La criptosporidiosis, una enfermedad parasitaria causada por el protozoo Cryptosporidium parvum, se ha convertido en una preocupación central para la ganadería nacional, especialmente durante la época de partos. Gonzalo Ojeda, Product Manager de Salud en Ganadería de Veterquímica, en una reciente entrevista en el Podcast "Booster", advirtió sobre el severo impacto económico de esta patología, que afecta principalmente a terneros neonatos en sus primeras semanas de vida, comprometiendo su desarrollo y potencial productivo futuro. El especialista subrayó la importancia de un diagnóstico temprano, medidas de bioseguridad y tratamientos específicos para enfrentar esta "enfermedad silenciosa".

A nasty gastro parasite is making its presence felt in the capital with twice the number cryptosporidium cases that would be normal around this time of the year. As of last Thursday, there were 81 confirmed cases reported in the Greater Wellington Region for the year, with the majority reported from mid-March. The bug can cause severe vomiting and diarrhoea and people can be infectious for up to two weeks. Professor of Parasitology from the University of Otago Bruce Russell spoke to Lisa Owen.

Today, we're venturing into a topic that many of us might not think about — parasite and worm infections. These unseen invaders can wreak havoc on your health, yet often go unnoticed for a long time. And, despite all the supplements and peptide therapies we might be using to optimize our health, we may still be missing something very important: a potential parasite or worm infection. In this episode, we'll explore the signs and symptoms of these infections, how you can acquire them, and why we should consider them even if we're doing everything "right" in terms of diet and wellness. Let's get into it! First things first—what are parasites and worms, and how are they different?. A parasite is any organism that lives on or inside another organism, known as a host, and benefits at the host's expense. Parasites can be microscopic or visible to the naked eye. Parasites can take many forms, including: Protozoa (single-celled organisms like Plasmodium that causes malaria) Helminths (worms like roundworms, tapeworms, and flatworms) Ectoparasites (organisms like fleas, lice, or ticks that live on the host's skin or surface). They usually don't infect other parts of your body. When people refer to worm infections, they are typically talking about helminth infections. Helminths are a specific type of parasite, and they are multicellular organisms that can be categorized into three main types: Roundworms (e.g., hookworms, pinworms, and threadworms) Tapeworms Flukes (flatworms) So, all worm infections are parasitic, but not all parasites are worms.   What are the symptoms of parasitic infections?   So, how can you tell if you have a parasite/protozoa or a worm infection? Let's talk about signs and symptoms. Signs of a parasite infection can be a bit tricky because they often mimic other illnesses or conditions. You might experience: Diarrhea (sometimes with blood or mucus) Stomach cramps or bloating Fatigue Unexplained weight loss Skin rashes or itching Nausea or vomiting Fever Visible worms in stools or around the anus Itchy anus (especially with pinworm infections) Coughing or chest pain (in the case of certain lung-dwelling worms) Parasites can also affect your mood and mental health, causing things like anxiety or brain fog due to the toxins they release in your body. While some worm infections can be obvious, others may linger for years without being detected, causing slow, gradual damage to the body. How do you get parasitic infections? So, how do we acquire these infections? There are several ways you can pick up a parasite or worm, and it often depends on where you live, what you eat, and what activities you engage in. Let's break it down: Traveling: Traveling to areas with poor sanitation increases the risk of contracting Giardia and Cryptosporidium, two protozoan parasites commonly found in contaminated water or food. These parasites can lead to traveler's diarrhea, causing symptoms like severe stomach cramps, bloating, nausea, and frequent watery diarrhea. In some cases, infections can lead to dehydration and fatigue, making it important to take precautions like drinking bottled water and avoiding undercooked food while traveling.   Eating undercooked meat or fish: Undercooked pork or fish can harbor parasitic larvae, such as Trichinella in pork and Anisakis (Anne-e-sakis) in fish. When consumed, these parasites can survive in the digestive system and begin to infect the body. For example, Trichinella can cause trichinosis, leading to symptoms like muscle pain and fever, while Anisakis can cause abdominal pain and nausea. Properly cooking these meats to safe temperatures can kill the parasites and prevent infection. Contaminated Soil: Certain parasites, like hookworms, can enter your body through small breaks or pores in the skin if you walk barefoot on contaminated soil. Areas where you are most likely to encounter hookworms in soil include Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America (especially Central and South America), Caribbean Islands, and Southern United States (especially in areas with poor sanitation). Insects: Mosquitoes and other insects can transmit diseases caused by parasites, such as Plasmodium, the parasite responsible for malaria. Similarly, ticks can carry parasites like Babesia (buh-bee-zee-ah), which causes babesiosis (buh-bee-zee-OH-sis) Close contact: Some parasites are spread through human-to-human contact, especially in crowded or unsanitary conditions (e.g., schools, daycares, campgrounds, public restrooms, and nursing homes). For example, pinworms can be contracted by anyone, though they are most often seen in children. They are highly contagious, and you can acquire them through contact with contaminated surfaces or even from sharing bedding. How are parasitic infections diagnosed? Healthcare providers look for the parasites themselves or signs of them, such as their eggs, in your body fluids or tissues. To check for parasites, your provider might take samples from different areas, including: Your stool  Blood Skin or any affected tissue Phlegm (sputum) Fluid around your brain and spinal cord (CNS fluid) In some cases, your provider might also use imaging tests like X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to help diagnose a parasitic infection, depending on what symptoms you're experiencing. Now, this all ties into a bigger picture. Many people are investing heavily in their health these days—through supplements, peptide therapies, and cutting-edge wellness routines. And while these are all beneficial, they can't always protect us from hidden invaders like parasites and worms. What's more, many of the symptoms of a parasite or worm infection can mimic other conditions, and because we often don't think about these infections, they can go undiagnosed for years.  If you're dealing with ongoing digestive issues, fatigue, skin problems, or even unexplained brain fog, it might be time to consider that a parasite or worm infection could be behind it—especially if you've recently traveled.   Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.

