MEMORIAL DAY MAY 29, 2017 REMEMBER THOSE WHO SERVED VOL. 100, No. 11 www.LDAF.la.gov May 25, 2017 Feral hogs cost Louisiana farmers $$$$$$$$$$$ Farmer Troy Fruge of Basile shows how wild pigs have damaged areas of his grain sorghum crop. Fruge said the hogs also feed on his rice crop and fields of his sweet potatoes. Photo by Bruce Schultz/LSU AgCenter Woody Reed has tried everything to the control feral hog on his property in Avoyelles Parish with little success until now.

He lives on hundreds of acres of land he owns pesky troublemakers he could. He even tried hunting in Avoyelles Parish. It has been his source of income them to mitigate the situation. Within about a year, he where he grows soybeans and milo. It’s also where he caught roughly 17 hogs. That’s when family friend, spends his recreation time and hunts deer. That is, until Dwight Landreneau, made him aware of the Louisiana about three years ago. Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) Feral “I started seeing fewer and fewer deer and not because Hog Control Program. That’s when Reed started to see I was hunting them,” said Reed. What he noticed were a difference. signs of feral hogs which he believed were destroying “In about four weeks, the LDAF trapping device his deer habitat. caught 84 hogs. It caught entire hog families,” said Feral hog damage was also occurring on land Reed Reed. leased out to his tenant farmer. There was so much While Reed knows it will not eradicate the destructive damage, that farmer could not plant in certain areas. animals, it may help keep the population in check. As a result, Reed faced additional expenses to reclaim Reed’s 220-acre farm is surrounded by thousands of the land. acres belonging to other farmers. They grow soybeans, “I’ve been a farmer all of my life. I’ve never seen a corn, rice and crawfish. Reed feels the hog trapping hog problem this bad,” said Reed. The hogs can dig up efforts have had a positive effect on surrounding so much land that farmers have difficulty running their properties. tractors and equipment over it.

    Four-Legged, 1,600-Pound Athlete Looks to Continue His Historical Streak in Louisville This Weekend!

    Four-legged, 1,600-pound Athlete Looks to Continue His Historical Streak in Louisville This Weekend! Professional Bull Riders' (PBR) World Champion Bull Bushwacker Goes for 41st Consecutive Buckoff at Louisville, Kentucky’s KFC Yum! Center April 13-14 The Professional Bull Riders (PBR) stops in Louisville, Ky. this weekend at the KFC Yum! Center for the PBR Built Ford Tough Series Bass Pro Chute Out presented by Jack Daniels Saturday, April 13 and Sunday, April 14. During Sunday’s Built Ford Tough Championship Round , the bucking chute gate will open and two-time World Champion Bull Bushwacker of Julio Moreno Bucking Bulls will get a chance to extend his already historic streak of consecutive buckoffs. Having already shattered the previous record of 35 consecutive buckoffs, he is currently at 40 and odds indicate he will dump his 41st consecutive cowboy in Louisville. All of the action airs on CBS Sports Network Sunday, April 14 at 5 p.m. ET. Either way, history is going to be made this weekend; Bushwacker will continue his unprecedented success, or a cowboy will finally complete an 8-second ride atop this amazing animal athlete. Bushwacker has not been ridden successfully since 2009 and has maintained an impressive average buckoff time of 2.38 seconds. PBR fans know they are witnessing something special every time he sets hooves in an arena. This is bull riding’s equivalent of DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak, bringing excitement and anticipation each time this bovine bruiser gets into a chute. Amazingly, Bushwacker didn’t let arthroscopic surgery on his rear fetlocks (ankles) in January 2012 get in the way of his career, as he has returned to the sport better than ever.

