Abstract

Background: Umbilical infections in calves demonstrate varied presentations, ranging from subclinical to localised swellings to more severe, disseminated infections, with or without associated umbilical hernias. Hygiene is a key modifiable risk factor – good management practices are central to prevention. A logical, structured approach to diagnosis, incorporating appropriate diagnostics and a clear understanding of when medical treatment or surgical intervention is indicated, is essential for prompt resolution and optimisation of calf welfare.

Aim of the article: This article describes how to diagnose and treat cases of umbilical infections in youngstock and provides evidence-based recommendations for their prevention.
