[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 958436, member: 5601"] ALACOWMAN Re: In a cow/calf operation that is true, but in just a calf operation, where you have control of either their water and/or feed it is not. The only way I know of to only treat the calves in a cow/calf operation is through the use of creep feeding, or you do a roundup, separation and injection. Then with creep feeding the problem is getting the dosage correct as you may have a wide range of weights if you breed year round or have a long breeding season. So in a cow/calf operation, of the 4 means to administer antibiotics, injection is probably the best route to take. To me, as a calf operation ( I buy calves ) it is absolutely necessary to administer antibiotics upon purchase and up to 1 year of age, as my calves are not receiving any antibiotics from their mother’s milk as they would be in a cow/calf operation. So in a calf operation, of the 4 means to administer antibiotics, mixing with feed ( AUREOMYCIN ) or mixing with water (Duramycin) is my best route to take as I already have them separated, grouped by weight and I control their feed and water intake.
