Q

Details to attend to when managing high-risk cattle

list the key biocontainment principles:

A
  1. understanding the business models of operations– unlike other segments of the cattle industry, stocker operations have developed diverse and adaptable business models, if not practical for operation, biocontainment efforts will not be adopted
  2. udnerstanding current disease status of existing cattle population– although many feeder cattle operations operate with ltd professional veterinary input, have more insight into pathogen dynamics over time and are best position to use impactful biocontainment interventions
  3. effect of pen size on disease dynamics– as pen size increases, the risk & severity of epidemic disease increases. Mitigating dz risk by reducing pen size can be powerful mgmt techique
  4. cattle flow– placement of immunologically naive cattle in pens near or adjacent to cattle in teh peak of a BRD epidemic provides opportunity for dz propagation & pathogen amplification. Strategically separating naive & susceptible populations from epidemic & endemic populations in the foundation of biocontainment efforts
  5. Mitigating pathogen spread through use of common facilities such as hospital & treatment recovery pens

Q

Details to attend to when managing high-risk cattle

What are the key components to biocontainment in arrival barns as follows?

A
  1. ensure adequate pens & space are available to keep purchase cohorts together, minimizing teh need to resort cattle after receiving
  2. avoid carry-over population. Processed calves that remain in the arrival facility as new groups of calves arrive, between purchases groups. Do not keep resident populations in the arrival barn. Incubation times can be relatively short for many respiratory pathogens. All-in/all-out mgmt methods minimize the cross- contamination of pathogens between groups over time

Q

Details to attend to when managing high-risk cattle

Because many high -risk calves never previously consumed water from a tank or automatic waterer, what are way to manage watering equipment that takes up advantage of natural cattle behavior:

A

-place the waterer on the fence line, so calves are more likely to find it as they explore their pen

-allow enough waterer space, so that multiple calves can drink simultaneously

-allow water to recirculate or overflow in a way that produces the sounds of running water
