A field trial to investigate the efficacy of vitamins ADE, a Haemophilus somnus bacterin, a pasteurella bacterin, and two intranasal infectious bovine rhinotracheitis-parainfluenza type 3 vaccines administered to beef calves at least three weeks prior to weaning and shipment was conducted.Over 1000 calves were vaccinated, but of the 692 calves shipped from the ranch of origin, only 276 calves were located in Ontario, or Quebec, feedlots. The average treatment rate was 30%. Neither vitamins ADE, H. somnus bacterin, pasteurella bacterin or the porcine tissue culture infectious bovine rhinotracheitis-parainfluenza type 3 vaccine had a significant effect on treatment rates for respiratory disease. Calves vaccinated with the temperature sensitive infectious bovine rhinotracheitis-parainfluenza type 3 vaccine had a significantly (p < 0.05) lower treatment rate than the nonvaccinated, and the porcine tissue culture infectious bovine rhinotracheitis-parainfluenza type 3 vaccinated, calves. Calves vaccinated with the temperature sensitive infectious bovine rhinotracheitis-parainfluenza type 3 vaccine did not have a significantly reduced treatment rate in comparison to nonvaccinated calves from the same source.

This study investigated the genetics of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) infectivity in Holstein-Friesian dairy cows using British national data. The analyses included cows with recorded sires from herds affected by bTB outbreaks between 2000 and 2022. Animals were considered bTB-positive if they reacted positively to the skin test and/or had positive post-mortem findings.

Paratuberculosis, a chronic wasting disease affecting domestic and wild ruminants worldwide, is caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). Various diagnostic tests exist for detecting MAP infection; however, none of them possess perfect accuracy to be qualified as a reference standard test, particularly due to their notably low sensitivity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the evolution of digit health (DH) on Swiss dairy farms participating in a nationwide DH program and to identify risk factors associated with poor DH. Specially trained claw trimmers recorded disorders of the digits (DOD) electronically during routine trimmings between January 2020 and June 2023. The first part of the study was a non-randomized controlled implementation study, comparing the evolution of DH in 75 herds that received professional on-farm risk assessments as well as veterinary advice with 49 herds that did not.

Bovine tuberculosis is an important zoonotic infectious disease that presents a risk to human health, livestock, and wildlife. We report the complete genome sequence of a new strain that caused a bovine tuberculosis outbreak on a cattle farm in Saskatchewan, Canada, in 2023.

Brucellosis is a neglected infectious disease caused by animals and is becoming a public health problem in developing countries. There are limited case reports of human brucellosis in Indonesia because the symptoms are not specific. This study investigated the association between serological tests for brucellosis among workers and their knowledge, attitude, and behavior.
