Leptospirosis in cattle

In a study carried out Eoin Lynch MVM it was found that 95% of all beef herds and 76% of all dairy herds have been exposed to leptospirosis infections and if an infection reaches an unvaccinated herd the effects can be severe. He advises that all herd owners should take action in the fight against this infection.

What are the signs of a Leptospirosis infection.

Reduction in milk produced
Abortion which can occur in the late stages of pregnancy
Low conception rates
Weak calves are born
High temperatures in cattle
Flaccid, empty udders
Sudden drop in yield

How do herds become infected with Leptospirosis?

Leptospirosis is mainly spread through urine, this means all grazing cattle are in danger of becoming infected. The infection can spread where cattle drink from a natural water source such as a river running through land. Buying in unvaccinated cattle can bring the infection to your herd. The use of a stock bull can spread the infection. Sheep if co-grazing with cattle can spread the infection without showing any signs of infection themselves.

Vaccinating cattle can have increased conception rates.

Another study has shown that vaccinated cattle have a higher conception rate at first service. Herds were divided into two groups, one group was vaccinated and the other was not. The conception rate in vaccinated groups was 51% where the conception rate in the un-vaccinated group was 31 %

Cattle Injectables
Injectables should be given according to the manufacturer’s instructions at the recommended injection site.
• Always use a clean, sterile syringe and needle. If using a multiple injection gun, ensure the needle is disinfected between injections, e.g. with an automatic sterilisation system.
• If the site to be injected is dirty, clean the skin and swab with an alcohol-impregnated wipe or cotton wool.
• Before injecting, check the expiry date and read the instructions of the product to be used. Some products need to be shaken before use.
• Use the correct-sized needle according to the size of the animal and site of injection.
• Ensure the animal is adequately restrained before attempting the injection.
• Take care to ensure it is given subcutaneously and not intramuscularly. Raise a fold of skin at the injection site (mainly neck but some are ear) recommended by the product manufacturer and inject carefully into the space created.
• If a large dose is to be delivered, it may be advisable to split the dose between two injection sites. After the injection, briefly massage the site to improve the dispersal of the injected material.
• Dispose of the needle and syringe in appropriate clinical waste and sharps containers.
