PUT YOURSELF INTO THE FUTURE!
LET THE SUNSHINE IN WITH...
SOLAIR SYSTEMS
WE'RI INTERESTED
IN ECOLOGY!
With our completely covered lots and a sun
roof with an open peak, rain water does not
enter the bay area and maximum
evaporation of animal liquids is obtained. An
“all-drained” floor system is installed and a
curbed fence line keeps manure in place to be
scraped into a liquid pit or a push-off loading
system. By preventing manure run-off the
surrounding area is not polluted.
Yes, since your urban neighbors and
government fathers are interested in ecology,
we are ready to help you build a system that
will put you ahead on the pollution problem.
And, low moisture levels in Solair Systems
results in less bacteria action and fewer
odors.

.FACTS
FOR
DAIRYMEN
N. Alan Bair
Assistant
County
Agricultural
Agent
An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure is still
true after these many years,
but it may also be true that
an ounce of the wrong
prevention or cure can be
worth a tank of milk or a
valuable animal. Out of
necessity many dairymen
are now doing much of their
own veterinary work.
Hopefully the work you are
doing is under the direct
supervision of your
veterinarian-there is no
room for guessing and
mistakes.
The misuse of antibiotics
is widespread as indicated
by the amount of con
taminated milk the dairies
have to deal with. The loss of
three days milk isn’t the only
economic loss you can incur
by misusing a product.
These losses can take many
forms from condemned
carcasses at slaughter to
breeding problems.

Proper Use of Uterine
Boluses
The routine use of uterine
boluses seems to be gaining
favor among dairymen. No
doubt, they have great value
in the treatment of various
kinds of infections in the
uterus. However, they
should not be used except for
specific reasons and under
the supervision of a
veterinarian.
Harvey Shaffer, Penn
State Dairy Specialist,
reminds us of some recent
research in Mississippi that
showed that neomycin
boluses routinely placed in
the uterus after calving
actually lowered breeding
efficiency. The treated cows
required more services (1.7
vs 1.4) and 12 days longer
(100.5 vs 88.5) to conceive
than the untreated cows.
There is good reason for
this difference. A bolus is
composed largely of a
carrier or filler. The body’s
defense mechanism reacts to
it as with any kind of foreign
material. The result is
frequently a pocket of

“sterile pus" which can
interfere with conception
when the cow is bred.
If a cow is in good con
dition and has no difficulty in
calving, she will probably
get along better without any
kind of treatment. If an
occasional cow has a uterine
infection a month or so after
calving, she should be
treated at that time. If this
becomes a herd problem,
there is likely a reason for it,
such as nutritional
deficiency, dirty maternity
area or venereal disease.
Routine use of uterine
boluses is a poor substitute
for improved feeding and-or
management.
This misuse of the uterine
bolus is a good example of
how not to get ahead by
being your own veterinarian.
Sure, you are going to be
doing some of the things your
vet used to do because he
doesn’t have the time and his
time is expensive. But don’t
forget to ask for his advice
for each situation. Save him
and yourself a lot of
problems.
