[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 453327, member: 1974"] No sileage, but bought some 'haylage' that was really too dry to have made haylage, so it was hay but a bit dusty. Timing did not work for that to have been the cause anyway. We actually had 3 cases of listeriosis this spring. The first case the vet said it sounded like listeriosis, but we didn't feed sileage so he thought that was not it. He just chalked the first one up to an old cow that probably had a stroke. We put her down the 2nd day after we separated her from the herd. When the second cow came down about 2 weeks later, we started agressively treating her for listeriosis and she recovered in about a week. The third cow came down with it about 2 weeks after the second. She was in a separate lot than the first two. She was in the barn with her calf getting pampered to be shown as a pair this past summer. We caught her symptoms a good 48 hours quicker than the first two. She should have died, but our persistance paid off in this case. Our vet called a vet at Purdue(I think that was where), no one had any answers as to what and why it happened. All three of the cows had calves from 4-8 weeks old when they got sick. We pulled the calves and they are fine, although the 2 youngest still look like bottle babies. [/QUOTE]
