I...I don't know if I'll ever give BoSe to newborns. I had reserved a buckling a few years ago, and the breeder did BoSe shots at birth. She said the kid was walking around fine, but after the shot, he was favoring the leg she injected. The next day he was dead. If you're giving it to the moms, I don't see the point in giving it to the kids at birth. As long as the mom's nutritional state is good, the kids should be in good shape.Deborah Niemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754242197245805551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-3464162252663029232008-10-18T09:01:00.000-05:002008-10-18T09:01:00.000-05:00Thanks for the tip about the copper boluses. I'm ...Thanks for the tip about the copper boluses. I'm definitely going to incorporate that into my program.<BR/>I was advised by a UK goat specialist to give every kid a Bo-Se shot within 24 hours of birth. He said it was like a small "insurance policy" to keep counteract white muscle. Then after speaking with several dairymen, I was convinced to begin incorporating a Bo-Se shot with the herd's yearly vaccinations. Like you, I worry about toxicity. However, if it's only administered at birth and then yearly, you shouldn't run into that problem.Gizmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12536962650196564993noreply@blogger.com
