Management for Disease Prevention in Dairy Beef Enterprises¹

The Pennsylvania State University, University Park 16802

Abstract

Sanitation principles necessary to rear small or large groups of calves for veal or beef purposes are fundamental, and there is little room for compromise. Disease problems in dairy-beef calves after weaning can be practically eliminated by sound feeding practices and preventing contamination of feed. Losses of over 5% of the baby calves up to weaning age can be prevented without expensive medication or housing, but losses can exceed 50% where basis sanitation principles are ignored.
