Visited a client in Co. Waterford who presented late spring calving cows to determine pregnancy status. I informed him that a cow had a dead foetus which died at 120 days of gestation. The farmer then told me that 8 out of 10 of her comrades had aborted as maiden heifers .Neospora was identified as the causative effect. There is a possibility that this cow is also a carrie. She and her progeny will now be tested for neospora.
Wishing all readers a very Happy and Prosperous New Year
