TL;DR: Factors associated with the incidence of retained placentas in Holstein cows were determined from records of 298 carvings at the South Dakota State University research farm from 1968 to 1972.

TL;DR: Holstein calves were randomly allotted to two housing systems (inside and outside) and three weaning ages (3, 5, and 7 weeks) within each housing system and three housing systems had no effect on the incidence of scours or pneumonia.

TL;DR: Rapeseed and sunflower meals can be used successfully as protein supplements in calf starter rations though the former may be unpalatable.

TL;DR: In this article, a 2-yr study of 195 parturitions was conducted to evaluate the prepartum need for supplemental vitamin E and selenium by cows consuming diets that contained ample amounts of selenIUM.

TL;DR: Parturition was initiated in 25 of 29 Holstein cows given dexamethasone intramuscularly at day 273 of gestation and results of California Mastitis Tests taken at 15 and 30 days post calving were similar.
