We continue our discussion on the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in this episode, with a focus on baby calves. The first 24 hours are critical, as the GI microbiome begins to establish and interact with the enteric nervous system. While this microbiome evolves rapidly as new feedstuffs are introduced and calves gain more environmental exposure, the foundation laid early on helps set the stage for immune function and overall health during the first 30 days of life. Dr. Haas walks us through the first 24 hours and the following weeks, highlighting how this vital system helps calves not only survive but thrive. Tune in to learn more.
