description: Johne's disease (paratuberculosis) is a chronic, granulomatous infection of the intestinal tract of ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP). There is no approved treatment, no known way to eliminate the infection once established, nor is there an effective vaccine for the disease. Johne's disease (JD) has emerged as an important disease of cattle due to the economic impact and the potential link to human Crohn's disease. The recently introduced herd Risk Assessment (RA) and Herd Management Plan (HMP) developed by the National Johne's Working Group (NJWG) have been incorporated into the national program standards by USDA, APHIS. Increased state and federal funding for Johne's disease has increased the focus on ways to control the condition. Methods to control the spread and to reduce within herd transmission of Johne's disease (JD) are being adopted by both dairy and beef herds in many states through implementation of the national Johne's disease program. Implementation of best management practices (BMP) following a herd risk assessment (RA) designed to reduce the risk of transmission of JD remains the focal point of the national effort to reduce the prevalence of JD in cattle herds today. Although a vaccine for JD is available in many states, its use is closely regulated by individual state veterinarians and usage by the profession remains less than 2,000 herds nationally. Test and culling of culture-positive cattle seems a low priority if the infected animals are profitable. Reduction of the herd bioburden of MAP seems a lower priority for many producers. Brumbaugh et al1 demonstrated a reduction in the number of colony forming units (cfu) of MAP from the livers of experimentally MAP-infected mice treated with monensin compared to non-treated controls. More recently he showed monensin reduced the severity of histological lesions in cattle with clinical signs of Johne's disease, including weight loss and diarrhea.2 Initial infection with MAP is generally considered to occur in the neonatal calves. Our laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania, New Bolton Center has successfully induced experimental MAP infection in neonatal calves via oral gavage of MAP on two consecutive days.4 The current experiment was designed to assess the efficacy of monensina to reduce pass-through fecal shedding and to reduce tissue bacterial load (bioburden) of MAP in calves.

Year: 2005

description: Traditionally, fecal cultures were either positive or negative for growth of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis (MAP). Nearly all culture-positive cattle were judged to be infected, shedding MAP, thus a threat to spread the disease to susceptible cattle and were culled from the herd as quickly as possible. Over time it was recognized that differences in MAP shedding existed among culture-positive cattle. Cattle were classified as low, moderate or high shedders based on the visible colonies of MAP on the surface of solid media, typically Herrold's egg yolk media (HEYM). Rarely did authors provide the estimated MAP colony forming units (cfu) per gram of manure. Additionally, culture methods were not standardized among diagnostic laboratories in the US, which made it difficult to compare results from one laboratory to another. Laboratories rarely used internal quality control fecal samples. As the infection and disease progressed, the intensity of fecal shedding of MAP increased, culminating in clinical disease which was associated with the greatest numbers of MAP present in manure. Since cattle with clinical signs lose weight and have decreased milk production causing them to be unprofitable, they are soon culled from the herd. If not culled from the herd, they would continue to lose weight and become emaciated with muscle weakness, leading to recumbency requiring euthanasia. The fewest colonies reported is one colony on one of four tubes ofHEYM, which translates into approximately six cfu/gram of feces, assuming the original sample was two grams; 5 ml was transferred from the fecal water tube to the second decontamination tube with HPC. That centrifugation technique was used and the pellet was re-suspended in 1 ml of antibiotic brew, with 200 ul of the re-suspended pellet inoculated onto each of four tubes of HEYM, all with mycobactin J. Low shedders typically had less than 10 colonies on the four tubes ofHEYM. Moderate shedders ranged from 11 to approximately 70 colonies of MAP, while high shedders had more than 70 colonies on any of the four tubes. Calculated on MAP cfu per gram of feces this would be up to 60 cfu for low shedders, 61 to 300 cfu per gram for moderate shedders and more than 300 cfu per gram for heavy shedders. Over the past five years most laboratories in the US report the number of visible MAP colonies on each tube of HEYM, but rarely enumerate above 50 to 70 colonies per tube. Accounting for sample preparation, 50 colonies on each of four tubes represents an estimated 1,050 colony forming units of MAP per gram of manure. The objective of this study was to determine the range of MAP cfu/gram of manure in cattle classified as heavy shedders.

description: Uterine health disorders are common in dairy cows and result in reproductive inefficiency and economic loss in dairy herds. Specific uterine bacteria associated with some uterine health disorders have been described. However, information regarding the relationship between calf birth weight and uterine bacteria is lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate relationships between uterine bacterial isolates during the first four weeks after calving, uterine health disorders (metritis, retained placenta [RP], clinical and subclinical endometritis), fever and calf birth weight. The impact of uterine health disorders on reproductive performance was also evaluated.

