Golden Valley News May 27, 2021 NEWS COMICS calves a concern Dead or sick calves are a scenario that is reported every year in a num- ber of beef herds in the northern jPlains. “A list of all possible causes for Ithis case can be very confusing to producers,” says Gerald Stokka, :North Dakota State University Ex- itension veterinarian and livestock stewardship specialist. “However, Edepressed, feverish calves with an in- :creased respiratory rate most likely 'will fit the diagnosis of ‘summer pneumonia?” . The common question generated .by this diagnosis is: Why would gnursing beef calves in the pasture with little stress in their lives come down with respiratory disease or pneumonia? " What is Summer Pneumonia? V Summer pneumonia is respiratory disease/pneumonia that occurs in beef calves nursing their dams. The age range of calves affected can be .as early as 3 to 4 weeks and from 3 to :5 months of age. , Calves are born with little to no immunity and are dependent on re— :ceiving a passive transfer of immu— inity from their dam colostrum. This passively acquired iimmunity declines through time, and .unless the calf develops active im- munity through vaccination or expo- through . sure to infectious agents, they even- tually will become susceptible to pathogens that can cause respiratory disease. , “This is why some calves are sus— ceptible at a very young age (3 to 4 weeks) and other calves become sus- ceptible later,” Stokka says. Conditions Leading to Summer Pneumonia Stressful conditions that may pre- cipitate an outbreak of summer pneu- monia in nursing calves: 0 Certain weather events can in- crease the risk of developing sum— mer pneumonia. For example, mid to late spring blizzards or rain can deprive the calf of normal nursing patterns and produce hypother~ mia/chilling in calves. Late spring or summer high temperatures can produce heat stress in cows and calves, resulting in greater suscepti- bility to infectious agents. Also, dry, dusty conditions can increase sus— ceptibility because the calves’ nor- mal innate, clearing defense mechanisms can be overwhelmed, which allows for pathogens to pro- liferate and gain access to the lungs of young calves. , - Mixing groups together after calving, such as moving cow-calf pairs to pasture or mixing groups to- gether for heat synchronization and artificial insemination procedures, can result in cattle re—establishing their social order and allowing the transmission of infectious agents. - When calves are sorted for mov- ing or synchrOnization programs, they can have separation anxiety and nurse infrequently, which increases stress. These organisms are commonly found in summer pneumonia cases: - Bacterial organisms, which in- V clude Mannheimia hemolytica, Pas- teurella multocida and Histophilus somni 0 Viral agents including BRSV (bovine respiratory syncytial virus), BRCV (bovine respiratory coron- avirus), IBR (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis) and BVDV (bovine viral diarrhea virus) “Vaccination can be effective in reducing the risk of summer pneu— monia when caused by agents for which a vaccine is available,” Stokka says. “HOWever, vaccination in young calves does not equate with a 100% response rate. Nor does it re~ duce the stress associated with weather, dry, dusty conditions, sort- ing and mixing. In addition, while some pathogens may have commer— cially available vaccines, informa- tion to evaluate effectiveness is limited.” Sacrifice area may save grazing resources During dry conditions, establish— ing a sacrifice area may help prevent livestock from overgrazing and dam— ;aging a small farm’s grazing re— SOurces, a North Dakota State University Extension agent and spe- cialist say. “Overgrazing can lead to weed overgrowth and ultimately will be time consuming and costly to re—es- tablish grass in the future,” warns Penny Ngster, N DSU Extegsion agri- Kidder County. A sacrifice area is an area where animals stay at times when pasture grazing is detrimental to land and plants. This area can be in a dry lot pen or a fenced-off area of the pasture. This can be used during times that animals do not need to graze or dor- mant seasons, drought times or peri- ods of excess moisture. “The goal of these areas is to sac- culture and namrai’rESoiirees agent in}. rrjficezaismall part of your resources to ensure the majority of your land has the rest it needs to stay healthy and productive,” says Mary Keena, Extension livestock environmental management specialist at NDSU’s Carrington Research Extension Cen— ter.

He was on “Dick Clark’s Good 01’ Rock and Roll Revue,” singing “Lonely Teardrops.” Wilson had a habit of taking lots of salt pills and water to create sweating, which he thought looked great onstage. Unfor- tunately, that combination also causes very high blood pressure. He never sang again. 2. “Mrs. Robinson.” The following year it won a Grammy, for Record of theYear. 3. “Jennifer Eccles.” The name came from the wife of one of the writers and the maiden name of the other writer’s wife. 4.
