6 —Lancaster Farming. Saturday. March 24. 1973 Vets Meet At Quentin The Veterinary Nutrition Forum met at the Quentin Riding Club, Quentin, Pa. with 25 members present. Dr. Len R Harrison, of the Bureau of Animal Industries Diagnostic Laboratory, discussed "Calf Problems, with Particular Emphasis on Salmonellosis’’. In 1972, over 100 cases of calf Salmonellosis were reported and all were confirmed by isolating the pathogenic agent. Some 70 percent of the isolates were Salmonella tiphimurium. This organism is übiquitous and stubborn and it can persist in the environment for long periods of time It was isolated from nearly all calves with peracute “sudden death” disease. These cases usually do not respond to com mon antibiotics and other chemotherapeutic agents. From 20 to 40 percent mortality among the calves is not uncommon. Salmonellosis at times is ac companied by respiratory complications (pneumoenteritis) with more severe mortalities. Dr Harrison said that a number of recoveries were noted with application of ampicillm but the drug of choice is gentamycin The penicillins, streptomycins, sulfonamides and tetracyclines were invariably ineffective. The activity of mtrofurans was found to be erratic and it was the speaker’s opinion that in very young calves these agents may be toxic with severe adverse side effects A number of calves died showing respiratory phenomena. These calves had a non productive cough, dyspnoea, they were breathing with open mouth At necropsy, pneumonia lessions were observed and Mycoplasma and Pasteurella were isolated from primary cultures. The drug of choice in Dr Harrison’s ex perience was tetracycline Starvation is another major calf killer Calves should be properly fed, especially during the first few days of their existence The March meeting will be held Special Special Special The only low-priced chain saw with high-priced features!
