Abstract

A field study, controlled at the farm level, was conducted utilizing 495 newborn calves in 13 commercial Wisconson dairy herds to evaluate the use of a new umbilical disinfectant dip (Navel Guard (NG), Sirius Chemical Group, McDonough, GA) to prevent umbilical infections (omphalitis) as compared to 1) not dipping the umbilicus at birth, 2) dipping the umbilicus with 7% tincture of iodine, or 3) dipping the umbilicus with solutions containing a lower concentration (0.5 to 2%) of iodine.
