INTRODUCTION Eimeriosis in cattle is an important enteric protozoan parasitosis causing economic losses and severe clinical disease in calves (daugschies et al., 1998). Unlike most other eimerian species in cattle or in rodent models, the life cycle of E. bovis includes the development of macromeronts (up to 250 µm) within an endothelial host cell (Hammond et al., 1964). This rather long lasting process...

Hello everybody, There is a dairy farm in Turkey. The avarage milk yield of the cows is about 32 lt/day. For 10-15 days, it has seen cecal dilatation and right displaced abomasum very often. As I know either cecal dilatation or displaced abomasum is related wtih particul size of TMR and low forage: concantre ratio in TMR. But the interesting thing is, none of them is wrong. I mean there is 45% of forage on the TMR and the particle size is like to be. And the...

Respiratory disease is the second leading cause of death losses (scours is the first) in un-weaned heifer calves. Respiratory problems have increased by 34 percent in the last 20 years, causing nearly 21 percent of all newborn calf losses (NAHMS 2007). Heifers that survive continue to perform poorly as adult cows. In order to prevent this costly problem, it is important to address both determinant and predisposing causes. PREDISPOSING CAUSES...
