Cattle Health

Mad Cow Disease is a layman's term for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy.

Just do good foot bath for all your animals, best foot bath is cooper Sulphate 5% and Formalin 5%.

but it is according to country law.

The Mad Cows was created in 2000.

For you to eat canned green beans or for them? If it's for you, cattle couldn't care less if you get sick or not. As for them though, it's likely that they won't, but they may get sick if the can is bowed out or past the expiry date, because there's a chance that they may get botulism from it.

No, mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) is caused by a faulty (misfolded) protein called a prion, which can carry the disease between individuals.

For example: humans get it from eating infected tissue, receiving infected blood transfusions or it can also be genetic.

Animal health is crucial for several reasons, including the welfare of the animals themselves, the safety of the food supply, and the overall health of ecosystems. Healthy animals contribute to sustainable agriculture, ensuring food security and economic stability for farming communities. Additionally, animal health is interconnected with human health through zoonotic diseases, highlighting the importance of veterinary care in preventing outbreaks. Ultimately, promoting animal health supports biodiversity and the balance of natural systems.

Cattle vaccine N43 is designed to protect against specific diseases, particularly those caused by pathogens like viruses or bacteria. It typically contains inactivated or attenuated strains of the pathogens, along with adjuvants to enhance the immune response. The exact formulation can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific diseases targeted, such as bovine respiratory disease or reproductive diseases. Always refer to the product's labeling for precise ingredients and indications.

Extremely rare. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, the scientific name for mad cow disease) is caused by an infectious misfolded protein called a prion. This prion has been all but eradicated from the world and human cases of variant Creutzfeld-Jacobs Disease (vCJD, the name of the disease in humans caused by the BSE prion) have fallen to almost none.

There's the incisors and the molars, which are "scientific" names for the teeth in a cow. But they're names for the teeth in all other mammals too.

The brain.

Pretty much anything, but the two most likely reasons could be blackleg and scouring. You better get your vet out to do a necropsy on the calf, as if it is blackleg, you better get those calves vaccinated for blackleg ASAP.

True blindness may be caused by trauma to the eye, severe conjuntivitis due to IBR (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis) or pink eye or other infections, leptospirosis, lead poisoning, selenium toxicity, fungal infections, vitamin A deficiencies, rabies, vitamin B12 deficiency, neoplasia of the orbit or conjunctiva, cataracts, congenital malformations, etc.

It doesn't. Growth hormones are just that; they are just there to aid in the increase of milk production. Genetic technology is just a means to better select cows and bulls that are more apt to produce calves with better milking ability than themselves. Growth hormones have nothing to do with genetics or reproduction, really.

Usually nothing, and in many cases the veterinarian won't see a dead cow lying around on a farm. The farmer or herd manager will dispose of the body through burial or having the carcass hauled off to a rendering facility.

On occasion, a veterinarian can perform a necropsy on a dead cow to see what it died of. This involves carefully dissecting the cow apart and looking at all the organs and tissues to see what happened; often small samples of the organs are collected and sent to a lab for histopathogloy as well.

They may. Excessive saliva production could be a symptom of something else though, something that is a bit more serious than a heifer loosing baby teeth.

Find out WHY they are having diarrhea, because diarrhea can only be a symptom to a disease. Never treat the symptom, treat the disease. Cows can have diarrhea from something as serious as Johne's Disease or Bovine Viral Diarrhea, neither of which can be treatable and result in making the difficult choice of culling out your cow herd of those cows that are not only sick, but potentially carriers as well.

You're better off to get the veterinarian out to see what's going on instead of trying to find a way to treat a symptom.

Mad cow disease is known scientifically as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE for short. The disease was first identified in the United Kingdom and spread to many countries in Europe before it was understood. However, since the mid-1990s, most countries have instituted preventive measures to stop the spread of BSE and cases of BSE are now quite rare. I would expect within the next 10 years or so for the world to be declared free of BSE, and the incidence of BSE in Europe today (2011) is very low.

No. A cow regurgitates up partly digested food to rechew it, but the reflex isn't powerful enough to jettison out of her mouth like with the vomit reflex.

Subcutaneous injections are best given half-way up the neck in front of the shoulder, between the shoulder blades or over the ribs well behind the shoulder. NEVER give a subQ shot on the hindquarters! If you are giving it in the neck, it's best to form a tent with one hand, then insert the needle at a 30 to 45 degree in any part of the tent with the other hand. Be careful about how far you put the needle in, as most cases you don't need to have the needle all the way in to inject subQ. Some producers are really good at doing it one-handed, just by inserting the needle at a shallow angle (~30o) to the angle of the neck so that the needle is inserted under the skin.

depends: extend of injury acute / chronic, age of injury, and age of person if this is an acute tear without subluxation or bowstringing of the tendons then you can treat with a splint - wrist will be in neutral position if it's subluxing or bowstringing with extention of the wrist then you can try a splint and if no better then surgically suture the tear and splint. if this goes untreated then you can lose range of motion hope this helps

Moldy hay often won't make a cow sick due to the ability of the rumen to degrade the mycrotoxins found in such feed. You often won't see any issues in your animals, except lower feed intake because moldy hay doesn't taste nearly as good as good hay, however, certain molds can cause issues like aspergillosis or mycotic abortions, respiratory issues, and chronic issues (especially if fed for too long a period) like reduced feed intake, altered rumen fermentability, reduced fertility, reduced productivity, and higher morbidity (incidence of diseases, not death rates). It is much more concerning if you have a pregnant cow that you are feeding moldy hay to than to steers, bulls, replacement heifers or non-productive/dry, open cows. It is also very concerning if you feed such hay to horses, as it can cause serious problems such as colic or heaves.

If you have more "sensitive" animals such as pregnant cows, try to look for good hay instead and either save the moldy hay for those animals which will not be so sensitive to the mycotoxins. Sometimes a producer has no choice but to feed moldy hay to their animals, and often see few problems as a result. Still, it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on them to see if any issues--especially respiratory--come up. If there are issues that come up, contact a large-animal veterinarian and/or a bovine nutritionist to see what can be done to alleviate, prevent or treat the problems that do arise.

Aureomycin is mainly a feed additive that is used to prevent certain disease, not treat them. It prevents bacterial pneumonia, shipping fever, anaplasmosis, and bacterial enteritis in cattle. It is also used to help reduce foot rot in grass-raised stocker/backgrounding calves.

Of course the diseases this medication prevents depends on the type of livestock you're referring to. For that reason, please see the related links below for more information.

No. Grasshoppers get eaten by all sorts of animals any time. If a cow eats a grasshopper by accident don't worry: it's just added protein to her diet.

Mad Cow Disease....... New person here, can't see how to answer question, so will just edit: Listeria comes to mind as well.
