calve scour when cows bulling

[crofteress]

Hello, will a calf scour when his mother is bulling, same as foals do at 4 weeks. I had nearly all my calves scour with crypto and all got better, this one is the oldest 2 month old, he never had crypto scour but now he's been scouring green/brown the last few days he's lively and sucking normally, he's on hay as they are still in .His mother is bulling yesterday and today

 

[choochter]

don't know the answer to your question but am interested to hear others views on this

someone will know what green/brown scour is

Dark,coccidiosis?

 

[crofteress]

no its not dark like that no blood in it

Think the fact cows are bulling is a coincidence.

@crofteress did all your calves make a good recovery the crypto and was it a slow job

the calf wouldn't have been gorging himself on a lick bucket would he?

Hi yes all recovered quickly apart from one, who had it twice, they were all over it in a day or two but the whole episode still covered 10 days to a fortnight. This one never had it as he was born first . Yes choochter put a fertility lick in the other day come to think of it

Calve muck seem to change when mothers are bulling a change in the milk