We share how you can prevent scours this calving season, but you have to act now!  We have the latest news, market recaps, horse for sale, ranch channel listings and lots more on this all new episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show.  Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. EPISODE 216 DETAILS Prevent Scours This Upcoming Calving Season Plus Cattle Industry News How To Prevent Calf Scours: Feed Farmatan Feed Farmatan To Prevent Scours This Calving Season Calving season is getting ready to start for many producers and for some others it is still a ways away yet.  Regardless, we need to get a jump on scours and make sure each and every calf that hits the ground has the best chance of survival.  A simple solution… FARMATAN from Imogene Ingredients.   WHAT CAUSES SCOURS IN BEEF CATTLE/CALVES Clostridia-Enterotoxemia The most common form of Clostridium in cattle is caused by Clostridia perfringens. The gram-positive bacteria are a challenge due to its ability to form spores and lay dormant for long-periods of time. The bacteria reproduce by releasing spores into its environment (soil, feed, manure). The spores can even lay dormant in the animal's intestine until opportunity presents itself. Infection takes place either through ingestion of spores or through an open wound. The most severe cases happen within the first month of a calf's life, and can result in sudden death. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Bloody, Mucus Present, Bubbly Dehydrated Bloat Blindness Prevention/Treatment: Prevention can be difficult due to the Clostridia spores being extremely durable and present almost everywhere. Complete cleanout and disinfection between calves is helpful, but not always effective. A good vaccination program will reduce clinical disease. The best method is to develop good gut health and the immune system of the calf. Farmatan has been shown to strengthen the intestinal wall, helping to prevent infection from taking hold. Coccidiosis Cattle are host to numerous species of Coccidia, a single-celled protozoal parasite. Infection and clinical symptoms can happen any time during a calf's life, with the most severe reaction usually occurring between 3-6 weeks of age. The life-cycle of coccidia requires time to infect the intestine causing destruction of the mucosal and epithelial lining. The oocytes mature outside the host in warm, moist environments before being consumed, causing infection of a new host. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Watery, Bloody Depression Weight Loss Prevention/Treatment: Prevention of Coccidiosis is possible by keeping young calves separate from older animals, providing clean water and feed, and dry conditions. Isolation of infected animals is key to preventing transmission. Keeping the pen dry is the most important step a farmer/rancher can take in preventing Coccidiosis. Treatment can have a good impact on reducing secondary disease, and speeding up recovery time. Farmatan has been shown to disrupt the reproductive cycle of Coccidia; and may help strengthen the intestinal wall to prevent infection, in both the cow and calf. Coronavirus Bovine Coronavirus is a ubiquitous, envelope-viral disease, causing respiratory and enteric infection. There are many serotypes for this virus, making it difficult to test for, and create a vaccine. Coronavirus can present as either diarrhea and/or respiratory illness; transmitted through nasal discharge and/or feces. Animal reservoirs continue to spread the disease, and make eradication almost impossible. Clinical disease will likely occur between days 10-14, and present for up to 4 days. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Watery Nasal Discharge Coughing Prevention/Treatment: Prevention is difficult due to wild animals transmitting the disease. Keeping wild animals out of animal enclosures is essential. Isolation of infected animals is critical to preventing the spread of Coronavirus. Adequate colostrum intake, along with a good vaccination program will help prevent clinical disease. Learn more about the positive effects of Farmtan's active ingredient on Coronavirus HERE. Cryptosporidium Cryptosporidium Parvum is a single-celled parasite responsible for causing infection in young calves. The infection takes place within the first four weeks of a calves' life, afterwards immunity has developed within the calf. The parasite is either passed from the cow or spread through infected water sources. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Watery, Bloody, Mucus present Colic Depression Prevention/Treatment: Good sanitary conditions, especially clean water is essential in preventing transmission of cryptosporidium. Isolation of sick calves will help reduce the effect on the overall herd. There is some good effect of calves given adequate colostrum, however this is likely helping by reducing other pathogenic loads rather than a direct effect on Cryptosporidium, itself. Farmatan fed prior to calving has been shown to disrupt the life-cycle and reduce transmission from the cow. The direct action of Farmatan on the parasite makes it an excellent choice for treating calves. Learn more about the positive effect of Farmatan's active ingredient HERE.   E Coli Escherichia Coli is a bacterial infection that affects calves within the first week of their life. The bacteria colonize in the lower intestine and produce a toxin. The toxin causes excessive secretion of fluids. The zoonotic disease has special importance in food safety and human health. Colostrum and natural immunity are often not sufficient in preventing infection in cases of high bacterial concentrations. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Creamy, Yellow Abdominal Pains Fever Vomiting Prevention/Treatment: The best prevention methods for E. Coli include: clean water, dry bedding/environment, isolation of infected animals, and vaccination. Treatment with antibiotics and oral fluids have great benefits in reducing clinical symptoms of the disease. Farmatan has been shown to reduce bacterial load and help prevent infection. Learn more about the positive effects of Farmatan's active ingredient HERE. Rotavirus Rotavirus in calves is caused by a virus belonging to the Reoviridae family, as a non-envelope RNA virus. Rotavirus is thought to be the most common cause of neonatal diarrhea in calves. The virus tends to affect calves between the age of 1-day-old up to a month, with most cases presenting within the first week of life. Shedding and reinfection can happen in older calves and cows. Clinical symptoms are rarely present after the first month of life; older animals tend to either be carriers or asymptomatic. The majority of herds have some level present, with transmission likely happening during or shortly after birth. