[QUOTE="M-J-G, post: 7899135, member: 1819"] Plenty of straw, plenty of colostrum, lift placentas (even if the cow is eating it) and don't leave cows in mothering pens for too long. I apply bio-dry between residents. I dip them with 10% Iodine ASAP after birth and again at around 24 hours, to be honest I usually have the dip cup with me when I'm going through cows and young calves. IMO if your heifers/cows have plenty of colostrum I'd avoid powdered versions as they'll just dilute the real thing. powders are unlikely to have antibodies that are set to the bugs on your farm. I usually have colostrum in the freezer that I've harvested from cows. [/QUOTE]