description: Ceftiofur is a late-generation, injectable cephalosporin developed solely for veterinary therapeutic use. During the 12 years of field use, surveys suggest that the incidence of veterinary and food-borne pathogens with decreased susceptibility to ceftiofur is still very low. This paper assesses the microbiological safety of ceftiofur with respect to current susceptibility patterns of pathogens, and inherent chemical and biological factors that aid in maintaining its effectiveness.

description: Neospora caninum, the causative agent of neosporosis, was recognized in 1991 as a major cause of abortion in dairy cattle in California. The first isolation of Neospora caninum from bovine aborted fetuses and experimental reproduction of neosporosis in cattle was reported in 1993. Today, neosporosis is described more commonly in dairy cattle, but also has been identified in beef breeds. Infections with Neospora, which can be acquired by cattle via congenital or horizontal transmission, have been associated with a 3-fold increase of abortion for herds with endemic abortions. For herds with epidemic abortion, the increased abortion risk can be as high as 40-fold, indicating a significant economic impact of neosporosis in affected herds. A research project was initiated to evaluate feasible control measures aimed at reduction or elimination of abortions caused by Neospora caninum.

description: Diarrhea is the most important disease in neonatal dairy and beef calves. Significant economic loss occurs due to increased morbidity and mortality, treatment costs and reduced growth rates. Rotaviruses usually cause diarrhea during the first three weeks of life. Clinical signs can be quite variable and are similar to those caused by other neonatal bovine enteropathogens such as corona virus and Eschericia coli. Diagnosis of rotavirus in calves is based on the identification of viral particles, antigens or nucleic acids in feces. Tests include direct or immune electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, antigen capture enzyme- linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA), latex agglutination and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). All of these tests are useful for diagnosing rotavirus infections, but in general are relegated to use by diagnostic laboratories. Development of an on-site diagnostic assay for bovine rota virus would be a useful tool for veterinarians and cattle producers in making management decisions regarding neonatal bovine diarrhea. The ImmunoCardSTAT Rotavirus (ICS-RV) Assay (Meridian Diagnostics, Cincinnati, OH) is a patient-side assay designed to detect group A rotavirus in humans. This assay is based upon rapid immunomigration (RIM) technology. This technology allows for packaging of all reagents into a single-step assay that can then be used patient-side (similar to a "home pregnancy test"). The objective of this study was to evaluate the ICS-RV assay's usefulness as an on-site diagnostic test for bovine rotavirus.

description: Several studies have evaluated the production effects of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) infection with various outcomes. Some studies have reported up to an 18% reduction in milk production for fecal-culture-positive cows compared to fecal-culture-negative cows. A4% reduction in milk production was observed in serum-ELISA-positive cows compared to test-negative cows in one study, while other studies have reported no differences between test-negative and test-positive cows. Most of these studies were restricted to a small region of the US and a relatively small number of operations.

description: An important component of the Voluntary Bovine Johne's Disease Control Program is to determine herd infection status for Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP). To help prevent the transmission of MAP, dairy and beef herds providing replacement cattle should know their infection status. Herds acquiring cattle should be fairly confident that the source herd is at low risk for MAP infection. The current requirements for a herd to be considered Level 1 of the test-negative component requires ELISA testing 30 animals followed by fecal culture confirmation of ELISA-positive cattle. Since the ELISA is approximately 25-50% sensitive, many infected herds are classified as low risk and enter Level 1 based on this testing scheme.

description: Intraluminal intestinal hemorrhage syndrome (IIHS) is a relatively recently recognized disease in adult dairy cows which results in obstruction of the jejunum with blood clots and sloughing of the mucosal surface of the jejunum. Many of the affected cows die acutely despite medical and/or surgical treatment. Clostridium perfringens Type A is suspected to be involved in development of this disease, as it is commonly cultured from the intestinal contents of affected cows. The objective of this study was to determine if the disease could be reproduced by intraluminal inoculation of a pure culture into the abomasum or the jejunum of normal cows fed high-energy rations.

description: Postpartum as well as post-service anestrus is a major cause of a prolonged interval between calving and conception. Ovulation synchronization/timed artificial insemination (OVS/TAI) is known to be effective to increase a submission rate after voluntary waiting period without heat detection. However, conception rates after OVS/TAI vary greatly among different herds. Factors contributing to the variation need to be clarified to improve the conception rate after OVS/TAI. Occurrence of estrus prior to the day of timed insemination is another problem with this protocol. Objectives of this study are to show the effect of OVS/TAI for the treatment of postpartum or post-service anestrus, describe effects of some factors on the conception rate and to investigate the occurrence of estrus before the day of TAI.

