BENEFITS
FEATURES
|
A
wet hair coat causes rapid loss of body heat, especially if the air
temperature is below 70° F. First-calf heifers often lack the
experience to lick and dry their calf, or to stand so calf can nurse.
A slow-birth may put calf in a hypoxic state (lack of oxygen). A hypoxic
calf is slow to dry off, stand, and nurse; allowing hypothermia to
set in. Calves should stand and nurse within 2-hours of birth, if
everything is normal. Tube-feed stored colostrum if calf has not nursed
within 4-hours. Warm colostrum speeds recovery by warming the calf
from inside out.
Calves that are constantly shivering, and have not nursed, need to
be dried and warmed right away. Calves that are lethargic and unable
to stand should be checked at once for hypothermia. Put your fingers
in the calve's mouth. If it feels cool and the calf has no sucking
reflex, the calf is cold-stressed and needs to be dried and warmed
immediately.
Out calf warmer has been field-proven to be the fastest way to revive
& stabilize cold-stressed newborn calves.
