Anaplasmosis

[blackladies]

Certain diseases people don’t like to talk about if they have in their herd ex. Johnes. What to do if you have serious diseases? Can cull hard and test? Had a cow test positive for anaplasmosis. Keep pour on Ivermectin for the flies but should take care of ticks as well. Still have anaplasmosis. I know it’s part of it but seems like you can’t win sometimes.

We've had a few cases of Anaplas over the years. It's easy to treat if you catch it fast but as you say now you've got a carrier. We've never culled for it and honestly haven't had enough trouble to start.

Where I live, there will be anaplasmosis. All I can do is be proactive with diligent spraying and keep out mineral with CTC. There is a vaccine, but results are mixed.

At the time, we were concerned about a few of our younger cows that were thinner. We’ve been in a drought and I’ve eventually started feeding hay and feeding grain everyday and have put out several protein tubs, to try to help these cows keep or gain some condition through the drought.
Vet said he some cows in similar condition and said these were healthy acting so he said...
