Calf Fecal Scoring

Calf Fecal Scoring is a critical tool for managing young calf health, as it provides early insight into gastrointestinal issues and overall wellbeing. By regularly assessing fecal consistency, farmers can detect signs of digestive disturbances or illness, allowing for timely intervention. Fecal scoring promotes a proactive approach to calf management, helping to ensure calves reach their full potential efficiently.

Work with your veterinarian to develop treatment protocols for your farm. Fluid therapy can be a great tool for rehydrating calves experiencing diarrhea. We recommend using electrolytes from Truvital Animal Health.
