Q

What are reasons for low volume intake?

A
  1. Thats just how they naturally suck. (Holsteins about 2.4L instead of 4L)
  2. mom is going through post partum depression?
  3. Udder/teat are not in a great conformation (pendulous [ow?!])
  4. Fetal/maternal disproportion

Q

What can lead to poor quality colostrum?

Q

You have bacT count on some colostrum clocking at a count >2mil cfu/ml and a fecal coliform registering at a count of <9,500 cfu/ml. From these results is the colostrum good or poor quality?
