Dairy replacement Heifer, Mr P Reynolds - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Cause: Viral First, Then Bacteria
      - Transmission
        
        Viral –direct contact
        
        Poor Ventilation
        
        Stress
      - Symptoms
        
        High Temperature
        
        Discharge from mouth
        
        Heavy Breathing
      - Treatment
        
        Antibiotics
        Isolate/Quarantine
      - Prevention
        
        Vaccinate
        
        Ventilated Sheds
        
        Stack Effect
        
        heat generated from the cattle - rises and leaves the building through an ‘outlet’.
        creates a negative pressure within the building which draws fresh air in through the inlets and the circulation continues.
        
        Science
        
        Reduces the length of time bacteria and viruses can survive
        
        Signs of poor Ventilation
        
        build-up of cobwebs and dust
        
        rust developing
        
        use of smoke pellets
        
        Adequate Space
        
        Colostrum
    - - Cause: Over fed milk., bacterial, Pathoegenic
      - Symptom
        
        Diarrhoea
        
        Dehydration
        
        Sunken Eyes
      - Treatment
        
        Isolate to prevent spread of infection
        
        Glucose and Electrolytes
      - Prevention
        
        Feeding Routine
        
        Vaccination
        
        Colostrum
  - - - High Protein and Fat
      - Immunoglobulins (ANTIBODIES)
    - - High Energy
      - Antibodies – protection against disease
      - Digestible Nutrients
      - Laxative Effect
    - - milk cows produce after colostrum and before what we consider 'whole milk'.
      - Higher Protein/Higher Energy – Increased Weight Gain
        Immunity – More Antibodies – Less Infection
  - - - (10% of Body weight – 40kg = 4L)
  - - - Less Disease
      - Sustainable (Slurry/Chemicals)
      - Higher LWG
    - - Fed High DMD (>75%) Silage Ad-Lib - LWG
      - High Energy/Protein concentrates if silage quality is poor or below target weight
      - Dosed for intestinal and external Parasites (Fluke/Worm/Lice)
      - Target weight (65% of Mature Weight/ 200kg)
  - - - Importance of Target Weights
        
        Calve later = Lower Productivity (Profit Loss)
        
        Increased risk of calving difficulty = Lower Productivity (Profit Loss)
        
        Culling from the herd = Genetics Lost/Economic Loss
        
        Less Milk Production = Lower Productivity (Profit Loss)
