Is that where you got your screen name or did they name the bacteria after you? ;-) :lol2: :lol2:

From the Merck Veterinary Manual "Actinomyces spp are normal flora of the oral and nasopharyngeal mucous membranes. Members of the genus Actinomyces are gram-positive, non-acid-fast rods, many of which are filamentous or branching. Branches are <1 µm in diameter, as opposed to fungal filaments...

I can always keep him back as a butcher beef so maybe that will be the easiest route. I know I will have to learn someday but I am not looking forward to it.

I have a small calf (~350lbs) that I bought along with a group of other calves. He has horns that appeared and are now about an inch or a little more. Can I still dehorn him easily? I saw the two handled dehorners that looked simple enough. Is it too late to use these? If it is going to...

That's the Bloat Bible. Great Post!! :tiphat:

Thats why I passed. Do you mean an ongoing infection?

I was recently at an auction and three calves that were about 150 to 200 lbs each came through that all had stiff back legs. One of them could only hop his back legs along behind him. They all looked like they came from the same farm and were healthy and active, just a little slow in the rear...

The one you tried was from TSC? Did they seem to do OK with it once they were able to eat it?

I have been giving them some protein supplementation in the block form for the last month or so. It was a higher protein percentage and they seemed to do OK with it. My grass is getting a little dried out thats why I thought I might need one at least until we get some fall rain and it greens...

Does anyone have any experience with the protein tubs from TSC. I got a good deal on one that is 24% protein. I forgot the list of ingredients at home so I cant tell you what is in it right now. What do you think the most economical supplement is if they are just getting grass and minerals...

I agree, as I have said I dont discount the approaches but the vendors of these methods. Ditto except they do not have to have a chemical charge. Definition from Wikipedia "In chemistry, radicals (often referred to as free radicals) are atomic or molecular species with unpaired electrons on...

Oxyblast wrote: Thank you for admitting that you can have too many free radicals. It is a fine balance between the free radicals and the antioxidants that are able to give up an electron to stop the free radical cascade. I am not saying H2O2 is totally bad, not at all. I was simply pointing...

I am not saying that OXYGEN is bad for your body but "singlet" oxygen produced from the breakdown of H2O2 is not in the normal stabilized state that we breath in. Oxygen in the air is O2, not a single atom of oxygen. Oxygen without a partner is a free radical. A free radical is an unpaired...

Anytime the cospiracy theory is brought up it must be true and if you dont believe it you are in on the conspiracy too. Admit it now or face the consequences!! "Singlet oxygen" would be a free radical. Last I heard free radicals are bad and do not limit their oxidation to just industrial...

I just read a report that there is something in plastics that is a big contributer to low sperm counts. I am sorry I forgot the name of the chemical, Ill have to look it up agian. Statistics are great if they are used correctly but they can be manipulated so many ways to fit what the...

I got the link to work - thanks. Here is a quote from the last paragraph of the article. It seems that it could be one of many causes. "Dorsal recumbancy can cause death from any number of things, including bloat, suffocation, shock or heart failure. Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent...

Thanks, so it might be both factors contributing to death - much appreciated. :D

When you say they bloat and die, is it a true bloat in which excess gas builds up in the rumen? I have never seen it and this is the first I have heard of it but it seems to me that they probably suffocate from the weight of the rumen on their lungs. They are not made to be in that position...