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Pale Yellow, Bloody Dehydrated Dull calves Reluctant to drink Prevention/Treatment: The ideal scenario is to prevent infection through, sanitary facilities (calving barn), outdoor calf housing, and a good vaccination program. Colostrum will provide much needed antibodies, protecting the calf before their immune system is fully developed to combat the disease. Farmatan fed prior to calving can help reduce the pathogen load of the cow, reducing the likelihood of transmission. Farmatan supplemented in the milk has been shown to decrease the virus' ability to cause infection and clinical disease. The best treatment for calves already presenting clinical disease is to administer oral fluids/electrolytes to rehydrate the calf. Learn more about the positive effect of Farmatan's active ingredient HERE. Salmonella Salmonella infection of cattle is caused by a variety of species within the family. While the disease is uncommon in cattle with little effect on calf health, it has massive implications for human health and food safety. The bacteria spreads through direct contact or contaminated feed & water. This disease is highly regulated by the USDA. The most severe cases of salmonella affect calves between the ages of 7-10 days old. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Bloody (flakes of slough tissue), Watery, Mucus present Lethargic Fever Prevention/Treatment: Prevention is always the best option: provide clean water, feed, and bedding. Isolate infected animals, ensure adequate colostrum intake, and develop a vaccination program with your veterinarian. Treatment with antibiotics and fluids (oral or intravenous) greatly increases the survival rate of calves infected with Salmonella. Farmatan has been shown to help reduce the likelihood of infection by protecting the gut, and reduce recovery time of infected animals.  LEARN MORE ABOUT IMOGENE INGREDIENTS  PRODUCTS Paul Mitchell & Paul Martin on RFD TV Rural America Live!  Cattle Industry News USDA Gives Bleak Timeline For Mexico Cattle Restrictions According to MeatingPlace.Com, the USDA has confirmed there will be no holiday gifts for Mexican cattle producers this year. Earlier this month, APHIS restricted all Mexican animal commodity imports following the detection of New World screwworm (NWS) in a cow in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas. Mexico's chief veterinary officer alerted USDA in late November. Dr. Rosemary Sifford, the agency's chief veterinary officers, stated to media that APHIS's restrictions will “likely” remain in place through the holidays, with “full resumption of live animal movements” after incremental changes in early 2025. She went on to say that while the U.S. continues to work very closely with Mexico and has agreed to protocols, it will take some time to implement these due to multiple steps needed to resume trade. Additionally, USDA announced $165 million in emergency funding to protect U.S. livestock from NWS, which are fly larvae that infest living tissue and cause infection. Canada Plans For U.S. Trade War Canada's federal and state governments are planning measures in response to President-elect Donald Trump's threatened tariffs. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with provincial leaders to discuss retaliatory actions. Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said after the meeting that "a number of premiers spoke out strongly in favour of a robust Canadian response to unjustified tariffs." In a social media post last month, Trump accused Canada and Mexico of allowing drugs and illegal immigrants into the United States and vowed to slap a 25% tariff on imports from both neighbors immediately on taking office on Jan. 20. Such an act would contradict the 2020 US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), a modest update of the preceding North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which Trump signed during his previous term in the White House.   Low U.S. Beef Inventory Argues Against Tariffs A former Canadian Cattle Association president Dave Solverson has urged farmers north of the border to utilize their relationships with fellow beef producers to try to counter US President-elect Donald Trump's threatened tariffs. Solverson said with herds in both countries at their smallest in many decades, extending possible 25% tariffs on Canadian imports makes little sense in the beef business. He said sales of Canadian stock to U.S. packers and feedlot operators are an important source to fill in increasing production gaps especially in northern states, according to Solverson, who led the Canadian Cattle Association from 2014-16. Solverson recalled that the community of North American beef producers forged alliances a decade ago to oppose mandatory country-of-origin labelling. Those coalitions with both state and national producer groups “really proved beneficial for both sides,” he said. Canadian farmers were able to convince their U.S. counterparts “about how important it was that they could top up their pens with a good group of Canadian cattle.” Questions About USDA's Electronic EID Requirements Answered There are still lots of questions about USDA's Electronic EID requirements and if you are confused don't worry you are not alone. Merck Animal Health has fielded many questions about the new electronic (EID) rules for livestock moving across state lines. As a leading provider of EID tags and readers through their AllFlex Brand, Merck Animal Health is helping support cattle producers in their decision-making with expertise and solutions.  As part of that effort, Merck Animal Health has provided some clarity to the tagging system.  We have all of those links and easy to follow information HERE.  King Ranch Institute For Ranch Management Accepting Applicants for 2025 Wanting to make a change this upcoming year?  Well, we all do.

