can black cattle get pink eye?

[Moocow11]

this came from another person that doesnt belive that black cattle can get pinkeye . so lets hear it.

They might be resistant but I don't think any cow is immune from it, could be wrong though.

 

[richburg102]

of course...... a cow is a cow the only difference is the color and that has no effect on diseases

the worst case of pinkeye i ever saw was in a black angus cow

 

[TheBullLady]

Yes indeed.. although it seems like the white faced or white eyed cattle are more susceptible.

 

[SEC]

Yes they can get pink eye as it's not always about pigmentation. Flies can spread it pretty easily.

 

[CPL]

Yup they can get it. If fly control and everything else they can get it just as bad as some of the black baldies.

 

[warpaint]

Pinkeye is spread by flies.

As has been already said, any color cow can get it without the proper steps taken to prevent it.

The only longhorn cow in my herd to have suffered from it was a black lineback.

Yes, black cattle can get pink eye. White faced (marked) animals are more prone to it though.

Couple years ago we had a cow go blind from a nasty case of bovine keraconjunctuvitus

 

[AngusSenorita]

why is it that white faced cattle are more prone to pink eye?
