The "wandering" calf - CCN Season
Ensuring good rumen health is key to the prevention of not only CCN but also goes hand in hand with summer scour prevention.
Silage season is well upon us now, our local contractors in Carrignavar, 'The Murphys', have come and gone, first-cut over and out. But before they left we took a few photos of the team and their impressive array of tractors - it will be nice to make this an annual tradition.
With silage season comes my reliance on anti-histamines to keep the dreaded hay fever at bay. I mentioned in last week’s article about keeping an eye on calves in grass this summer, especially for a disease called Cerebrocortico necrosis (CCN).