Despite limited availability and acceptability of donor hearts, the number of heart transplantations remains on a stable level with improved survival and quality of life. Observation: As treatment options for CHD continue to improve and the chances of survival increase, more adult CHD patients are listed for transplantation. This review focuses on the clinical challenges and modified techniques of pediatric heart transplantations. Conclusion: Not only knowledge of the exact anatomy, but above all careful planning, interdisciplinary cooperation and surgical experience are prerequisites for surgical success.

Currently, these cephalosporin (penicillin-family) products are the only two that can be used with no milk-discard period. Since 1991, PAH has received about 50 complaints each year where milk adulteration incidents allegedly resulted following proper (labeled) use of these products. To resolve these complaints, we developed a system to determine what actually caused these adulterations.

description: Lameness has been recognized as a frequently occurring disease syndrome in dairy cattle. The dimensions of the problem are immense. Consider that, according to Greenough and Vermunt,4 a herd should be considered a "problem herd" when the yearly incidence has surpassed 10%-while multiple studies show yearly incidences between 14% and 25% not to be uncommon.1,2,3,5 Not only is lameness a major animal welfare concern; its likely impact on productivity and development of concurrent diseases makes it an important economic factor. The results presented here propose to illuminate the correlation between lameness and other diseases in two large herds in New York state.

description: To preserve and improve the perception that the dairy industry has among consumers, there is a need to be able to identify and act upon animal welfare concerns. Lameness is the dairy industry's most visible animal welfare concern. Unfortunately, dairy producers often underestimate the level of lameness on their farm. Bovine practitioners need to take a leadership role in assisting the dairy industry in monitoring and reducing lameness. To meet this challenge, accurate methods to diagnose lameness early is needed. A variety of locomotion scoring systems are used to assess lameness. However, few of these systems have correlated the score assigned to a cow with the lesion present in the claw. The objective of this project was to evaluate the association between locomotion scoring and lesions found at the time of foot trimming.

To assist bovine practitioners in making recommendations that reduce or prevent lameness, there is a need for knowledge about the prevalence of lameness and a more complete understanding of the factors that contribute to lameness in different North American management systems. The objective of this project was to determine the effect of selected risk factors on the prevalence of infectious and non-infectious claw lesions on dairy farms in Ontario.

description: Retention of fetal membranes occurs after 5 to 15% of calvings. One of the most common treatments is the manual removal of the retained membranes and a local antibiotic treatment. An additional systemic therapy with antibiotic drugs is recommended for cows with a body temperature ~39.5°C. (103.1 °F). However, efficiency of manual removal and local antibiotic treatment is under discussion. The objective of this study was to compare this common treatment of retained fetal membranes to a protocol without manual removal or local intrauterine administration of antiobiotics, but use of ceftiofur as a systemic antibiotic treatment in case of elevated temperature.

description: There is an increasing demand for organic produce worldwide. In the United Kingdom, the organic food sector shows a growth in retail sale values of approximately 40% per year. Currently, there are about 150 organic dairy farms, with organic milk production predicted to reach 150 million litres in 2003.2 Mastitis affects organically managed cattle to the same degree as conventionally farmed cows, and has been identified as a major concern in organic dairy herds.1 Use of antibiotics for the treatment of sick animals is allowed under organic regulations, but milk and meat withholding periods are extended. In addition, the routine or continued use of antibiotics is prohibited. Homoeopathy was found to be the main alternative to antibiotics for mastitis treatment in the Hovi and Roderick1 study. However, existing data on the efficacy of alternative therapies is deficient. The current study at Cambridge University aims to establish the efficacy of a commonly used homoeopathic remedy for the treatment of clinical mastitis by comparing it with intramammary antibiotic therapy.

