Because the cow has cough, do not
jump to the conclusion that she is in
the first stages Of tuberculosis. The
chances are that the trouble is due to
too much dust in the grain given, which
causes irritation of the throat. If the
COW is otherwise in healthy condition,
the cough may be generally cured by
keeping the manger or feeding box free
from dust and applying blister on the
throat after clipping the hair from it.
