[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 417352, member: 391"] Just what I have seen and been told(by people who should know). Vaccinating doesn't seem to help its an opportunistic bug- it takes a compromised immune system to thrive. So number one is to keep the calves healthy and unstressed Problem is you don't know if you are dealing with it or not ;till its too late. You can't afford to treat all sicknesses as Mycoplasma as it takes heavy long term(10-14 days) dosing to treat. And even then you'll have high levels of failures. Draxin is helpful- as it treats long term-but it still needs backing up to knock Myco out-- how do you decide to back it up? Once the calf is lame its too late. I haven't got it figured out yet............ and I am seeing more and more lame cattle .Joint Lameness was rare 10 yrs ago- its common now. [/QUOTE]