description: The apicomplexan protozoan parasite Neospora caninum is one of the most frequently diagnosed causes of bovine abortion. Transmission of the parasite occurs vertically from cow to calf with great efficiency, sustaining the infection within cattle herds for many generations. The herd-level prevalence of N. caninum on PEI is estimated to be 20.3%. This is relatively high compared to other Canadian provinces and research is needed to aid in the control of this infection on dairy farms. Serology is the only method available to diagnose N. caninum infection in live animals, but herd surveillance, using serology, is expensive and time consuming, especially in large dairy herds. The use of milk as a diagnostic tool could be very beneficial to the dairy industry, as it would allow for a fast and inexpensive way to test herds for N. caninum exposure. Furthermore, because the majority of dairy herds in PEI collect milk samples monthly (DHI; Dairy Herd Improvement), Neospora surveillance using milk would result in less stress on the lactating cow, and no special visits would be required to collect samples.

description: It has been suggested that an underlying mechanism in the development of bovine ovarian cysts involves a hypothalamic lesion which causes follicular estrogen to be ineffective in inducing a GnRH/LH surge at the time of estrus. This lesion involves the estrogen receptor alpha (ERa). Furthermore, it has been speculated that treatment with progesterone may induce the ERa in the mediobasal hypothalamus which will foster a GnRH/LH surge in response to follicular estrogen. Collectively, this information suggests that therapeutic strategies for bovine ovarian cysts could involve either the use of GnRH or exogenous progesterone. An intra vaginal progesterone insert (EAZI-BREED™ CIDR®) has been approved for use in lactating dairy cows. The use of a CIDR to synchronize estrus detection is relatively simple and less labor intensive than the OvSynch protocol. Therefore, it could be a more acceptable treatment for ovarian cysts in lactating dairy cows. However, there is no information available concerning the comparative efficacy of these two treatment strategies. The hypothesis of this study was that lactating dairy cows with ovarian cysts treated with exogenous progesterone, a luteolytic dose of PGF2a, and inseminated at an induced-estrus, will have a higher pregnancy rate compared to cows with ovarian cysts subjected to the OvSynch protocol. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of these two protocols.

description: Endometritis is a localized inflammation and/or infection of the uterus characterized by sub-involution of the uterus, and associated with chronic bacterial uterine infection and purulent uterine discharge. Diagnosis and treatment of endometritis are a source of controversy, fueled by a lack of large-scale clinical trials with an objective case definition and economically meaningful outcomes. The objective of this study was to compare the effect on reproductive performance of two common approaches to the treatment of endometritis.

description: Serum mineral concentrations are very dynamic around the time of calving as homeostatic mechanisms are altered to facilitate transition into lactation or mineral is lost to colostrum formation. If homeostatic control or reserve mobilization are unable to maintain normal physiologic mineral concentrations, a variety of periparturient metabolic diseases may occur. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship of serum mineral concentration around the time of calving to animal health status and specific disease conditions.

Year: 2005

description: Use of metabolic profiles for evaluating herd nutritional or health status has not been widely accepted in the United States. Costs associated with metabolic profiling have been a primary deterrent, as well as interpretation. In a traditional profile protocol eight to 12 individuals are sampled within a herd or animal group for evaluation. Profile results are then interpreted as a mean value or percent of individuals deviating from some defined values. Use of pooled samples was evaluated as a method to collect usable information on herd metabolic status without the high cost of individual sampling. Objectives of this study were to determine if blood metabolite concentrations from pooled serum samples were different from arithmetic mean results of individual samples, and to develop preliminary guidelines for interpretation of pooled samples.

description: Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) play an important role as a milk animals in the Indian national economy. India has nearly 57% of the world's buffaloes which contribute 56% of the total milk produced in India, i.e., 86 million tons per annum (FAO 2004). Economic rearing of replacement stock is a prerequisite for successful dairy farming. Buffalo traditionally are considered slow-growing animals, a trait which has a direct effect on early maturity and age of first calving. Low growth rate in young buffalo calves is by far the most important factor contributing to late maturity. The most efficient system of calf-rearing is one that gives higher body weight gain and low cost of feeding. Any management package that can induce early maturity without any detrimental effect on subsequent health of the calf will have a profound economic contribution.

description: A dairy herd performance monitoring/bench-marking system was developed with the objective to serve dual roles. First, as a central database of basic herd performance parameters, the program serves as a benchmarking system to allow comparison of one herd against a set of other herds, as defined by the user. Second, as a repository of performance data, the program serves as a performance monitoring tool for dairy managers and/or their consultants, veterinarians and advisers. Herd performance can be observed as recent trend analyses, or performance comparisons to previous time periods. Periodic summaries are also made available on a quarterly or as-needed basis. Emphasis was placed on minimizing lag time in parameters selected for monitoring.
