Slacked Lime as a Preventive of Scours for Whey-fed Calves¹

Department of Animal Production, University of Wyoming, Laramie

ABSTRACT

Studies involving 30 Holstein calves were carried out to formulate the best system of starting and continuing calves on reconstituted whey to 60 days of age. Approximately normal rates of growth were obtained when whole milk was continued for 2 weeks, followed by a gradual change to remade whey, provided that when scours occurred they were stopped by the addition of slacked lime ( teaspoon) to each feeding of remade whey.