Helena Madden, Ruminant Veterinary Manager with MSD Animal Health, joins Stuart Childs on the latest Dairy Edge to discuss the new vaccine against Cryptosporidium, Bovilis Cryptium. Helena first discusses how crypto is consistently one of the main causes of calf scour and then explains how cleaver the parasite is at surviving. Billions of eggs (oocysts) are shed by sick calves but only 17 are required to cause infection!  Consequently, it can be a difficult disease to manage once it gets in the gate. Helena says the new vaccine is the product of 23 years of research which clearly shows the challenge that crypto poses at farm level that such effort was invested into finding a solution. However, it is still only part of the solution.  Cleaning and disinfection of sheds and good management of calf sheds is still important to minimise the challenge while the vaccine boosts the animals ability to resist infection. The vaccine requires a primary dose so it is important that people are aware of this as the final dose has to be given at least 3 weeks before calving to be effective so that will require some planning for farmers to ensure they have the primary course given on time to ensure the 2nd shot is given in sufficient time. Helena emphasises the importance of colostrum management both in terms of ensuring good quality and quantity of colostrum but also making sure the calves get the colostrum as early as possible and for this vaccine, it is recommended that they get colostrum/transition milk for the first 5 days at least to maximise the protection. For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/ The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com

In Destroy All Humans!, players assume the role of Cryptosporidium 137 (Crypto for short), a warrior and member of the Furons, a race of war-like extraterrestrials with a large empire constantly seizing new worlds through conquest. After centuries of warfare against inferior species using unchecked nuclear weaponry left their species impotent and without genitalia, the Furons were unable to sexually reproduce and became forced to turn to cloning as a means of reproduction, as well as a process by which to achieve immortality. However, after generations of clones, the Furon DNA is degrading, and each clone is becoming less and less stable.

In today's newscast, I look at an outbreak of cryptosporidium linked to raccoons at a Illinois wildlife rehab facility. I also talk a bit about the parasite.

Most people call it Crypto, and most people will have only mild diarrhea.  But don't be mistaken, not only can it ruin a trip, it is very contagious and many people can get it.  And some will get very sick.  Worse still, It is resistant to chlorine and iodine. Listen and learn how to prevent this parasite from entering your body. 

TWiP solves the case of the physician with no significant previous medical history who is currently doing their fellowship training develops diarrhea, and presents a new clinical case for our astute listeners to solve.

A man in his 50s has been reporting months of abdominal discomfort and decides to go discuss this situation with a local pharmacist. He describes this discomfort, some nausea, and some bloating of the abdomen. The pharmacist recommends that he take mebendazole. He takes the mebendazole and some time afterwards he vomits a worm into the sink. The worm does not have any obvious segmentation and appears completely nonsegmented and is moving around. One end is very pointy and the other little less so.   Send your questions and comments to twip@microbe.tv Music by Ronald Jenkees

What is cryptosporidium and what does it do?  - It's a parasite found in the gut of infected people. Also, animals such as cats, dogs, cattle, and sheep.  - Basically, it's a nasty ‘stomach bug', if you get infected it causes a nasty stomach infection.  - Gives you painful stomach cramps, really smelly diarrhoea, and nausea.    How do you get it and can we treat it?  Infected people or animals pass it on through infected poo, we basically swallow the parasite:  - Contact with infected people or animals  - Drinking water becomes infected  - Food after food preparation with hands that are contaminated.  - Swimming in shared water such as swimming pools, paddling pools, or infected beaches, rivers.  Generally, we don't treat it, antibiotics generally don't help. We advise things such as Panadol and medication to stop stomach cramps. It's really important to keep fluid levels up so you don't become dehydrated, especially children.    What do we do to prevent it?  - It's really important not to spread it or catch it!  - The basics: don't spread it, wash hands for 20 seconds with soap and hot water then dry:  -After going to toilet -Before you prepare food. -Have contact with animals, after gardening, caring with someone with diarrhoea, or changing babies' nappies    Other thing to note: - The parasite hangs around in your body for 14 days after your symptoms clear up.  - Don't  swim in swimming pools for 14 days after an infection – you can spread it for up to two weeks!!  -Also, when signs go up at beach or river not to swim, don't. Means there's a sewage leak and you can contract cryptosporidium.  -Certainly, if you are concerned contact your general practice or medical centre.    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over 200 years ago Louis Pasteur was born in Dole, France. Among Pasteur's major contributions and their benefit to society, the most important is the heat treatment of foods and beverages to reduce spoilage and eliminate pathogens for consumers. Probably the greatest achievement of Pasteur was the process that bears the name of this famous scientist who perfected the technique: pasteurization. For liquids, this process does not involve boiling the product to sterility but simply applying just enough heat (ie, par-boiling) to 50–60°C for a specified period to reduce spoilage microbes and potential pathogens. Pathogenic microbes have a lower heat tolerance than most other bacteria. Recognizing that many individuals, from the highly educated to the peasantry, were aware of the effect, it took someone like Pasteur to formalize this knowledge into specific time-temperature standards to assure consistency.  Unpasteurized foods are sold even though they have not been treated with high temperatures. Foods that haven't been pasteurized include:  raw milk some artisanal cheeses some unpasteurized versions of juices and meats Many food safety concerns and a high risk of foodborne illness are associated with eating unpasteurized foods, although there may be a few benefits. Still, evidence indicates that the health risks appear to outweigh any potential benefits in most cases. Here are the benefits and downsides of unpasteurized food products. Benefits of eating unpasteurized foods Unpasteurized food is more likely to retain its organoleptic properties and may sometimes have greater nutritional value. The term “organoleptic properties” refers to the food's taste, appearance, and smell. Exposure to high temperatures during pasteurization not only kills harmful bacteria and viruses in foods. It may also negatively affect the nutritional quality, appearance, and flavor of the food. For instance, some research demonstrated that pasteurization reduced the protective antibodies and immune-supportive vitamin C and zinc in donor human milk.  However, other research shows that these nutrient losses in human milk are minor and that the benefits of pasteurization are greater than the risks.  Downsides of eating unpasteurized foods Unpasteurized foods are associated with the occurrence of foodborne illnesses from bacteria, such as Brucella, Cryptosporidium, Listeria monocytogenes, and antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. In particular, scientific literature frequently mentions that unpasteurized milk and dairy products are particularly high risk foods and common causes of these foodborne illnesses.  These bacterial infections may last from days to weeks. Effects range from mild symptoms — like fever, diarrhea, vomiting, muscle aches, abdominal pain, and poor appetite — to severe outcomes like miscarriage and even death.  Unpasteurized foods present even greater health risks and are more dangerous to people with compromised immune systems, such as older adults, pregnant people, young children, and those with health conditions like cancer. Summary Unpasteurized foods are slightly more likely to retain natural tastes, appearances, flavors, and nutrients, but they are strongly associated with foodborne illnesses. Evidence indicates that the risks of consuming unpasteurized foods greatly outweigh the benefits, especially for immune-compromised people.  (CREDITS)

