Bovine Anaplasmosis |
 |
 |
Anaplasmosis is an infectious disease of cattle and other ruminants which is caused by blood-born parasite - Anaplasma marginale. Anaplasmosis is a disease that occurs worldwide. Economic losses are attributed to death, increased abortion rate, and decreased body weight and condition. Annual losses from anaplasmosis in the U.S.A. have been estimated to be in excess of $100 million.
Anaplasmosis is spread by the transfer of blood from an infected animal to a susceptible animal. Ticks are a primary carrier, as the Anaplasma organism can survive in ticks for a long time. Biting insects such as horse flies, stable flies, and mosquitoes are also carriers. Contaminated needles or dehorning instruments can also transfer the organisms to susceptible animals.
Once the parasite enters the host animal, it invades the red blood cells and begins to destroy the infected cells, resulting in a rapid reduction of circulating red blood cells. The diseased animal may show signs of anemia, jaundice and fever resulting in the animal becoming increasingly weakened and more susceptible to stress and possible death. Cattle of all ages may become infected with the severity of the infection increasing with age. In cattle under 12 month of age, only a mild illness may be noticed, but the animals become a carrier for life. Cattle greater than 2 years of age, show the most severe disease where death rates can reach 50% if left untreated.
Contol measures are focused in two primary areas: reducing vecor transmission and eliminating carrier states. This includes reducing the prevalence of tick and insect vectors through effective pest management practices and implementing proper sanitary procedures to minimize transfer via blood-contaminated instruments. The Anaplasma marginale organism is susceptible to administration of chlortetracycline through the feed for a prolonged period until the infection is cleared. Aureomycin® brand of chlortetracycline is approved for feeding at 350 mg per day for cattle weighing 700 lbs and lower or 0.5 mg/lb body weight/day for those animals weighing over 700 lbs. Aureomycin® can also be fed at 0.5 - 2.0 mg/lb bodyweight when provided in an approved free-choice supplement. Feeding Aureomycin® is the practical, convient, effective and economical method for controlling anaplasmosis in cattle.
Talk to you local sales representative to learn more about our Farmers Cattle Blend Minerals and Precision Mineral lines that contain Aureomycin® to help control Anaplasmosis.

An Urban's Rural View
Friday, May 18, 2012 5:03PM CDT
