Join us on January 29, 2025, at 1 p.m. (EST) to deepen your understanding of fluid therapy for scouring calves and enhance the future of calf health through innovative and practical approaches. Neonatal calf diarrhea (i.e., scours) is one of the predominant causes of calfhood disease, death, and reduced growth. While various pathogens may cause diarrhea, clinical symptoms and case fatality are largely associated with the ensuing dehydration rather than the diarrhea itself. As such, fluid...

Traditional approaches to gastrointestinal parasite control in cattle have relied on the routine application of anthelmintic and endectocide products, often without assessing their necessity or effectiveness. However, the emergence of anthelmintic resistance and growing environmental concerns are rendering this approach unsustainable and increasingly less acceptable to consumers. In this webcast, Dr. John Gilleard will provide an update on anthelmintic resistance, diagnostic tests, and the...

In this webcast, Dr. Liberty Getman will delve into the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis and explore the regenerative medicine therapies available for its treatment. She will provide an in-depth explanation of how to effectively utilize products like platelet-rich plasma (PRP), autologous protein solution (ProStride APS), and bone marrow concentrate (CenTrate BMA) within a clinical setting.

There is a neonatal diarrhea issue at one of your producers.
During a discussion with one of your producers regarding the use of antibiotics on their farm and the need for judicious and justified use, you realize they are administering them to treat neonatal diarrhea. They mention that over 50% of calves suffer from diarrhea in their first months of life. You explain to them that antibiotics are often unnecessary, leading to a discussion about vaccines against neonatal diarrhea. To better...

A 3-year-old thoroughbred filly is noticed to be ‘off colour’ after travelling to her last race. She has a temperature of 102 °F and a respiratory rate of 24 breaths/ minute. You perform an ultrasound of her lungs. The video shows the most significant pathology you find, which is present bilaterally throughout her mid-ventral lung fields.

Watch this video as Dr. Samantha Taylor reviews the 2024 ISFM and AAFP guidelines on long-term NSAID use in cats. She highlights the importance of careful patient selection, comprehensive pretreatment evaluations, and ongoing monitoring to manage chronic pain effectively. She also discusses scenarios where NSAIDs may not be suitable and explores multimodal strategies—including environmental modifications and alternative therapies—to support feline well-being. By adopting these evidence-based...

This research communication paper addresses the hypothesis that the use of therapeutic alternatives for mastitis, such as intramammary ozone, can cure the disease with lower costs and without harmful residues for human consumption and without formation of microbial resistance like the ones caused by indiscriminate use of antibiotics in dairy farms.
The study was performed in 36 mammary quarters from 12 dairy cows with subclinical mastitis grade three. The experimental units were randomly...

Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Department of Animal Science researchers published an article in the March 2024 issue of Animal Genetics describing how they identified a de novo mutation in CACNA1A associated with autosomal dominant bovine familial convulsions and ataxia in Angus cattle. Bovine familial convulsions and ataxia Also known as cerebellar abiotrophy, bovine familial convulsions and ataxia (BFCA) was first described in Angus cattle in 1968. Affected calves...
