Goals Discuss cow/calf herd health programs Consider disease and parasite control, BQA, animal well being Use guidelines as outline for creating your own herd health program Focus on Prevention

Why ? = The Bottom Line ! $$$$$ Maximizing net return to business unit

Herd Health Programs NOT One Size Fits All Programs MUST be customized Housing Confinement Semi Confinement Pasture Biosecurity programs in place Climate/weather conditions Facilities, manpower *Work closely with your veterinarian

Beef Cow/Calf Herd Simplified Goals Convert forage to lbs of beef deliver a live calf AND raise it Protect the calf to weaning or next phase of production

Production Cycle plan Organize herd health –various methods Production cycle example in this PowerPoint Time of year General guidelines and recommendations Customize these to fit needs and objectives of herd Accurate Records Measure goals Measure financial return

Pre Calving Quality frozen colostrum or colostrum replacement Evaluate facilities & environment Equipment - clean, sterile - proper function Review protocol SOP Update record system Manage BCS cows Quality frozen colostrum or colostrum replacement Scours vaccine

Calf Born Individually identify (if possible) Score birth Assure adequate colostrum Record birth Dip navels Castrate Dehorn (complete) Tetanus Weigh calves

(location & season dependent) Branding time 2 to 4 months Individually identify (if not already performed) Brand and/or ear tag Castrate Dehorn (complete) Clostridial (Blackleg) 7- or 8-way (location dependent) Parasite control program (location & season dependent) Brucellosis (Bangs) heifers – (marketing decision) (4 to 12 months of age) Viral respiratory diseases Leptospirosis Pinkeye Tetanus

Weaning 5 to 9 months Clostridial: 7 / 8 way (location dependent) 4 / 5 way viral respiratory diseases (IBR, BVDV, PI3, BRSV) Leptospirosis Parasite control program (location & season dependent) Weigh and BCS calves BCS and preg check cows-evaluate culling criteria Brucellosis (Bangs) heifers – (marketing decision) (4 to 12 months) OQBN Programs check requirements Pinkeye

Replacement heifers 13 - 16 months Monitor growth 4/5 way viral respiratory diseases (IBR, BVDV, PI3V, BRSV) Leptospirosis Clostridial : 7 / 8 way (location dependent) Parasite control program (location & season dependent) Individual ID Vibriosis (Campylobacteria)

Process adult cow herd Anaplasmosis control Vibriosis 4/5 way Viral respiratory diseases (IBR, BVDV) Parasite control program (location & season dependent) Leptospirosis Evaluate individual animals: udder, eyes, disposition, feet, joints, legs, soundness preg check and culling BCS PI3V, BRSV Anaplasmosis control Vibriosis

Don’t Forget Your Bulls!

Bulls PI3V, BRSV Breeding Soundness Exam Monitor BCS Viral respiratory diseases (IBR, BVDV) Leptospirosis Vibriosis Parasite control program (location & season dependent) PI3V, BRSV http://umaine.edu/publications/1031e/

should not need any vaccinations 60 days pre-calving all females Adequate management should not need any vaccinations Scours vaccinations

Herd Health Program Review annually Disease prevention cheaper than cost of treatment Consider nutrition and BCS at all stages Keep records of all products used Observe label directions….consideration for use of MLV vaccines on pregnant animals
