CALF & YOUNGSTOCK Osmofit

74106

It is estimated that diarrhoea in calves costs approximately £58 for every animal affected. A proactive on-farm protocol, focused on treatment and recovery should be a key part of rearing calves.

Proactive application of a proven electrolyte product should be a key part of a calf rearing protocol.

Key points when treating calves: - Continue to feed high quality milk/replacer - Provide ad-lib access to water - Feed electrolytes between milk feeds Do not mix electrolytes with milk/replacer.

The best product requires the best advice – OsmoFit is fully supported by Wynnstay’s Calf & Youngstock Team, who can offer advice on all aspects of calf rearing.

Don’t hesitate to contact the team for advice tailored to your system and your calves.

ANIMAL HEALTH Control of Sheep Scab What is sheep scab?

Sheep scab is an allergic dermatitis which is caused by the mite Psoroptes ovis. It is a highly contagious condition as the mites live and feed on the skin and so they are easily spread onto in contact sheep.

What causes the clinical signs of scab?

Clinical signs such as scratching and rubbing are caused by an allergic response to the saliva and faeces of mites.

This is important to note as clinical signs may persist after successful treatment as the saliva and faeces can continue to cause irritation even after the mites have been killed.

Is a diagnosis important?

Chewing lice infestation has similar clinical signs to sheep scab but different treatments may be required so a definitive diagnosis is vital before treatment begins. This can be done either with a skin scape or a blood test.

How do you prevent sheep scab?

• Biosecurity: Good biosecurity practices will help to reduce the risk of scab by preventing it getting on farm • Quarantine: Treat sheep for scab on arrival at farm or leave in isolation for 2 weeks and use the blood test • Clean and disinfect all equipment and trailers after use • Avoid contact with infested sheep. Ensure all visitors to farm (shearers, contractors, etc.) disinfect their protective clothing • Fencing: good quality fencing will help to prevent contact with neighbouring flocks Treatment and Control Once scab is confirmed, ALL animals should be treated including any sheep that may have been in contact (including from neighbouring farms). Treatment options are an ML injection or plunge dipping. It is important to note that organophosphate dips are only authorised for use as plunge dips. Use of organophosphate dips via showers and jetters is not authorised and not fully effective against scab, which could lead to resistance.

Scab mites do not feed every day and can survive for 17 days off host. If a non-persistent treatment is used then sheep need to move to a clean pasture. ML injectables are also wormers so try to avoid dose and move strategies that could lead to increased worm resistance.

ANIMAL HEALTH

It is very important that the correct dose is used when treating for scab as underdosing can speed up the spread of resistance.

ANIMAL HEALTH Start Planning Your Parasite Control For Housing Dairy Animals Now Now is the time to consider parasite control for animals that will be housed over the winter period.

In conjunction with your RAMA or vet, you need to work out what parasites you need to treat, which products to use, and when to administer them.

The parasite risk changes each year and spring 2021 has seen a cooler start lead into a warm summer interspersed with very wet periods. This offers favourable but perhaps somewhat unpredictable environmental conditions for worm and fluke cycles meaning this autumn and winter parasite risks are likely to be significant for parts of the UK. More specific detailed information is available from the NADIS. The economic impact of worm and liver fluke infections can be detrimental, even modest parasite burdens can result in significant reductions in expected cattle performance. From a recent Scottish study, abattoir data showed that “when compared with animals with no liver fluke burden, animals with 1 to 10 parasites take on average 31 days longer to reach slaughter weight, while animals with more than 10 F. hepatica flukes in their liver at slaughter take 77 days longer to finish.” Strategic anthelmintic treatment can also result in a positive milk yield response, estimated at 0.35kg-0.63kg/cow per day for the duration of lactation.

Douglas Palmer BVMS MRCVS, Large Animal Veterinary Advisor at Norbrook® Laboratories, advises that “it is very important to work with your RAMA or vet to establish a suitable anthelmintic plan that fits the requirements of your farm. Using the correct product for the right parasites is vital to controlling parasitic disease. This includes knowledge of the potential housing worm burden as well as understanding the risk of which liver fluke stages are present will dictate which products are most suitable.”

Norbrook now offer a range of parasite treatment options in cattle including wormers and a combination fluke and wormer as well as a newly launched flukicide only product.

Eprizero Pour On: contains Eprinomectin, a macrocyclic lactone wormer which has persistency of 28 days against the most economically damaging worms affecting cattle, namely Ostertagia ostertagi (gutworm) and Dictyocaulus viviparous (lungworm). It has a Zero milk and 10 day meat withdrawal period making it a good choice for treating milking cows.

Solantel Pour On: is a NEW product launching in autumn 2021. It is a flukicide only product containing closantel. This kills late immature and adult fluke including any triclabendazole resistant fluke. It is a suitable fluke treatment in first season grazed heifers after housing. When given 7 weeks after housing farmers can be sure that all fluke burdens will be cleared. In second season grazed dairy heifers, Solantel Pour-On can be used in all non-pregnant heifers and those still in the first half of pregnancy. Heifers in the second half of pregnancy should not be treated with Solantel Pour-On. This has a 63 day meat withdrawal period.
