is not treatable. Affected animals

Pseudomonas Mastitis is anti
biotic resistant It grows in stand
ing water such as drop hoses and
pipes in the milking parlor. It
flourishes in a weak iodine solu
tion, so dairymen should be sure
that the iodine concentration of
their wash water is up to recom
mended levels. The contamination
source must be located and
eliminated.
Johne’s Disease, a diarrheal dis
ease of adult cows, is present in
seven percent of all cull cows in
PA. Symptoms are weight loss and
a drop in production. Many do not
have diarrhea. It spreads from old
er animals to calves. It is hard to
infect an adult cow. Dairymen
should take advantage of the state
testing program for Johne’s to be
sure that any cows they bring into
the herd are Johne’s-free.
One-third of all cows in PA are
infected with Bovine Leukosis
Virus, but few actually become ill
with it. While most infected cows
are normal, five percent or fewer
will show a high white blood cell
count Some of those will get
tumors, which are fatal. There is no
treatment for it and it apparently

has no effect on humans. New
York State has a leukosis testing
program to certify leukosis-free
herds, making it easier to sell
breeding stock out of the country.
Coccidiosis is not a new disease,
but has been causing more trouble
in calves recently. It is an intestinal
protozoa which cause diarrhea and
inhibits growth in calves two
weeks to two months of age. Pre
vention includes cleaning calf
pens, moving hutches, and group
ing calves by age. Drugs effective
against coccidiosis are Deccox,
Amprolium, Rumensin, and
Bovatec.
A newly recognized disease,
Cryptosporidiosis, is a mild diar
rhea that strikes calves two weeks
to two months old. It responds
poorly to treatment and can be
passed to humans. It can be pre
vented with strict sanitation of
buckets, pens and hutches.
New vaccines available include
Coli, Rota-Corona and Respirat
ory for calves, and BRSV, Pink
eye, and various combination vac
cines. “There will be more vacci-
r v ' t *1
nation of pregnant cows to protect
the calf,” Hutchinson said. The
calf must get the dam’s colostrum
for the vaccination to be effective.
Hutchinson recommends that
all herds be vaccinated for Bang’s,
Lepto, BRSV, IPR, PI3 and BVD.
Some herds should have Coli (if
there is a problem with scours),
Rota-Corona, Pinkeye (helpful for
pastured heifers), Haemophilus,
Pasteurella (shipping fever), and
Clostridia.
New tests on the market include
tests for progesterone, E-Coli, and
Johne’s.
The progesterone test is used to
check for non-pregnancy (it is not
as accurate for pregnancy), heat
detection, timing of service, and
for problem breeders. It is fairly
expensive per cow and takes time.
The E-coli test is a quick, on
farm test for calf scours.
The blood test for Johne’s dis
ease takes only a day but does not
work 100 percent of the time. It
picks up on sick cows well.

The Meat Board is a coalition of
livestock and meat industry inter
ests that have conducted research,
education and product marketing
for meat thru industry checkoff
since 1922.
The Beef Industry Council, a
division of the Meat Board and
Federation of 41 state beef coun
cils, works to build consumer
demand for beef and veal products.
Using funds generated by the
dollar per head check-off for beef,
dairy and veal animals beginning
October 1, 1986, Beef Industry
Council produces TV, radio and
print advertising. “Beef: Real
Food for Real People” theme of the
successful campaign scored well
with consumers last season and is
being used again.
More recently “Veal. No Com
parison” theme was introduced
and is proving to be effective.

The objective is to make beef and
veal fashionable again and to show
they fit well into the modem day
diet of health-conscious consum
ers. Positive results are beginning
to show and I believe this approach
is the right one.”
“We are committed to make
beef and veal production profitable
once again for the producer. As in
several other veal producing
states, Pennsylvania veal growers
are now represented, thru our state
beef council, on this national
board,” he added.
The Pennsylvania Beef Council
works closely with the Beef Indus
try Council by distributing beef
and veal educational and promo
tional literature, recipes, and video
tapes, produced by the Beef Indus
try Council, to supermarkets, food
shows, fairs and other events.
