Our objective was to explore change in activity variables relative clinical identification of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) cattle maintained a commercial feedlot. Four blocks (n=364) high-risk, crossbred beef calves were affixed with an accelerometer device upon feedlot arrival that continuously logged (standing time, step count, lying bouts, motion index) for 56-day period. Overall, 51.5% diagnosed at least once BRD, while 15.2 and 4.5% had second third BRD event, respectively. The...
Abstract OBJECTIVE To survey cattle producers and veterinarians about the use of analgesia on US operations. SAMPLE 1,187 members following database, electronic mailing lists, social media groups: FarmProgress master file, American Association Bovine Practitioners, Academy Veterinary Consultants, National Milk Producers Federation Farm Evaluators, Dairy Moms Facebook group, Girl Network group. PROCEDURES An online was developed to gather information frequency local systemic for common...
Paratuberculosis is a chronic, infectious disease of ruminants that entails serious concern for the cattle industry. One main issues relates to efficiency diagnosis subclinically infected animals. The objective this field study was analyse association among results serum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), faecal culture and nested PCR tests on milk, blood faeces Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis detection in dairy cows. Faeces, milk samples were collected from 328...
To determine the association of CBC variables and castration status at time arrival a research facility with risk development bovine respiratory disease (BRD).Retrospective cohort study.1,179 crossbred beef bull (n = 588) steer (591) calves included in 4 experiments 2 University Arkansas facilities.Calves underwent processing treatments accordance experiment which they were enrolled. Castration values determined facilities. Calves monitored to detect signs BRD during 42-day period.The areas...
Escherichia coli O157:H7 fecal shedding in feedlot cattle is common and a public health concern due to the risk of foodborne transmission that can result severe, or even fatal, disease people. Despite large body research, few practical cost-effective farm-level interventions have been identified. In this study, randomized controlled trial was conducted assess effect reducing level water automatically refilling water-troughs on E. cattle. Pens Texas Panhandle were randomly allocated as...
Clinical mastitis is an economically important disease and constitutes a major reason for antibiotic use in conventional dairy farms. In contrast, organic farms are restricted the of antibiotics, resulting reduced availability therapies treatment clinical mastitis. Consequently, alternative medications to antibiotics effective would be beneficial dairies. The objective this study was evaluate efficacy botanical preparation (PHYTO-MAST®) cows.
