In order to reduce health problems in rearing calves, in the first days of their life they should drink good-quality colostrum, containing at least 50 g/L of immunoglobulins.
Solution
30 days before calving, cows should receive 300 g of linseed (rich in omega-3 fatty acids) per day, and after calving for another 30 days.
Description
Thanks to the supplementation used, colostrum has a higher content of immunoglobulins, on average above 50 g / L. The use of fatty additives in the form of linseeds is a procedure that can easily be put into practice, enabling the beneficial modification of the immune components of the colostrum. Linseeds have to be fed raw and unprocessed once a day, 300 g per cow. With an average absorption of immunoglobulins by the intestines (20-30%), the calf should consume 100-200 g of Ig G within 6 hours after calving, which is guaranteed by an appropriate passive transfer. This will promote calf health.
