IRB Outbreak
Can Be Costly
A disease outbreak in a Mary
land dairy herd last week has
boon diagnosed as IBR (Infec
tious Bovine Rhinotracheilis) ac
cording to University veterin
arians.
The ownei feels that a con
servative estimate of the loss on
his 160 cows from decreased
production, abortions, veterin
ary fees, medicine and unusable
milk will be $lO,OOO
An IBR outbreak in a dairy
herd costs an average of S6O foi
every cow in the herd, says Dr
Robert Hammond, Extension
veterinarian
We aie finding cases of IBR
on scattered faims all across
Maryland, and since this is a
vnus disease, no one knows
where it will hit next, Dr Ham

diagnosed in your held it is too
late to vaccinate In fact, vac
c nation at that time will cause
moie losses than it will pi event.”
“There is not even a good
treatment for the disease,” Dr
Hammond explains He recom
mends antibiotics to “keep out
secondary infections”, but the
antibiotics will not conti ol the
IBR virus
Furthermoi e, many antibio
tics may not be used on “meat
producing animals” and the milk
from treated cows must be dis
carded You should consult a
veterinarian before treating cat
tie with any drug.
Since treatment is so difficult,
it is best to prevent the disease
Isolate any new additions to the
herd, or cows that have been to
the fair Don’t visit infected
heids to see how they look. Dr
Hammond cautions
A clear watery discharge from
the eyes and nose is the first
symptom you will notice in an
IBR outbreak This will be fol

Two other virus diseases can
