Large calf ranches rear neonatal cattle for veal or dairy beef. Dairy beef ranches purchase bull calves from multiple sources and with questionable colostrum intake histories. They need information to help with calf purchasing strategies and on-farm management practices to avoid losses. It was the purpose of this project to describe factors associated with mortality in neonatal calves raised on a large calf ranch.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
