[QUOTE="czechmate, post: 7478342, member: 52"] We buy a white powder product from bio 3G (do they call on you - annoying as hell). So normally we bed with straw but harvest was worse than awful, grass harvest was massive (we still have over a thousand bales), so, before we ran out of straw we started mixing with hay. My man here said “oh I’ve had trouble with swollen navel bedding hay and my vet confirmed the link”. Yea yea I think. Calving started about four weeks back , after a few days our 21 year old pet cow needed putting down😢, so the vet was out and the first calf was unwell with swollen navel. Vet had a look and gave AB (for 10 days!). I asked about the link. “No link at all”, our vet says. Since then, some 15 calves and another with the swollen navel. Now we havnt had one at all in 8 years, so hence this thread. Both calves recovered well👍 [/QUOTE]
