Animal disease control has a long tradition in Finland. The country is free of all EU-regulated cattle diseases of categories A and B. Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, enzootic bovine leucosis, bovine viral diarrhea, bluetongue, bovine genital campylobacteriosis, and trichomoniasis do not...

This issue contains 48 articles on the haemato-biochemical and mineral alteration in adult diarrhoeic dairy animals infected with salmonellosis; biometry of morbid buck testicles and its correlation with epididymal semen quality; intramedullary implant fixation for management of diaphyseal...

Dairy cows are known reservoirs of Salmonella enterica and human salmonellosis has been attributed to the consumption of contaminated dairy and beef products as well as poultry meat and eggs. Although many S. enterica serovars are known to colonize the gastrointestinal tract of cattle, the...

Background and Aim: Dairy cow mortality and culling are important parameters reflecting on cow health, productivity, and welfare as well as important determinants of herd sustainability, growth, and profitability. There are no published reports on the causes and rates of mortality and culling of...

This article discusses the risk assessment and biosecurity measures to prevent and control mastitis, Salmonella Dublin, calf diarrhoea, bovine respiratory disease complex and digital dermatitis in 3835 dairy cattle farms in Quebec, Canada, during 2018-2021.

Neonatal calf diarrhea (NCD) and mortality cause significant losses to the dairy industry. The preweaning dairy calf mortality risk in Uruguay is high (15.2%); however, causes for these losses are largely unknown. This study aimed to assess whether various pathogens were associated with NCD and...

Background: The impact of S. enterica colonization in cattle is highly variable and often serovar-dependent. The aim of this study was to compare the global transcriptomes of highly pathogenic bovine-adapted S. enterica serovar Dublin and the less pathogenic, bovine-adapted, serovar Cerro during...

Dairy cows can be reservoirs of foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella that pose serious public health risks to humans. The study was designed to examine the molecular epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Salmonella isolates from dairy heifer calves and adult lactating cows in the...

Stressful conditions in animal production facilities may exacerbate the fecal shedding and foodborne transmission of non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica. Dairy cows are reservoirs of this zoonotic microorganism, and its prevalence has roughly doubled in the past decade on dairy farms...

We analyzed the epidemiological features of adult dairy cattle diarrhea using etiological diagnosis data from the livestock hygiene service centers in 18 prefectures of Japan between 2004 and 2013. Among 212 cases, 45% were diagnosed as a bovine coronavirus (BCV) infection; 3-9% of the cases were...
