Facts
Dairymen
Should
Know
By Victor Plastow
Associate Agricultural Agent
Unchecked lice in a dairy herd
will greatly reduce milk pro
duction Lice live on cattle dur
ing the summer but they do not
inciease rapidly until fall or
early winter When unconti oil
ed, lice multiply quickly and
become a serious pi oblem in late
winter They lower the vitality
01 lotenone aie lecommended
of the infested animals Ciodrm
foi lice conuol Both when
pioperly applied, are approved
foi cows in milk and for calves
over 4 months of age For com
plete lice control with sprays, it
is desirable to use 1 to 2 gallons
per animal with complete head
to tail coverage and lepeat the
spiay in 21 days
Grass tetany is a metabolic
condition occurring in cattle,
usually during spung There is
general agreement that the con
dition occurs as the result of de
creased levels of magnesium in
ike condition has been
repoited on pastures of wheat,
bailey, lye. and lush native
grasses Symptoms usually 7 ap
pear in the fust few 7 weeks on a
specific pasture Animals of all
ages and both sexes may be af
fected but lecently fieshen cow-s
appeal to be most susceptible.
The onset of the condition has
been repoited following wet,
cold weathei, implicating a
stiess factor Initially, animals
may show muscular tiemois
localized in the muscles ovei the
shouldei and lump These eaily
symptoms gradually intensify un
til geneialized Convulsions
dominate In some cases muscle
tiemois are absent and animals
will be nervous irritable, and be
have in an irrational manner.
Animals affected in this manner
may attack without provocation.
Other comdtions with similar
symptoms may appear during
this season to make a diagnosis
difficult, and other diseases may
need to be treated in a manner
quite different from grass
tetany. A successful preventive
measure consists of feeding one
ounce of magnesium oxide per
head per day in the mineral mix.
Recovery in untreated indivi
duals is rare. The soil testing
service of the Pennsylvania
State University is now notify
ing farmers and making recom
mendations when soil test re
sults reveal magnesium de
ficiency
Correcting soil magnesium
levels appears to be the best in
surance against magnesium de*
ficiency in crops, or animals liv
ing off the land Early detection
and veterinary assistance will
virtually eliminate death losses
due to this condition
This is the season to beware
of gaihc in pastures If you have
any doubt that this weed is pre
sent be very careful to leave
your cows in the pasture for
short periods of time, because
this weed can cause off flavors
