We are seeing more and more young cows and bulls showing advanced clinical signs with this disease. Production losses can continue to mount as the disease spreads. Contact us to learn about testing and clearing up your herd! Open herds are the most at risk by bringing in new animals that are carriers and not showing any signs of disease until several years down the road after they have infected many younger animals!

Johne’s disease has been a lingering threat to the beef industry for decades. Measuring increases in cases is often difficult because infected herds can go unnoticed due to long dormant infection periods and non-specific symptoms.

However, missing a Johne’s outbreak can have significant long-term implications. This includes increased replacement costs, decreased weaning weights, loss of important genetics and impacts on seed stock herds’ reputations.

🛑 Stop Johne's disease in its tracks.

This goes for all animals! Keep the hydrogen peroxide out of wounds and ears!

IT'S MYTHBUSTERS TIME! 🔎

As we know, our equine companions can be quite accident-prone. Injuries can vary in severity from small surface cuts that can be managed at home to deep wounds that require sutures that should be addressed by your veterinarian.

As a horse owner, it's inevitable that your equine will sustain several less severe wounds throughout the course of its life, and you may be tempted to clean these wounds with products such as hydrogen peroxide in an effort to prevent infection. However, hydrogen peroxide may cause more harm than good to the healing process.

The truth is that hydrogen peroxide is much too aggressive and toxic to the fibroblasts and other healthy cells that aid in wound healing. Therefore, the use of hydrogen peroxide can actually delay wound healing. In addition, its use can be quite painful when being applied to the wound site.

Instead, it's important to use an isotonic solution (similar in pH to the fluids of the body). Ideally this solution will be warmed to limit the amount of constriction of the blood vessels. If you're in a bind and the wound is grossly contaminated, clean tap water is acceptable to clean the injury site but be sure to use gentle water pressure.

Overall, be sure to approach wound care and cleaning with caution so that you do not unintentionally worsen the injury or slow the healing process. Avoid using hydrogen peroxide, concentrated antiseptics like Betadine or chlorhexidine that have not yet been diluted, or high pressure when applying water or cleansing agents.

If you have questions or concerns about wound care or are unsure if a wound needs veterinary intervention, contact your veterinarian.
