Steer Bloating
Steer Bloating
By Kylie Aguilar

What is Bloating
A form of indigestion marked by excessive accumulation of gas in the rumen. Distension of the left side of animal as the primary sign.

Causes

  • The amount of intake of feed. (grasses, hay, etc.)
  • Rate of digestion of cattle. (Depending on their digestive system)
  • An inherited tendency for bloating. (could be brought down from cattle ancestry)

How to Fix
Cattle Trocar

  • Last Rib
  • Tips of transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae
  • Paralumbar fossa
  • Cord of the flank

Sum it all
Immediately after cattle consume a meal, the digestive process creates gases in the rumen. Most of the gases are eliminated by eructation (belching). Any interruption of this normal gas accumulation or bloat. In more severe bloat, the cattle's rumen is swollen (especially on the left side), it urinates and defecates frequently, bellows and staggers. If the condition continues death is likely caused by suffocation, when swollen rumen pushes against the diaphragm and prevents inhalation. In a few cases a trochar and cannula punched through the side into the rumen will relieve gassy bloat when stomach tube has not worked.

Ringworm in Cattle
Ringworm in Cattle
  • Preventative Care:
    • Keeping your pen and area clean
    • Washing twice a week
    • Cleaning supplies
  • How do they get it?
    Ringworm is one of the most common skin diseases in cattle that can be caused by rain, rapid growth, and infection of the hair.
  • Symptoms
    • Head and neck have dry patches that are 3cm
    • Skin is moist and red
    • May look dry, scaly, and grey
  • Treatment
    • Anti-fungal products such as MTG, anti-fungal shampoo, sprays, and cream
    • One of the most common ways to treat ringworm properly is to scrape the patches until it bleeds, clean it up with a rag, spray with Anti-fungal foot spray, then apply toothpaste onto the patches of ringworm and repeat every morning and afternoon everyday. Once the ringworm has disappeared you then apply MTG which will help the hair grow back.
