Fog fever is a refeeding syndrome in cattle, clinically named acute bovine pulmonary emphysema and edema (ABPEE) and bovine atypical interstitial pneumonia. [1] [2] This veterinary disease in adult cattle follows an abrupt move from feedlot (dried feed indoors) to 'foggage pasture' (fast growing, lush pasture, with high protein levels).
In 1998 some researchers reported use in livestock production was a factor in the high prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in Korea. [131] In 2007 The Korea Times noted that Korea has relatively high usage of antibiotics in livestock production. [132] In 2011, the Korean government banned the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in ...
Stress often serves as the final precursor to BRD. The diseases that make up BRD can persist in a cattle herd for a long period of time before becoming symptomatic, but immune systems weakened by stress can stop controlling the disease. Major sources of stress come from the shipping process [15] and from the co-mingling of cattle. [9]
Causes: A type of prion [3] Risk factors: Feeding contaminated meat and bone meal to cattle: Diagnostic method: Suspected based on symptoms, confirmed by examination of the brain [1] Prevention: Not allowing sick or older animals to enter the food supply, disallowing certain products in animal food [4] Treatment: None: Prognosis: Death within ...
BSE is a degenerative infection of the central nervous system in cattle. It is a fatal disease, similar to scrapie in sheep and goats, caused by a prion.A major epizootic affected the UK, and to a lesser extent a number of other countries, between 1986 and the 2000s, infecting more than 190,000 animals, not counting those that remained undiagnosed.
Many species of flies of the two-winged type, Order Diptera, such as mosquitoes, horse-flies, blow-flies and warble-flies, cause direct parasitic disease to domestic animals, and transmit organisms that cause diseases. These infestations and infections cause distress to companion animals, and in livestock industry the financial costs of these ...

Most mites are free-living and harmless. Other mites are parasitic, and those that infest livestock animals cause many diseases that are widespread, reduce production and profit for farmers, and are expensive to control. [1] [2] [3] Mites are invertebrates, arthropods with a chitinous exoskeleton and jointed limbs.
