English term or phrase: Milk withdrawal
The context is the treatment of scours in calves, and the sentence is:
"no milk withdrawal from calf"
Jerome Elhaik
Local time: 22:08
French translation:supprimer le lait
Explanation:
The sentence may mean "do not take milk away from the calf" (while treating for scours), which I would translate as "Ne pas supprimer le lait" ou encore "Continuer à donner du lait au veau".

Another possible meaning (depending on context) is "the calf does not experience milk withdrawal symptoms", for instance if the scours treatment consists in a milk replacement product with antibiotics. In that case, I would translate as "Pas de symptôme de privation/ de sevrage pour le veau".

milk withdrawal
Tarissement / Sevrage


Explanation:
Tarissement s'applique aux vaches qui n'ont plus de lait, après avoir nourri leur veau.
Pour la phrase en anglais proposée, on peut aussi comprendre "pas de sevrage de lait pour le veau".

Donc ne pas sevrer le veau ou ne pas arrêter l'alimentation au lait.
