What can be a consequence of not following your vet's preconditioning recommendations for calves?

  1. Improved growth rates

  2. Decreased health and nutrition

  3. Enhanced immunity

  4. Reduced feed costs

The correct answer is: Decreased health and nutrition

Not following your vet's preconditioning recommendations for calves can lead to decreased health and nutrition. Preconditioning protocols are designed to prepare calves for the stresses of weaning, vaccination, and transportation. Ignoring these recommendations can result in inadequate nutrition and immune responses, making calves more susceptible to illnesses and potentially leading to poor growth outcomes. When calves are not appropriately preconditioned, they may not receive essential vaccinations, nutritional support, or stress management strategies. This deficiency can impair their overall health, making them vulnerable to diseases and affecting their ability to thrive post-weaning. As a result, the calves may experience higher morbidity and mortality rates, along with suboptimal growth and productivity in the long term.
