Q

What is the main significance of viral disease in cattle

Abrupt weaning, overcrowding and interaction with cows from other locations, traveling through rough conditions

34
Q

When would shipping fever complex occur

A

Peak incidence occurs 7-14 days after arrival at feedlot

35
Q

What are clinical signs of shipping fever

A

Stand off by themselves, depressed, decreased appetite, increased resp rate, fever, ocular and nasal discharge, moist cough, dyspnea and death in advanced cases

36
Q

What main 3 agents causes shipping fever

A

Manheimia hemolytica
Pasturella multocida
Histophilus somni

37
Q

What serotype of M. Haemolytica is most commonly isolated in shipping fever

A

Serotype A1

Growth of serotype occurs in nasopharynx after stress

38
Q

Histophilus somni- where is it normally located?

What is it a significant cause of in feedlots?

What is different about this vs M. Haemolytica

A

Normal inhabitant of nasopharynx
Significant cause of pneumonia in feedlots
Can cause bacteriemia and involve other organ systems

39
Q

How to diagnose shipping fever

A

Hematology
Imaging
Transtracheal wash
Necropsy

40
Q

What drugs do you have to avoid when treating shipping fever in feedlots

A

Aminoglycosides (gentamicin, amikacin, kanamycin)

Chloramphenicol

Excessive doses

41
Q

How to treat shipping fever

A

Approved antibiotics
Nsaids (flunixin)
NO steroids
Supportive therapy

42
Q

How to prevent shipping fever

A
  • Preconditioning- wean, vaccinate, castrate and all those other things 3 weeks before shipping
  • Avoid auction yards and overcrowding
  • Vaccination on arrival at feedlot if not before
  • Antimicrobial therapy on arrival at feedlot (metaphylaxis)
43
Q

What vaccines should you give to prevent shipping fever

A

Vaccinate against viral agents

H. Somni vx

M. Haemolytica vx

44
Q

What is vena caval thrombosis and metastatic pneumonia

A

Abscessation of lungs caused by septic thromboembolism
