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.
Standing to Processing (4 to 12 Hours) I mentioned earlier that it is vital for the calf to get antibodies from the colostrum in the first four hours. These are the ones that will do the most good for the calf. Still, the calf can utilize antibodies consumed within colostrum during the 4 to 12 hour period also.