EPISODE 168 DETAILS Everyone has their breed of choice.  For whatever reason and experiences we've had, has led many of us picking certain breeds over others.  Today we explore the philosophy and goals around Wasem Red Angus.   Calving season is getting ready to start for many producers and for some others it is still a ways away yet.  Regardless, we need to get a jump on scours and make sure each and every calf that hits the ground has the best chance of survival.  A simple solution… FARMATAN from Imogene Ingredients.   As always we have the latest market reports and recaps from Kirk Donsbach with Stone X Financial, Inc. along with news and updates you need to hear.  It's all covered on this brand new episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show!   WASEM RED ANGUS The Wasem family started ranching in 2004 in Halliday, North Dakota with a small herd of commercial Red Angus and Simmental cows. They decided to get into the registered Red Angus business and held their first bull sale in 2012.  Each year they keep back the best registered heifers to expand the registered herd and to improve our genetics.  They strive to offer cattle with power and performance through balanced EPD's and phenotype.  Disposition is a must in the herd.  They are proud to be selling Red Angus Bulls in North Dakota. They welcome you out any time to look at cattle. Family Business Here at Wasem Red Angus, we are truly a family operation.  Each one of us has a job on the ranch and work together to make the operation a success.  Chris is in charge of many of the daily tasks, including feeding, planting, and harvesting.  Jolyn works on record-keeping and marketing.  Kacee is the number 2 cook in the house, quickly making her way to the top.  Braelyn is the one who makes us all laugh.  There are many days on the ranch, we need a good laugh!  The girls have been a huge asset working cattle the past few years, they are learning about low-stress livestock handling, as well as becoming good horsemen.  We wouldn't be able to get everything done without the help of family, friends, and neighbors throughout the year and we are grateful for those relationships.  Customer Service Customer service is really important to us. The relationships we build don't end the day of the sale. We stand behind the Red Angus Bulls we sell, and your happiness is important! WHAT CAUSES SCOURS IN BEEF CATTLE/CALVES Clostridia-Enterotoxemia The most common form of Clostridium in cattle is caused by Clostridia perfringens. The gram-positive bacteria are a challenge due to its ability to form spores and lay dormant for long-periods of time. The bacteria reproduce by releasing spores into its environment (soil, feed, manure). The spores can even lay dormant in the animal's intestine until opportunity presents itself. Infection takes place either through ingestion of spores or through an open wound. The most severe cases happen within the first month of a calf's life, and can result in sudden death. Clinical Signs • Diarrhea - Bloody, Mucus Present, Bubbly • Dehydrated • Bloat • Blindness Prevention/Treatment: Prevention can be difficult due to the Clostridia spores being extremely durable and present almost everywhere. Complete cleanout and disinfection between calves is helpful, but not always effective. A good vaccination program will reduce clinical disease. The best method is to develop good gut health and the immune system of the calf. Farmatan has been shown to strengthen the intestinal wall, helping to prevent infection from taking hold. Coccidiosis Cattle are host to numerous species of Coccidia, a single-celled protozoal parasite. Infection and clinical symptoms can happen any time during a calf's life, with the most severe reaction usually occurring between 3-6 weeks of age. The life-cycle of coccidia requires time to infect the intestine causing destruction of the mucosal and epithelial lining. The oocytes mature outside the host in warm, moist environments before being consumed, causing infection of a new host. Clinical Signs • Diarrhea - Watery, Bloody • Depression • Weight Loss Prevention/Treatment: Prevention of Coccidiosis is possible by keeping young calves separate from older animals, providing clean water and feed, and dry conditions. Isolation of infected animals is key to preventing transmission. Keeping the pen dry is the most important step a farmer/rancher can take in preventing Coccidiosis. Treatment can have a good impact on reducing secondary disease, and speeding up recovery time. Farmatan has been shown to disrupt the reproductive cycle of Coccidia; and may help strengthen the intestinal wall to prevent infection, in both the cow and calf. Coronavirus Bovine Coronavirus is a ubiquitous, envelope-viral disease, causing respiratory and enteric infection. There are many serotypes for this virus, making it difficult to test for, and create a vaccine. Coronavirus can present as either diarrhea and/or respiratory illness; transmitted through nasal discharge and/or feces. Animal reservoirs continue to spread the disease, and make eradication almost impossible. Clinical disease will likely occur between days 10-14, and present for up to 4 days. Clinical Signs • Diarrhea - Watery • Nasal Discharge • Coughing Prevention/Treatment: Prevention is difficult due to wild animals transmitting the disease. Keeping wild animals out of animal enclosures is essential. Isolation of infected animals is critical to preventing the spread of Coronavirus. Adequate colostrum intake, along with a good vaccination program will help prevent clinical disease. Learn more about the positive effects of Farmtan's active ingredient on Coronavirus HERE. Cryptosporidium Cryptosporidium Parvum is a single-celled parasite responsible for causing infection in young calves. The infection takes place within the first four weeks of a calves' life, afterwards immunity has developed within the calf. The parasite is either passed from the cow or spread through infected water sources. Clinical Signs • Diarrhea - Watery, Bloody, Mucus present • Colic • Depression Prevention/Treatment: Good sanitary conditions, especially clean water is essential in preventing transmission of cryptosporidium. Isolation of sick calves will help reduce the effect on the overall herd. There is some good effect of calves given adequate colostrum, however this is likely helping by reducing other pathogenic loads rather than a direct effect on Cryptosporidium, itself. Farmatan fed prior to calving has been shown to disrupt the life-cycle and reduce transmission from the cow. The direct action of Farmatan on the parasite makes it an excellent choice for treating calves. Learn more about the positive effect of Farmatan's active ingredient HERE. E. Coli Escherichia Coli is a bacterial infection that affects calves within the first week of their life. The bacteria colonize in the lower intestine and produce a toxin. The toxin causes excessive secretion of fluids. The zoonotic disease has special importance in food safety and human health. Colostrum and natural immunity are often not sufficient in preventing infection in cases of high bacterial concentrations. Clinical Signs • Diarrhea - Creamy, Yellow • Abdominal Pains • Fever • Vomiting Prevention/Treatment: The best prevention methods for E. Coli include: clean water, dry bedding/environment, isolation of infected animals, and vaccination. Treatment with antibiotics and oral fluids have great benefits in reducing clinical symptoms of the disease. Farmatan has been shown to reduce bacterial load and help prevent infection. Learn more about the positive effects of Farmatan's active ingredient HERE. Rotavirus Rotavirus in calves is caused by a virus belonging to the Reoviridae family, as a non-enveloped RNA virus. Rotavirus is thought to be the most common cause of neonatal diarrhea in calves. The virus tends to affect calves between the age of 1-day-old up to a month, with most cases presenting within the first week of life. Shedding and reinfection can happen in older calves and cows. Clinical symptoms are rarely present after the first month of life; older animals tend to either be carriers or asymptomatic. The majority of herds have some level present, with transmission likely happening during or shortly after birth. Clinical Signs • Diarrhea - Pale Yellow, Bloody • Dehydrated • Dull calves • Reluctant to drink Prevention/Treatment: The ideal scenario is to prevent infection through, sanitary facilities (calving barn), outdoor calf housing, and a good vaccination program. Colostrum will provide much needed antibodies, protecting the calf before their immune system is fully developed to combat the disease. Farmatan fed prior to calving can help reduce the pathogen load of the cow, reducing the likelihood of transmission. Farmatan supplemented in the milk has been shown to decrease the virus' ability to cause infection and clinical disease. The best treatment for calves already presenting clinical disease is to administer oral fluids/electrolytes to rehydrate the calf. Learn more about the positive effect of Farmatan's active ingredient HERE. Salmonella Salmonella infection of cattle is caused by a variety of species within the family. While the disease is uncommon in cattle with little effect on calf health, it has massive implications for human health and food safety. The bacteria spreads through direct contact or contaminated feed & water. This disease is highly regulated by the USDA. The most severe cases of salmonella affect calves between the ages of 7-10 days old. Clinical Signs • Diarrhea - Bloody (flakes of slough tissue), Watery, Mucus present • Lethargic • Fever Prevention/Treatment: Prevention is always the best option: provide clean water, feed, and bedding. Isolate infected animals, ensure adequate colostrum intake, and develop a vaccination program with your veterinarian. Treatment with antibiotics and fluids (oral or intravenous) greatly increases the survival rate of calves infected with Salmonella. Farmatan has been shown to help reduce the likelihood of infection by protecting the gut, and reduce recovery time of infected animals.  LEARN MORE ABOUT IMOGENE INGREDIENTS  PRODUCTS Paul Mitchell & Paul Martin on RFD TV Rural American Live!  FEATURING Chris Wasem, Wasem Red Angus https://www.wasemredangus.com/ @WasemReds   Paul Mitchell Imogene Ingredients https://www.imogeneingredients.com/farmatanusa @farmatanusa   Kirk Donsbach: Stone X Financial https://www.stonex.com/   @StoneXGroupInc      Mark Van Zee  Livestock Market, Equine Market, Auction Time https://www.auctiontime.com/ https://www.livestockmarket.com/ https://www.equinemarket.com/ @LivestockMkt @EquineMkt @AuctionTime   Shaye Koester Casual Cattle Conversation https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/ @cattleconvos Questions & Concerns From The Field?

