Prevention and management are key to limiting losses associated with one of the cattle industry’s most common diseases— pink eye.
Signs To Look For:
- Runny and Squinty Eyes
- Ulcers
- Disfigurations
The infection can go from mild to severe in a matter of days.
However, Extension Livestock Veterinarians say that there are ways to help.
Those include:
- Personalized programs that use farm-specific bacteria to lessen outbreaks
- Using antibiotic therapy
- Fly Control
- Cloth Patches
Pink eye can be costly, causing reduced weight, decreased milk production, and de-valuation of sale animals.
