Hazard: When scaffolds are not erected or used properly, fall hazards can occur. About 2.3 million construction workers frequently work on scaffolds. Protecting these workers from scaffold-related accidents would prevent an estimated 4,500 injuries and 50 fatalities each year.
The amount of immunoglobulin ingested is also a major determinant of final serum immunoglobulin concentration. A practical rule-of-thumb is to feed 5 to 6% of the calf's body weight within the first 6 hours and repeat the feeding when the calf is about 12 hours old. For an 80 pound calf, this will equate to approximately 2 quarts of colostrum per feeding.
Feeding dairy calves. The health of the calves depends largely on how well the cows were fed during the last two months of gestation. During the first 4-6 hours of life, calves need colostrum, and should be kept on colostrum for at least the first 24 hours, preferably for the first few days of life.
