Eighty-three calves with a complicated umbilical hernia were included in a randomised prospective study. The frequency of wound infection was compared in two groups. The first group received antibiotics for one day, the second group for four days. The infection rate in calves receiving antibiotics for one day was 25 per cent compared with 8 per cent in calves treated for four days (P less than 0.05). Male calves were more susceptible to infection than female calves.
83头患有复杂脐疝的小牛被纳入一项随机前瞻性研究。比较了两组伤口感染的发生率。第一组接受抗生素治疗一天，第二组接受抗生素治疗四天。接受一天抗生素治疗的小牛感染率为25%，而接受四天治疗的小牛感染率为8%（P<0.05）。雄性小牛比雌性小牛更容易感染。
