Sheep conference raises laryngeal chondritis condition

Larnygeal chondritis showing abscessation of both arytenoid cartilages. \ Department of Agriculture Regional Veterinary Laboratories Recent years’ Teagasc sheep conferences have tackled diseases which are relatively unknown among farmers, but growing in importance, and other ailments of great significance including ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (OPA/Jaagsiekte) and anthelmintic resistance. Last week’s conference also highlighted a disease which many farmers may know little about called laryngeal chondritis. The condition was discussed by Ben Strugnall, a UK vet who runs Farm Post Mortems Ltd in Durham, northeast England. The practice was set up in response to a lack of post-mortem facilities in the region and Ben says it handles mainly sheep and cattle.

Pre-calving trace mineral deficiency is a reality, is it raising your SCC?

December 13, 2020 12:00 pm The transition period in cows is a critical time for herds in Ireland aiming to avoid clinical disease in early lactation. Milk somatic cell count (SCC) levels above 100,000 mean you are losing money. On average mastitis costs farmers €60/cow/year (O’Brien et al., 2016). The major loss for high cell count is milk yield and milk quality penalties. Subclinical mineral deficiency can adversely affect immunity in Irish herds leading to increased levels of transition diseases like mastitis. Addressing this issue could improve herd health nationally. Years of research has documented how trace minerals are vital for disease prevention in cattle. Animals that are in poor mineral status may have poorer immunity.
