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.
Cows should be checked 3 to 4 times (or more) per day. Heifers should be observed at least every 4 hours, if possible. Cows that are in active labor should make good progress or deliver a calf in 1 hour. If they are not making progress, the position and size of the calf should be checked.alves need to have there first drink of colostrum 2 to 4 hours after birth. All calves should be checked to see if they have nursed within 2 to 4 hours of birth. Calves that have not nursed should be assisted or tube fed colostrum with a special calf feeder.
