These infections can be prevented by adequate navel treatment in calves and adequate passive antibody transfer (three litres of good quality colostrum during the first 6 hours of life but preferably within the first two hours). Navel infection may remain localised to the navel but can also lead to peritonitis and in more severe cases to septicaemia and focal infections such as joint ill and meningitis. In most cases of joint ill and septicaemia, bacteria gain entry through the gut within the first few hours of life before colostrum ingestion rather than from umbilical infection.
