[QUOTE="dun, post: 65371, member: 34"] Some breeds, particularly bos indicus influenced cattle tend to have more of a navel flap. AAlthoug I'veseen Gelbvieh with a lot of flesh. I discussed the treating of navels with the vet a couple of years ago. He had a study done at dairys that pretty much came up no significant difference in navel problems (navel ill, etc) from those that had the navel/umbilical treated with iodine. It was thought that the main difference in health between the two groups was the additional care that was common in the herds that did dip navels. If we catch a calf when it's first born we'll dip the navel. Usually the cow lilcks/sucks the iodine off as soon as we turn the calf loose. We haven't had any navel problems for years except those that were born from prolapsie cows that had been stiched up a month or more before calving. dun [/QUOTE]
