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.
Factors that decrease the chance of. adequate colostral intake include: cold and or wet calves, dystocia, unusually large calves and prolonged calving times. In any of these cases, it is best to simply. tube feed the calf with colostrum so that the calf has the best chance of getting off to a good. start. In a calf under 75#, give 2 â 3 quarts and for calves over 75#, give 3 â 4 quarts soon after. birth.
