title: Investigation on farmer's colostrum feeding methods: habits affecting colostral status in neonatal calves.
abstract: Colostrum feeding methods were studied in 23 Belgian herds. Data were collected on 11 factors involved in colostrum management and absorption. Single correlation coefficients were determined among these factors. The data indicate that, under usual Belgian farming, the farmer's practices influence many of the factors involved in colostrum management and absorption.