Queenstown is waiting on a final signoff before lifting the town's boil water notice. Businesses and residents have been required to boil tap water for almost three months, after a breakout of cryptosporidium. UV treatment equipment has been installed at the Two Mile water supply. Mayor Glyn Lewers says all they need now is water regulator Taumata Arowai to give the green light. "We've done our bit by putting in the UV disinfection area, we've flushed the system, we've cleaned the tanks- so yeah, we're just waiting."

The Queenstown Lakes District Council is on the brink of lifting its boil water notice. After a breakout of the cryptosporidium parasite in the resort town back in the middle of September 2023 residents and businesses were required to boil their tap water. That boil water notice has remained to today for those in and around the CBD as the council worked to install UV water treatment equipment at its Two Mile water supply. The council says that work is now done and it is awaiting confirmation from water regulator Taumata Arowai that it can lift the boil water notice.

Dr. Jenkins sits down with Dr. James Bogan, Director of the Orianne Center for Indigo Conservation and Central Florida Zoo. They have an in depth discussion of Cryptosporidium (Crypto) in snakes. First, they talk about the disease itself and how it impacts snakes. Second, they discuss how to test for it and treat it. They also discuss how Crypto has been found in the captive population of indigo snakes that is being used for their conservation and how they have effectively managed it to prevent its spread within the captive colony and into the wild. If you are interested in snakes either in the wild or captivity, or if you are interested in conservation or diseases this is one you don't want to miss.Connect with James at the Central Florida Zoo.Connect with Chris on Facebook, Instagram or at The Orianne Society.Shop Snake Talk merch.

