    Howdy, You ask a good question, but, I would suggest you ask your extension agent and local vet. The vet that gave you the prescription for the Bo-Se. :) Your vet could give you a better determination for you.

    How do you stop a calf licking the navels of other calves?

    Howdy, I am assuming they are new borns. Usually a good dipping of thier umbilical cords with strong ticnture of iodine helps keep them off each other for a while. Bottle feed more.
