[QUOTE="twizzel, post: 7899083, member: 64240"] Having trouble this year with suckler calves getting navel ill. I iodine spray them at birth religiously and try to again a few hours later. Calving pens are deep bedded and they go out into a big shed with outside loafing area at a week old, which is bedded every other day. Doing nothing different other than bedding liberally with wheat straw, some of it is a bit damp as been stored outside under silage sheet. So that’s the only thing I can attribute the infections too 🤔 Am I better spraying or dipping navels? Is there anything else I can do to try and prevent it? Brought another one in this morning, 3 weeks old. We’ve had issues with hernias in 2 calves too which have needed surgical repair. All the calves that are succumbing seem to be out of heifers, but they’re getting plenty of colostrum at birth both mothers and powdered. Just wondering if I’m missing something or could be doing something better to prevent it. [/QUOTE]
