The "When" for Oral Electrolytes
November 2019 Calf Management Newsletter
The main points in the letter:
·
Electrolytes are only helpful
if the calf drinks them.
·
The most important ingredient
in an oral electrolyte feeding is water.
·
As soon as a calf’s manure
will no longer stay on top of her bedding she may be losing more fluid than she
is consuming – it is electrolyte time!
·
What other criteria make
sense when deciding which calves receive electrolyte feedings?
·
How does electrolyte feeding
fit into the daily routine?
·
Calves should still have
access to free-choice water when receiving oral electrolytes and we should
continue our regular milk feeding protocol.
