Hazard: When scaffolds are not erected or used properly, fall hazards can occur. About 2.3 million construction workers frequently work on scaffolds. Protecting these workers from scaffold-related accidents would prevent an estimated 4,500 injuries and 50 fatalities each year.
The amount of immunoglobulin ingested is also a major determinant of final serum immunoglobulin concentration. A practical rule-of-thumb is to feed 5 to 6% of the calf's body weight within the first 6 hours and repeat the feeding when the calf is about 12 hours old. For an 80 pound calf, this will equate to approximately 2 quarts of colostrum per feeding.
One to 3 ounces of colostrum (first milkâartificial is available) should be given in the first hour and every three hours after that for the first day. On the second and third day, 2 to 3 ounces of colostrum or fresh/frozen goat's milk (raw or whole cow's milk will work) are fed eight to 10 times a day. During the first week, 4 to 5 ounces of milk are fed seven to eight times day, then six times a day for the following two weeks. For two months following this, 6 to 8 ounces of milk are fed with decreasing frequency, starting at five times a day and working toward a weaned 2-month-old kid.
