[QUOTE="livestock 1, post: 7900496, member: 106502"] We had a few with navel Ill last year which we got recovered on the whole but some of the calves effected are smaller poor doers now. All calves dipped with iodine immediately, it would appear the iodine isn’t working as well as it has been. Years ago we switched to bactikill as advised by the vet which worked well but as it’s unpleasant to use in a spray or dip we decided using it for six months of the year probably wasn’t the best idea for everyone. I think (I stand to be corrected) that it’s ecoli related so colostrum quality is as much importance as dipping navels and cleanliness of pens. The ones we had effected were all off older cows later marked to cull so this would add up. We rotavec everything that calves inside which activates antibodies in colostrum to fight scour. I would imagine in an older cow struggling to produce decent quality colostrum this will be less effective which tells a tale [/QUOTE]
