Title: Comparative diagnoses of respiratory disease in preweaned dairy calves using sequential thoracic ultrasonography and clinical respiratory scoring
The purpose of this factsheet is to provide dairy veterinarians with simplified procedures so that they can use Petrifilm for their Calf Care Audits to evaluate colostrum and calf milk quality.
The objective of this study was to compare clinical observations made by trained investigators with treatment decisions for pre‐weaned calves made by farm personnel.
Although there are often just one or two of these calves born each year in a beef herd, occasionally, the syndrome can be seen in outbreak form and result in the loss of many calves.
From work done by Godden and others at the University of Minnesota, feeding waste milk is cost‐effective because of less expense and better growth of calves compared to standard milk replacers.
