[QUOTE="dun, post: 73535, member: 34"] In theory, immursing the cord allows the stuff to get inside so that it forms a disinfectant barrier. Some we dip, if we get a chance, some we don;t. A couple of years ago we only dipped one and she got scepticemia, but that was from a cow that had prolapsed and was sewed up for two months before calving so she may have gotten the infection that way. I talked to the vet about the dipping deal a couple of years ago and he had just finished reading a study in some journal. The claim was that there was only a fraction of a percentage difference between the dipped herds and the undipped herds. The determination was that the difference was probably more attributed to sanitation and attendance of someone at the calving. dun [/QUOTE]
