Hands-On Workshop Approach, Gabriele Maier, Essam Abdelfattah, Erik Fausak
How To Improve Neonatal Beef Calf Health: A Hands-On Workshop Approach, Gabriele Maier, Essam Abdelfattah, Erik Fausak
Journal of Extension
Even though failure or inadequate transfer of passive immunity in beef calves is common, few interventions on the ranch address the issue. A workshop series that used calf simulators and live calves improved rancher knowledge on passive transfer and other topics relevant to neonatal calf health across operation sizes and experience levels. At the conclusion of the workshop, participants expressed a positive attitude towards using pain control for painful procedures in calves, with cost being the most important reason for not using it. Based on participant feedback, roundtable discussions would improve the workshop format.

Oxidative stress occurs when the production of reactive oxygen species exceeds the antioxidant defense capacity of living organisms. Oxidative stress is commonly assessed using serum samples; however, blood sampling in pigs is often avoided on commercial farms because of disease transmission concerns and animal welfare considerations. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between oxidative stress markers in serum and colostrum samples and to determine their association with production performance in lactating sows. A total of 34 Landrace × Large White sows from a commercial farrow-to-finish farm were included in the study. Blood and colostrum samples were collected immediately after …
Predicting Tomorrow: Optimizing The Early Detection Of Disease And Disease Recovery In Dairy Calves Using Precision Technologies, Melissa Cantor
Predicting Tomorrow: Optimizing The Early Detection Of Disease And Disease Recovery In Dairy Calves Using Precision Technologies, Melissa Cantor
Theses and Dissertations--Animal and Food Sciences
The leading causes of morbidity and mortality in preweaned dairy calves are diarrhea and bovine respiratory disease complex (BRD). The delayed detection of these diseases in calves can also delay intervention and disease recovery. The overarching objective of this dissertation was to follow a cohort of calves daily for the first 90 days of life for naturally occurring clinical BRD bouts and diarrheal bouts. The objective answered if feeding behaviors and activity levels were different in at-risk calves during BRD development and BRD recovery from an antimicrobial intervention. Furthermore, the potential of colostrum replacer as a feeding intervention strategy to …

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
It is not infrequent that considerable difficulty is encountered in raising calves with limited amounts of milk or none at all. Requests for information on calf gruels, mixed grain feeds, and commercial supplements are frequent enough to make a short circular upon this subject seem desirable. Furthermore, as the more diversified agricultural program gets under way these requests are increasmg.

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
It becomes possible to understand some of the reasons for the occurrence of disorders among the newborn of animals kept under the usual conditions imposed by domestication. Among these, the subject of this circular, White Scours in Calves, occupies a prominent place.
