Q
Esophageal Groove in Pre-Weaned Calves
A
- DONT ALWAYS THINK PATHOGEN WITH CALF D+
- Esophgeal goorve needs to close over to go straight to abomasum and avoid fermentation of milk in calves! Need to behave as a monogastric animal before weaning
- If it doesn’t close properly, may get a rudimentary rumen forming and the gut will become very upset
- So we need to think of the way we feed them, height of the bucket, stresses around feeding
- Need to keep a bit of routine in feeding and HYGIENE
15
Q
Winter Dysentary in Cattle
A
- explosive diarrhea going down a row of cattle (will literally move down the row if they are housed in groups) . Horrific while it is happening and low milk yields, can recover though!!
- but it will affect fertility and conception rates as well and milk yields down
- milk yield only slowly comes back, the D+ only lasts about 3-4 days though
- Winter Dysentery is a highly contagious GI disorder that affects housed adult dairy cattle primarily during winter.
- Winter dysentery can spread throughout an entire herd within 7 to 10 days
16

- Watery mouth disease is commonly encountered in twins but especially triplet lambs aged 12 to 36 hours kept in unhygienic conditions.
- Affectedlambs are dull, lethargic, depressed and reluctant to suck
- prevent by ensuring colostrum intake!!
