[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1551341, member: 27490"] 1. According to a report in Beef magazine, only 25 to 35 percent of fetal necropsies identify the cause of the abortion or still birth. It further stated that the condition of the fetus and complete information is essential. [b](Reference: Beef Magazine. The key to correcting the problem of abortions is to identify the cause, so abortions can be prevented in the future. However, the success rate for accurate bovine abortion diagnosis is only in the range of 25-35% Mar 29, 2007[/b]) 2. Regarding vaccination. That is only going to help going forward. Obviously, if another member of the herd is infected, the vaccination is too late and trestment will be necessary. I can understand why you said you would not send a fetus or stillborn off for necropsy. In many cases, you are not going to get a determination of the cause. There are numerous pathogens that are involved in causing abortions or stillbirths. Some leave a fingerprint as to what pathogen was the cause but most don't. [/QUOTE]
