[QUOTE="egbert, post: 8136653, member: 9965"] By the time we'd had it diagnosed....we'd seen repeat returns, and full term non-viables, but no visible abortions. (Obviously, with cows adrift on a vast peat plateau- and being incompetent muppets-, who knows what we missed, but I didn't see any) It is passed either from mother to calf (almost 100% of calves from infected cows are infected), or via dogs/foxes that've eaten infected foetus or cleansings. We had 15% infected by the time we found out, and records show a whole slice of the belt herd, descended from one cow who always bred well, infected. But it was also suddenly mushrooming out fast. A friend seems to have gone from zero to 90% infected in a matter of months....suggesting an infected canine crapping in a feeder or somesuch. It's been gut wrenching to cull out entire families, inc some lines we've had for over a century. but culling is the only solution. [USER=168950]@Truenorth[/USER] ....get your cows tested, and do what needs to be done. It will only get worse if you don't. Neospora should be notifiable, and testing should be state funded. [/QUOTE]