    Genomic Divergence of Zebu and Taurine Cattle Identified Through High-Density SNP Genotyping

    Porto-Neto et al. BMC Genomics 2013, 14:876 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/14/876 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genomic divergence of zebu and taurine cattle identified through high-density SNP genotyping Laercio R Porto-Neto1,2,6*, Tad S Sonstegard3*, George E Liu3, Derek M Bickhart3, Marcos VB Da Silva5, Marco A Machado5, Yuri T Utsunomiya4, Jose F Garcia4, Cedric Gondro2 and Curtis P Van Tassell3 Abstract Background: Natural selection has molded evolution across all taxa. At an arguable date of around 330,000 years ago there were already at least two different types of cattle that became ancestors of nearly all modern cattle, the Bos taurus taurus more adapted to temperate climates and the tropically adapted Bos taurus indicus. After domestication, human selection exponentially intensified these differences. To better understand the genetic differences between these subspecies and detect genomic regions potentially under divergent selection, animals from the International Bovine HapMap Experiment were genotyped for over 770,000 SNP across the genome and compared using smoothed FST. The taurine sample was represented by ten breeds and the contrasting zebu cohort by three breeds. Results: Each cattle group evidenced similar numbers of polymorphic markers well distributed across the genome. Principal components analyses and unsupervised clustering confirmed the well-characterized main division of do- mestic cattle. The top 1% smoothed FST, potentially associated to positive selection, contained 48 genomic regions across 17 chromosomes. Nearly half of the top FST signals (n = 22) were previously detected using a lower density SNP assay. Amongst the strongest signals were the BTA7:~50 Mb and BTA14:~25 Mb; both regions harboring candi- date genes and different patterns of linkage disequilibrium that potentially represent intrinsic differences between cattle types.

This male maneuvers with a limp on the affect leg. ***A female goat in the nursery area had a large severely bilaterally deformed udder. The licensee stated she had mastitis last year when she kidded and he treated her. The animal also had excessive hoof length on its rear hooves causing them to curve upward and crack. The veterinarian has still not examined this animal. Mastitis is a painful and uncomfortable condition and this animal has a malformed udder likely secondary to an inappropriately treated mastitis. ***An additional newborn fallow deer laying beside an adult fallow deer inside the rhino enclosure had a large round spot (approximately 1 1/2 to 2 inches round) on its head that was hairless and grey. ***A large male Watusi was observed tilting its head at an irregular angle.

As reindeer have developed various strategies to adapt to extreme environments, this makes them an interesting species for studies into diversity of immune and metabolic functions in the animal kingdom. Importantly, while reindeer carry natural infections caused by viruses (including coronaviruses), bacteria and parasites, they can also act as carriers for transmitting such diseases to other animals and humans, so called zoonosis. Reindeer are also affected by chronic wasting disease, a neuronal disease caused by prions, similar to scrapie in sheep, mad cows disease in cattle and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. The current study assessed a specific protein modification called deimination/citrullination, which can change how proteins Citation: D’Alessio, S.; function and allow them to take on different roles in health and disease processes.

MOROGORO, TANZANIA. ii 2013 ABSTRACT A study was carried out to characterise phenotypically the Ukerewe TSZ strain in order to know if it differs from the Bunda TSZ strain. Respondents from 46 households were interviewed on sources of income and food, number and species of livestock kept, ranking of livestock, usage of cattle, age at first calving, calving interval and lifetime number of calving. A total of 169 adult TSZ cattle were examined for coat colour pattern, and colours of coat, skin, muzzle, eyelid and hoof. Other traits that were examined are horn shape and sizes of udder, dewlap, testicle, navel-flap and prepuce. Physical body measurements namely body weight, heart girth, body length, withers height, horn length, ear length, muzzle circumference, hock circumference and tail length were taken for each cattle. The SPSS and SAS computer packages were used to analyse qualitative and quantitative data, respectively. Ukerewe TSZ cattle were observed to be significantly (p<0.05) heavier and calving earlier than Bunda TSZ cattle, whereas calving interval and lifetime number of calving revealed insignificant (p>0.05) differences between the two strains. Black colour occurred at significantly (p<0.05) higher frequency for the Ukerewe TSZ strain than for the Bunda TSZ strain. The Ukerewe TSZ strain was also found to have significantly (p<0.05) bigger heart girth and shorter horn length than the Bunda TSZ strain.
