Calf scours prevention and antibody protection research
First Defense Technology® Field Demonstration Summary of a field demonstration to evaluate the impact of a First Defense Technology® hyperimmune E/C colostrum powder on calf health.
A large-scale calf ranch in the southwestern United States conducted a field demonstration to evaluate the impact of a First Defense Technology hyperimmune E/C colostrum powder on calf health. Hyperimmune E/C colostrum powder is derived from cows hyperimmunized to both E. coli and bovine coronavirus.
The demonstration involved approximately 70 4-day old calves per day from 35 sources with average transit time to the ranch of 20 hours. Researchers tracked death loss, total treatments, first treatment event, and secondary treatment event.
