The challenge: The change from milk to complete feed is a crucial phase for rearing calves and feeder calves. During this period, the digestive system has to fully develop and adapt to new feed components. This adaptation causes stress for the young organism – especially for the sensitive intestine. After weaning or when moving feeder […]
The challenge: Newborn calves are particularly challenging in the first few weeks of life, as their active immunity is not yet fully developed. Digestive problems such as infectious calf diarrhoea are particularly problematic for many farms. These problems often occur in the first two weeks of life and have various causes, e.g. high calving and […]
The challenge: The diarrhoea that occurs is not always caused by an infection, but can also be triggered by non-infectious factors. These include, for example, feeding errors, feed changes or inadequate hygiene. In the case of diarrhoea, immediate reaction is important to prevent not only dehydration but also undersupply of the piglet. The need for […]
The challenge: In cases of diarrhoea, the calf excretes large amounts of electrolytes and fluid, which needs to be compensated via the feed. Electrolytes are acids, bases and also salts. They form a sensitive balance in the body, the electrolyte balance. This is the basis for many important biochemical processes in the body. A disruption […]
Newborn calves are particularly sensitive in the first few weeks of life, as their immune defences are not yet fully developed. Digestive disorders in particular, such as infectious calf diarrhoea, are a significant risk for many farms. These problems often occur in the first two weeks of life and are promoted by factors such as […]
The challenge: In cases of diarrhoea, the calf excretes large amounts of electrolytes in addition to fluid and these electrolytes must be supplied once again via the drink. Electrolytes are acids, bases and also salts. They form a delicate balance in the body, the electrolyte balance. This is the basis for many important biochemical processes […]
The challenge: Diarrhoea in the first four weeks of life is one of the most common health problems in calves and can cause considerable economic damage. Non-infectious diarrhoea in particular is a major challenge as the loss of fluids and electrolytes can severely impair the development of young animals. The most common causes of non-infectious […]
The challenge: Diarrhoea during the first four weeks of life is one of the most common health issues in calves and often results in significant economic losses. Non-infectious calf diarrhoea, in particular, presents a challenge as it can severely impair the development of young animals due to fluid and electrolyte loss. The causes of non-infectious […]
