ROADSHOWS  Copper Requirements Increase During Winter and Spring We Are About to Embark on Our Roadshow Tour Again May 2017 Copper in Cattle “Fog Fever” - Cow Deaths From a mob of in-calf heifers grazing regrowth rape, 3 heifers were noticed with an unusual grunting cough. Twenty four hours later, two of these heifers died. Post-Mortem of these affected heifers showed unusual infl ammation in the lungs. This was confi rmed by the lab to be “Acute Bovine Pulmonary Emphysema and Odema” or “Fog Fever” for short. The third heifer was treated symptomatically but died 36 hours later. Fog Fever is a James Herriot era name and the disease probably has nothing to do with fog and more to do with the fact the disease is more commonly seen in the autumn. A rapid Ewes News change in feed (also a risk factor for Vitamin B1 Defi ciency) causes a particular gut bacteria to convert L-Tryptophan, a naturally occurring amino acid, to a toxic Comment compound. The toxin rapidly impairs lung function resulting in death.

Schist country cattle seem to have high Michael Lilley BVSc requirements for copper supplementation Veterinary Centre Ranfurly Veterinary Centre – Copper is an essential trace element required for many functions directly related to the productivity of your stock. Annual BoosterVac By the Big Blue Cross Simon and Kirstin Englebrecht There are several reasons why animals become defi cient in copper over winter and spring. These include: Light cattle being chronically under-fed. Copper absorption and availability are hindered by soil BoosterVac and plant factors (molybdenum sulphur & iron content). Anitbody Levels SHEEP & BEEF Animals may undergo gut lining changes caused by Sensitiser Vac parasitism. Many crops that are fed in the winter, such as kale, are low in copper. ROADSHOWS Copper requirements increase during winter and spring We are about to embark on our roadshow tour again.
