[QUOTE="GenuineRisk, post: 4407380, member: 12"] Would agree with perhaps low quality colostrum - you’d have thought four months was long enough for the dam to have produced any antibodies necessary when arriving in a new environment but maybe it wasn’t. With foals we want to insure, we have to do an iGg test after 12hours, before 24 to check antibody levels - if too low, it’s either a plasma transfusion or we wait it out til foal is 30 days and is insurable again. Obviously too expensive a process for the average pedigree calf ! If you breed the dam again, I’d maybe want to top her calf up with colostrum from another cow in herd if any in freezer at the time. Feel for you - hope she survives and isn’t compromised. [/QUOTE]
