Calves are born with limited iron stores. Iron deficiency can lead to anaemia, which manifests as pale mucous membranes, weakness and reduced weight gain. Furthermore, iron deficiency impairs calves’ immune systems, making them more susceptible to infections. Selenium deficiency is also a widespread problem in calves, which can occur both in regions with selenium-deficient grounds and in intensive rearing systems. Selenium is an essential trace element that plays a key role in the body’s antioxidant defence system and is vital for the functioning of the immune system. Calves suffering from selenium deficiency often show symptoms such as muscle weakness, growth retardation and an increased susceptibility to infections. As a preventative measure, it is important to provide calves with iron- and selenium-containing feed supplements at an early stage. A timely and adequate supply of these essential nutrients promotes the calves’ health and helps to optimise their growth and development. Good to know: Early administration within the first few hours of life is important and should, where possible, take place within the first 12 hours of life after the baby has had its first feed of colostrum.
