BVDV: Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus
Transmission can occur through several routes: direct contact from animal to animal, transplacental to the fetus, contact with aborted fetuses/ placentas, indirect contact from blood-feeding flies, or reused needles and OB sleeves. Persistently infected calves serve as a major source of infection in a herd but are often clinically normal but can cause outbreaks of infection if mixed with susceptible naive cattle. BVDV can cause subclinical infection or bovine viral diarrhea and mucosal disease. BVDV causes immunosuppression that can lead to secondary bacterial infection, repeat breeding problems, abortion, fetal mummification, congenital defects, or can cause a persistent infection. Animals with BVDV are depressed, febrile, have profuse watery diarrhea (sometimes bloody) oral ulcerations, mucopurulent nasal discharge, lameness, and death.
IBR: Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (Red Nose)
IBR is caused by Bovine herpes virus 1. The virus causes an acute and highly contagious disease and predisposes cattle to secondary bacterial pneumonia. Transmission is primarily airborne or contact with nasal or genital secretions or indirectly through people and equipment. Once infected, the animal is infected for life and establishes latency in the nervous system and it can become reactivated when the animal is stressed. Clinical signs include: fever, depression, loss of appetite, reddening of the mucosal membranes, nasal discharge, conjunctivitis, and decrease in milk production. It can also cause abortions, especially in the third trimester.
PI3: Bovine ParInfluenza virus 3
Transmission direct contact or airborne; symptoms include fever, cough, nasal
discharge, and increased respiratory rate. Associated with respiratory tract disease in cattle, sheep, and goats. Uncomplicated PIV-3 infections result in subclinical to mild signs. Virus damages the pulmonary mucociliary apparatus. Infection with PIV3 predisposes to secondary infections by other viruses and bacterial infections.
BRSV: Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus
BRSV is transmitted by aerosol and direct contact with infected nasal secretions and possibly indirectly by people and equipment. BRSV causes rhinitis, tracheitis, bronchitis and interstitial pneumonia. The severity of diseases varies from sub-clinical to severe. Primary infection with BRSV is usually manifested as a sudden outbreak of acute respiratory disease. BRSV infection predisposes cattle to bacterial pneumonia.
Leptospirosis
Transmission by exposure of nasal, oral, ocular, vaginal mucosa, abraded skin to infected urine, milk, fetal fluids, trans-placental, venereal. Causes abortions at any time period, it can also present as weak calves, and blood tinged milk in lactating cows. This disease is transmissible to humans!
Campylobacter also known as Vibrio
Campylobacter fetus ss venerealis is the chief cause of infertility in cattle in the US. Infection introduced from infected bulls during breeding or via AI. Causes infertility, early embryonic death, and abortions. This disease is transmissible to humans!
CLOSTRIDIAL DISEASES
Including but not limited to: Tetanus, Botulism, Blackleg (BL), clostridial myositis, Sudden death syndrome, Infectious necrotic hepatitis, bacillary hemoglobinuria, hemorrhagic bowel syndrome, abomasal ulceration, neonatal enterotoxemia, feedlot enterotoxemia.
Mannhemia haemolytica
Bacteria associated with Bovine respiratory disease complex. Naturally occuring disease is commonly preceded by infection with a viral agent. Most common bacterial isolate from feedlot cattle with fatal fibrinous bronchopneumonia.
