Blackleg• Is a disease caused by bacteria that grow only in the

absence of oxygen, usually grown in deep wounds. Can live in the soil. Young cattle are more susceptible then older cattle. Sudden death, lameness, swollen muscles and high fever are some symptoms.

Scours• Found in young cattle. Calves older than 2 months rarely

get it. Sanitation is the key to preventing this disease. It is very important for the young calves to drink colostrum.

Listeriosis• Caused by a germ. Is spread from animal to animal by

contaminated feed and water. Sometimes caused by breeding. The symptoms will show 4-14 days before death.

Lumpy Jaw• Is a chronic disease and seldom causes the animal to die

cattle. Can cause blindness if left untreated.
