==Treatment and Control==

Once a diagnosis has been made as to the likely causative organisms a number of management issues on the farm must be addressed. These include ensuring each calf ingests enough good quality colostrum, good nutrition, stress management, good housing, and other management of any concurrent diseases. Additionally group sizes should be assessed and ideally no more than 20 calves should be housed per group. Animals should be kept in groups of the same age and should not share airspace with adult cattle.  If this is not possible animals should be arranged with the air flowing from youngest to oldest. Isolation/ hospital pens should be available to prevent spread of disease and to ensure affected animals are cared for correctly.

Additionally, once causative organisms have been identified [[Vaccines - WikiBlood|vaccination]] programmes can also be put in place for cows 4 weeks pre-partum to improve colostral antibodies that the calves will receive.
