[QUOTE="Medic24, post: 77546, member: 1101"] ok.. here is my take on this... we feed yogurt all the time. DISCLAIMER-BUT I warn you.......I am not a pro, I am not a vet. But I used to play one on TV! :lol: We start feeding yogurt to our calves just after we stop feeding them colostrum, meaning a day or two after they are born, and we feed periodicly through the time that they are one the bottle and as they are being weaned... Here is our take on it......... Yogurt provides most of the same good bacteria that probios does for the calf to develop a healthy gut. Helps to digest the milk better etc. We use it to kick start the gut that way. when the calf is born, the gut is barren, meaning no or little bacteria in there. that's where colstrum comes in. But, if the colostrum is either not given , or not enuff, or it does not "take", then yogurt and the good bacteria in it should help to populate the gut before the bad bacteria does. ie: Salmonella, ecoli, etc. We also use it during and after antiboitics are used, or alot of stress is going on. Thats the theory anyway. :cboy: [/QUOTE]
