Three new beef-health publications are now available through the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach online store. Grant Dewell, extension beef veterinarian, authored the publications and said each addresses a specific concern.
“The one on vitamin A deficiency in beef calves is perhaps the most timely because of the upcoming calving season, but the others also offer current and valuable information for beef operations,” Dewell said. “The other two publications on ergot poisoning and trichomoniasis provide details on recognizing specific signs and symptoms of those concerns.”
All three new publications are two pages in length in pdf format and can be downloaded at no cost:
- Vitamin A Deficiency in Beef Calves (PMR 1014)
- Trichomoniasis in Beef Cattle (PMR 1012)
- Ergot Poisoning in Cattle (PMR 1013)
Producers with additional questions about these or any beef health issues are encouraged to contact their Iowa State University Extension and Outreach beef program specialist or their veterinarian for more information.
