Young calves face many challenges as they grow towards adulthood. A young calf can look good during the morning feeding, not look well at noon, and be dead before the end of the day. What is the most common reason for such sudden death? More than likely, Clostridial bacteria found a favorable growth environment in the calf's gut, and potent toxins produced by the bacterial growth killed the calf. So what can we do about this problem? What do we look for to make management decisions...

The dairy giant does not know which strain of salmonella has been found at the site and it will be at least two weeks before more tests clear the concentrate factory to resume production.
It will also take that long for...

Spring is the busiest time for Arkansas' 33,000 beef cattle producers. The majority of calves are born in the spring, which means cattle producers should gather the cow herd to vaccinate the calves. The most important disease to vaccinate calves against is blackleg. Blackleg, which can cause sudden death, affects cattle worldwide. Blackleg usually doesn't occur until summer, but calves should be vaccinated in the spring to protect them when summer arrives. Blackleg may be more prevalent on...
