EPISODE 21 DETAILS
MYSTERIOUS DISEASE SHOWS UP IT TEXAS DAIRY CATTLE
There is talk of an unknown illness in Texas dairy cattle, and has worried many dairy producers. What we do know about this situation is that The cause of this disease has not been determined yet, but, to date, dairies in Texas, Kansas, and New Mexico have reported cattle with symptoms. This disease has only affected dairy cattle so far.
Diseased cattle show signs of a sudden drop in milk production, thickened colostrum-like milk, a drop in feed consumption, reduced rumen motility, tacky feces or diarrhea, and some fever. Some cows also developed pneumonia or mastitis. A portion of older, mid-lactation cattle are more severely affected. First lactation cows, heifers, and calves are usually not severely impacted. If you recognize these signs in your herd, contact your veterinarian immediately.
The Texas Animal Health Commission, along with other organizations are investigating the epidemiology of this disease to determine how it spreads. Once this information is released, the next steps for dairy farms will be much clearer.