Authorities are no closer to finding the source of Queenstown's cryptosporidium outbreak. Te Whatu Ora has confirmed 56 cases, 12 probable cases, and eight under investigation. The Council says the parasite has not been detected in repeated tests across the water network, but residents are still being told to boil their drinking water in the meantime. The Council is planning to isolate the areas served by the Kelvin Heights water treatment plant this week - so part of the town will be able to drink from the tap again. Steve Taylor from the national water regulator, Taumata Arowai, spoke to Corin Dann.

A parasitology research lab specialising in testing drugs for cryptosporidium is closing due to a lack of funding. This in the same week a cryptosporidium outbreak plagues Queenstown residents with still no clear understanding of the source. University of Otago parasitology professor Bruce Russell spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The cryptosporidium outbreak in Queenstown highlights the challenges of providing a clean water supply.  Why is it so difficult to make our drinking water safe?

Queenstown hospitality venues are finding ways to deal with the boil water notice, as tourists stream in for the school holidays. There have now been 31 confirmed cases of the cryptosporidium gastro bug among residents and visitors to the town in the past month. The local health boss has admitted there'll be more that haven't been reported. But businesses and tourists are making sure the boil water notice doesn't get in the way of a good holiday. Niva Chittock reports from Queenstown.

Destination Queenstown says the town is buoyant and busy, despite the weekend storm and the cryptosporidium outbreak. It's a crucial time as people head into the resort for the school holidays, providing income to tide businesses over until Summer. As residents and holiday makers are forced to boil their water, the search continues for the source of the cryptosporidium, which has so far infected at least 31 people. Destination Queenstown chief executive Mat Woods spoke to Corin Dann.

The investigation into a cryptosporidium outbreak in Queenstown has moved focus away from the town's water supply. Confirmed cases of cryptosporidium in Queenstown are now at 30, with a further 16 under investigation. Authorities are still trying to discover the source and how the infection spread. Mayor Glyn Lewers says CBD businesses are now the focus of the investigation. Southern medical officer of health Susan Jack spoke to Corin Dann.

Queenstown businesses are bracing themselves for tough times ahead with the town potentially having to boil water for months.   The area's in the grip of an outbreak of infections from a waterborne parasite.  Known cases of the cryptosporidium illness have reached 21, and the national water regulators have slapped a compliance notice on the region.   Queenstown Chamber of Commerce CEO Sharon Fifield told Mike Hosking that businesses are managing things at the moment.   Adding to the misery, a state of emergency has just been declared in Queenstown due to the weather.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Queenstown's mayor says putting filters on regional water sources is expensive. The area is in the grips of an outbreak of infections from a waterborne parasite. Known cases of cryptosporidium illness have reached 21 - and the boil water notice could last for months. The national water regulator has slapped a compliance notice on the region. Mayor Glyn Lewers says there are a lot of water intakes, and six don't have filters. "There is a cost element to it but there is a progressive program at work, and we try to manage those costs because of the rate burden on our ratepayers."

The number of cases of cryptosporidium in Queenstown is now 18 and the district council has told media it is rushing to get a UV filter for one of its 2 mile water treatment plant. But the mayor Glyn Lewers does not expect to have an action plan for that before the end of next week meaning a prolonged boil water notice for residents and businesses. Crux managing editor Peter Newport was at the press conference. He joins Kathryn.

The official number of crook tummies in Queenstown is on the rise, but locals fear there could be even more to come as the tourist hub grapples with a boil water notice. There are now 17 confirmed cases of the parasitic illness cryptosporidium in the Queenstown area, two more than 24 hours ago. Checkpoint's spoken to many locals today who've had sore tummies or have, become very well acquainted with their loos over the past couple of weeks, but haven't been to the doctor. A boil water notice remains in place for several areas of the town, although authorities are yet to confirm whether the illness is linked to the water supply. Regardless the outbreak is causing huge disruptions for businesses; they can't use tap water for things like cleaning, coffee machines, and ice not to mention the staff who are staying home crook. Our reporter Louise Ternouth and camera operator are in Queenstown.

New Zealand's rates of cryptosporidium infections are twice as high as Australia's, three times the UK's, and 10 times higher than the US. And a leading researcher on parasites says there is much more we can do to help keep people, and animals, safe and healthy. The national water authority Taumata Arowai has served Queenstown Lakes District Council with a compliance notice because its Two Mile water treatment plant does not have a protozoa barrier, which would prevent parasites entering the supply. As a result the district's boil water notice will stay in place until such a barrier is installed - and the rest of the network is proven safe. University of Otago parasitologist Bruce Russell spoke to Corin Dann.

The national water regulator has slapped a compliance notice on one of Queenstown's water treatment plants, after reports of people in Queenstown falling ill for weeks. There are now 17 confirmed cases of cryptosporidium in the area, and a boil water notice is in place. The water regulator, Taumata Arowai, served a compliance order on the council for its Two Mile treatment plant. The plant doesn't have a protozoa barrier, such as UV treatment, to stop the parasite cryptosporidium entering the water supply. The regulator says the Kelvin Heights treatment plant does have a protozoa barrier, but there are doubts that it is working. Queenstown Lakes District Council mayor Glyn Lewers spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Officials in Queenstown are working to find the source of a cryptosporidium outbreak in the resort town, with 15 known cases in the town as of Tuesday evening. 

