    I think she is asserting it is teratogenic, not inherited.

    seems a little harsh. plenty of posts here that are not exactly high science or of great importance. I give credit for efforts to gather data, even if the science is off and the conclusions not particularly credible.

    Fly tag Experience

    neighbors used to use them, they need to be rotated due to resistance. we never have. a lot of time what my neighbors do can be a good signal of what not to do.

    while I certainly understand the amount of work involved in caring for large numbers of animals and/or people, and as well lack of funding for research...there are a couple things that need addressing about this. either find the resources or WAIT until you have the required evidence before...

    appeal to emotion is not good science, or even good debate

    did these three vets actually see and examine the animal? anybody measure anything? how/what was the methodology? you said you didn't even notice the growth. probably it was not that deformed to begin with and just grew normally. the fact that you are activly looking for examples of these...

    you know, I have looked at most all you have posted. some is interesting and has some possibilities for more work. the overall picture I am getting is too much "conclusion" without enough experimentation and verification. WAY too much reliance on anecdotal examples. methodology could be...

    no link and no real point. you clearly have it out for glyphosate, as do many other people. most of them are just nut jobs. I await more work before I draw any conclusions. of course I didn't even ask about this particular assertion so not sure why you posted it.

    I have your words as evidence. most of what you posted in this thread are your personal anecdotes. anecdotes are not data, as they say. photos are a good method of documenting individual events in individual points in time. they are parts of a whole. your personal anecdotes need more...

    I was inquiring about the cases you mentioned specifically: as for the wacky homeopathy "explanations" I am sorry, they fail all scientific tests. shaking and diluting nothing does nothing. crystaline structure memory in water is not a thing. chemistry, physics, - reality - does not work...

    origins of medicines isn't what homeopathy means. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy basically it is using things that are diluted to the point of not existing anymore.

    science and homeopathy do not mesh. nevertheless, I assume there is some epidemiology on the human birth defect/cancer clusters being claimed?

    wound

    good nutrition, maybe some fly repellent and leave it alone, animal will most likely take care of it themself.

    Purina Fly Control

    it may not affect insects that feed on dung, but I am pretty sure it affects anything that hatches and spends larval stages there. (and of course there are many different species of dung beetles) I could be wrong, but the mechanism of the chemical inhibits growth and development and I doubt it...

    Purina Fly Control

    just remember igr products also disrupt the cycle of beneficial insects that help break down manure, such as dung beetles. I am lucky to live in a mostly dry climate where insects/flies are a little less of a problem so I understand the need for doing something, but I will never forget seeing...

    Antiviral vaccines difficult to administer

    Alpha 7 is the thickest vaccine I use and it IS thick - almost as bad as penicillin. if you use a larger gauge needle I have actually seen it cut a tiny plug from the rubber stopper and clog itself that way but pretty rare. sticky syringes are usually from unlubricated o-rings or other rubber...

    Navel on a week old calf

    just skin or can you feel more "stuff" inside there? I have some heifers that get mistaken for steers a lot, but that is quite some extra there.

    Navel I'll??

    what does red spot look like? can you post some pictures. might be a hernia, doubt it would be navel ill at 2 months.

    Zip Bandit

    if I am going to cut, might as well cut. prefer it personally, anyway. let the "help" band if they want as I can't find any literature saying one way is better or worse than the other in terms of recovery but two nuts on the fence post beats missing one above a band. also getting tired of...

    Horn flys no more
