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.
DeCalf (jersey bull calf) was born on Friday around 4 p.m. How long do you wait to use the milk? I like to freeze 4-10 gallons of colostrum to have on hand for anyone/thing that is sick to drink. The milk usually comes in day 3-6 (everyone is a little different). How do you know the difference between the colostrum and the milk? Color, taste, whether it strains or not--colostrum does not strain well; yes I taste it when I think we are getting close. I squirt a little in my clean palm and taste it.
