[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 820470, member: 8265"] The vets should be advising you on treatment. Corid in the water works if calves are drinking, but if they are nursing, that's a problem. And again, if they are late in the incubation period of disease, it isn't as effective. I would say to focus on keeping them from exposure. The bug is shed in the manure from infected animals. Then the next animal somehow gets manure in it's mouth. Either from eating off the ground where there's manure (bale rings, short pasture or hay fed on the ground). Or, with nursing calves, the cows might be laying in manure and getting it on their bags which the calves are nursing on. Bottom line is a need for sanitation. Feed up off the ground, or in a clean area. Cows should be provided clean bedding or moved around to clean areas to keep their udders clean. Get them away from areas where the sick calves were. What kind of area are the cows in? Hopefully not wet and muddy and manure filled. The bugs that are shed survive a long time (years) if in a wet environment. Dryness and sunlight help to kill it.
