Question

A producer notices one of his/her cows is not becoming pregnant. He/she also notices this same cow has a cough, nasal discharge and a loss of appetite. He/ she realizes these are symptoms of IBR (Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis) which is a contagious infection. Based on your knowledge, what would be your suggestion to the producer on how to solve this issue?

Answer 1

Isolate the cow because infected animals should be isolated from the rest of the herd. My suggestion would be to maybe try giving the cow antibiotic therapy which is basically designed to control secondary bacterial infection. Also provide adequate food and water along with isolation and this will limit disease transmission and severity.
