[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 987819, member: 12607"] Oops. Noticed a mistake in my previous post. The DE-precipitated outbreak of urolithiasis was probably silicate stones, not struvite - unless it also skewed Ca:P. Diatom exoskeletons are composed of silica. inyati, the only issue I have with banding, at any age, is the potential for tetanus. I've seen it in baby calves banded at birth and in big 4-7cwt bulls done with the Callicrate or California-type banders. Granted, the number of tetanus cases that occur, compared to the number that are banded is pretty small, but it is a consideration. But by the same token, the only case of tetanus that I've had in one of my own animals was in a 400-lb calf that I knife-cut, so it's not necessarily just a problem with banding. [/QUOTE]
