Symposium Focuses On Preventive
UNIVERSITY PARK
(Centre Co.) Why do
vaccinations sometimes
fail to prevent disease in
cattle herds? What happens
when drugs are not used
according to the label
directions? How do pro
ducers decide whal their
herd’s vaccination prog
ram should be?
These and other ques
tions about preventive
medicine in beef cattle
herds will be discussed at
the Eastern Cattlemen’s
Symposium, March 26
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the
Penn State Meats Lab at
University Park.
Held in conjunction with
the Pennsylvania Beef
Expo, the symposium will
bring together veterina
rians, meat scientists, pro
ducers, and regulators to
discuss cattle health issues.
“The discussion will
start with the economics of
a preventive health prog
ram,” said symposium
organizer Dr. John Comer
ford, assistant professor of
dairy and animal science at
Penn State. “From there,
we’ll address a number of
concerns and challenges to
herd health.”
Dr. Merlin Kaeberle,
professor of microbiology
and immunology at the
lowa State College of Vet
erinary Medicine, will dis
cuss the effect of the ani
mal’s environment on vac
cine perfommance and the
reasons vaccines some
times fail to prevent dis
ease. Dr. Dean Elliot of the
Troy Veterinary Clinic will
analyze vaccination prog
rams for dairy-beef calves.
Dr. Kurt Wohlgemuth,
manager of technical ser
vices for Smith, Kline-
Beecham Animal Health,
will discuss vaccination
programs for cow herds
and young calves, focusing
on available products and
how they are best used.
Dr. William Henning,
Penn State assistant profes
sor of animal science, will
explain how producers can
avoid causing carcass dam
age during injections, a
problem that costs the beef
industry millions of dollars
annually.
The implications of not
following the label direc
tions on cattle drugs will be
examined by Dr. Gerald
Guest of the Food and Drug
Administration’s Center
for Veterinary Medicine.
He will discuss the need to
maintain a high level of
integrity in using these
drugs.
The symposium will
conclude with a panel dis
cussion of how veterina
rians and producers can
work together more effi
ciently to prevent disease
in catUe. The discussion
will be followed by a
question-and-answer
period.

Roller Mixer
The Industry Leader
We’ve combined, the proven features and advan
tages of our Mix-All with a commercial grade roller
mill to give you the best portable roller mill feed
maker available today.
A Gehl roller mill produces a coarse feed of
precise particle size with reduced dust and “flour”
in the feed. That
means optimum gain
for your livestock.
Gehl TMR Mixer Feeders Are #1
Nothing can maximize the return on investment in your dairy or beef feeding
operation like a Total Mixed Ration (TMR) feeding system. And nothing makes
TMR work better than a Gehl mixer feeder. Here’s why:
• Better Mixing Action - Unique four-auger design creates a double figure-8
mixing pattern for fast and complete mixing of all feed ingredients.
•• Energy Efficient - Planetary drive system requires less horsepower.
• Built To Last - Patented star couplers absorb shock loads by allowing the
bottom augers to flex, providing long service life.
• Six Sizes - From 150 to 500 cubic feet mixing capacities.
• Three Styles - Trailer type, stationary and truck-mounted units to fit your
operation.
