| Disease | Common Cold |
| Disease Description | Common cold in animal is manifested by the sign of Nasal and ocular discharge, Coughing, Slight fever etc. |
| Management Practices | Without doubt, individual hutches are the way to go to minimize coughing and pneumonia. There are few things nicer to see than a calf chewing its cud while lying down comfortably on dry bedding inside its hutch on a cold rainy and windy day. The next best prevention of coughing calves is raising calves in a super hutch as a social group, but you need to watch out for any cross-sucking of pen mates’ teats.
