Trich, or the more scientific name Trichomoniasis, is a very serious economic problem for cattle producers. Some of the problems that it can cause are a reduced calf crop as well as lower weaning weights. It can cause this because it making your breeding cows infertile and possibly causing a longer breeding season.
But not to worry, all is not lost. This may seem like a pretty devastating disease but there are things you can do to prevent it from showing up. There are steps that you can take in order to prevent Trich from even showing up in the first place. With that being said here are some things for you to consider:
With summer arriving treating pinkeye is an issue many cattle producers will face. As things get drier it means more dust which means an increase in eye irritants.
Treatment protocols are often seen as something used only by feed yards and large stocker operations. People that deal with large numbers of animals at a time.
Spring weather has finally arrived to many parts of the country. The snow (if you got any) has started to melt away and things are starting to grow again.
Anyone involved in cattle production is aware of the danger of internal parasites in cattle. Internal parasites, such as lung worms and coccidia, live in the gastro-intestinal tracts of cattle. They will cause decreased production and in some cases even death.
Pinkeye is a very common as well as a highly contagious disease in cattle. Once it shows up if you do not take proper steps it can quickly affect all of your cattle.
