The key takehome points (more detail in the newsletter):
·         Before increasing milk feeding rates know your current scours treatment rate.
·         If it is 20 percent or more during the first 4 weeks of life take remedial measures to decrease your treatment rate before increasing feeding rates.
·         There are 10 common differences between dairies that either do or do not have scours problems when feeding rates are increased.
·         Plan for success – put your dairy in the “Low Scours Rate” column before increasing your milk feeding rate.
