WARBLE CONTROL
The presence of a large numb-
er of warble grubs in cattle
causes a dollar- loss that is
greater than most producers
realize, reports R, E.. Mc-
Cartney, a livestock specialist
with the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food. Updated
calculations, based on a survey
by the Meat Packers' Council,
show that losses in Ontario
range from $12 to $25 per head,
depending on the number of
grubs present.
The northern warble fly buzze
around cattle, continually dart-
ing into the under them to lay
its eggs. This frightens cattle
and causes them to run wildly
or "gad." Gadding can result in
physical injury, weight loss,
decreased milk production, and
may reduce beef gains by 50
to 75 pounds per head. In add-
ition to these on-farm losses,
the lower carcass value of
"grubby" slaughter cattle is
brone by the producer.
As a result of warble infest-
ations, losses in slaughter cattle

After a short honeymoon,
the couple took up residence at
297 Belmont Ave., W. Kitch-

with Eatons of Canada and the
groom with Silverwood Dairies.
Late arrival
The normal movenient of
western feeder cattle to Ontario
feedlots has been disrupted this
year. Because of market cond-
itions and good weather in tine
west, Western producers are.
leaving their calves on the cow,
longer than usual.
Ideally, the cattle should
be in the feedlots now, so they
have time to acclimatize
themselves to Ontario condit-
ions, according to Dr. D.
Davis, cattle diseases special-
ist for the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food.
The late arrival of the 1973
feeder cattle crop could cause
additional health problems for
feedlot operators. As well as
the normal stress caused by
shipping, the cattle may suffer
from bad weather en route or
poor weather conditions when
they reach Ontario.
Disease control measures on
arrival must be the most thor-
ough ever used, Dr. Davis
emphasizes.
Feedlot operators should
carefully clean and prepare the
feedlot facilities. Isolation pens
for newly -arrived cattle and
hospital pens for sick animals
should be thoroughly washed
down and disinfected. The inst-
allation of squeezes and chutes
makes handling and treatment
of cattle easier.
Shipping fever is probably
the most conulion problem with
feeder cattle. Plenty of rest,
good grass hay and adequate
water are important. Well -
rested animals are better able
to combat stress and resist
diseases.
Chronic pneumonia is a dis-
ease that is on the increase,
according to post-mortem
records at Ontario Veterinary
College. "The problem is that
operators don't treat illness
properly, " Dr. Davis said.
"Any animal that is sick enougl
to be treated for any disease
should be treated intensively
for about three days. A treat-
ment diary, recording the
sickness and treatment, should
be kept to show the animal's
progress. If a local veterinar-
ian is doing the treating, the
chemicals used should be
noted in the diary."
On arrival of the cattle, the
operator should obtain help
from his veterinarian. It will
be useful to Have his recom-
mendations on warble treat-
ment, 113R symptoms, and
adding drugs to feed or water.
The two week rest period is an
ideal time for the veterinarian
to check for internal parasites
such as worms and coccidia.
As a general rule, watch
newly -arrived cattle closely,
and act promptly if they seem
sick. Should losses occur, send
the animals to post -mortem,
Dr. Davis advises. "This will
help prevent additional deaths
due to incorrect diagnosis, or
indicate a developing pattern
of resistance to treatment,"
