Strategies to Improve Calf Health in Beef Units

Investigative techniques and strategies for influencing calf health in beef suckling & rearing units

  • The impact of passive immunity
  • Strategies to influence the transfer of passive immunity
  • Testing for passive immunity
  • Beef rearing units
  • Observational study

Poor colostrum intake and inadequate suckling are commonly suspected contributors to neonatal calf disease and poor calf resilience, yet they can be difficult to evaluate in practice. This webinar examines the factors affecting calf suckling, the implications for health and growth, current passive immunity standards, testing methods, and evidence from a UK observational study on the influence of passive immunity and transition milk quality on dairy and beef calf performance.