Health officials will be keeping a close eye today to see how many more reports emerge of a gastro illness in Queenstown. There have been 15 confirmed cases of cryptosporidium in the tourist town. A boil-water notice is in place, although there has been no confirmed link with the public water supply. Medical Officer of Health for the southern region Dr Michael Butchard spoke to Corin Dann.

Queenstown residents are being told to boil their water, after at least eight cases of cryptosporidium - a parasite causing gastro-intestinal illness - have been confirmed in the area. The notice covers all properties connected by the Council's Queenstown supply - including Fernhill, Sunshine Bay, Queenstown Hill, Queenstown CBD, Frankton, Quail Rise and Tucker Beach Rd, Kelvin Heights and Hanley's Farm. Water treatment engineer Iain Rabbits spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Since the beginning of human life, we've been getting sick. Plagues and epidemics have run through populations, with obvious ones like the Black Plague knocking off huge swaths of the population. But even with modern technology we fall victim to outbreaks of disease. In the late 20th century the largest waterborne disease epidemic in United State's history struck, known as the Milwaukee Cryptosporidium outbreak of 1993. Want to support the show? You can!

每日英語跟讀 Ep.K344: Soap and water kills viruses better than alcohol   During the COVID-19 pandemic, the government has been promoting frequent hand washing, so many people carry dry hand sanitizer or alcohol disinfectant around with them. Pulmonologist and critical care medicine physician Ooi Hean says that dry hand sanitizer or 75 percent alcohol cannot take the place of hand washing with soap, because alcohol cannot eliminate all viruses. 在COVID-19大流行期間，政府一直在推廣經常洗手，因此許多人隨身攜帶乾洗手液或酒精消毒劑。肺病學家和重症監護醫生Ooi Hean說，乾洗手液或75%的酒精不能代替用肥皂洗手，因為酒精不能消除所有病毒。 On his Facebook page, Ooi says that alcohol with a concentration of 70 percent to 95 percent can break down the viral membrane of SARS-CoV-2 and render it harmless. He recommends that when you cannot wash your hands properly, you can sanitize them with alcohol, but that does not mean that all viruses and bacteria will disappear by rubbing with 75 percent alcohol. 在他的Facebook頁面上，Ooi說，濃度為70%至95%的酒精可以分解SARS-CoV-2的病毒膜並使其無害。他建議，當你不能正確洗手時，你可以用酒精消毒它們，但這並不意味著所有的病毒和細菌都會通過用75%的酒精擦拭而消失。 Ooi says that enterovirus, norovirus, rhinovirus, poliovirus, hepatitis A virus, foot-and-mouth disease virus and human papillomavirus cannot be eliminated by alcohol, and neither can bacteria such as Bacillus or parasites such as Cryptosporidium. Ooi 說，腸道病毒，諾如病毒，鼻病毒，脊髓灰質炎病毒，甲型肝炎病毒，口蹄疫病毒和人瘤病毒不能被酒精消除，細菌如芽孢桿菌或寄生蟲如隱孢子蟲也不能被消除。 He says that “regular hand washing” means washing them with soap and water, which will help you avoid spreading the viruses and bacteria that alcohol cannot eliminate to your family members or other people. Ooi said that rubbing your hands with 75 percent alcohol is only for emergency use when there is no soap available, and it cannot completely replace washing your hands with soap in your daily life. 他說，「定期洗手」意味著用肥皂和水清洗它們，這將有助於你避免將酒精無法消除的病毒和細菌傳播給你的家人或其他人。Ooi說，用75%酒精搓手只有在沒有肥皂可用的情況下才有緊急使用，不能完全取代日常生活中用肥皂洗手。Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2022/03/12/2003774604

This episode explores the differences between disinfection, sterilization, and inactivation. We also touch on the Pasteurization. The podcast also discusses the use and need of the "multiple barrier" approach to water treatment to prevent disease transmitted through potable water. We discuss past water borne disease outbreaks of Typhus and Cholera in Chicago, Illinois in the mid-1800's and from Cryptosporidium in Milwaukee Wisconsin in 1993 and what has been done to prevent such outbreaks today.

Visit evanbrand.com for consultations worldwide. There are countless bacteria found everywhere we go, but a big percentage of them can be found in water. Cryptosporidium is a prominent parasite with a waterborne infection transmission route. Low levels of this parasite were also detected in drinking water. Join us in this podcast as Dr. Justin Marchegiani and Evan talk about Cryptosporidium parasite species, how it can be acquired, and how it can be prevented through water filtration systems.

This episode answers questions related to dry eyes, 6th nerve palsy, nearsightedness, floaters, parasites in the eyes, polarized lenses and NAION. Question 1 0:00 - 8:39 Dear Dr. Berne, please let me know if the MSM eye drops would help to ease my dry eyes, as well as my left eye, slightly swollen inferior eyelid. I have a discharge from my left eye that is white and sticky. I also have daily sinus headaches. Question 2 8:39 - 15:43 I was diagnosed with 6th nerve palsy. This has been the hardest challenge that life has presented me with. It's been more than 3 months since my diagnose. My doctor told me it would take 3-6 months to heal. I've started the healing process, but I am wondering if there is anything I can do to help with it. Please advise. Question 3 15:43 - 23:59 I've seen your videos on your youtube channel, and I wanted to ask about nearsightedness. I wear -0.75 diopters in the right eye and -1.00 diopters in the left eye. I came across your video on how the use of plus lenses can cause a very strong myopic defocus. I tried it today, and I did see a very temporary improvement. What else do you recommend? Thank you very much! Question 4 23:59 - 28:32 I have Iritis in my right eye and floaters in my left. Can/Should I use these MSM drops in both eyes? Question 5 28:32 - 34:00 What are your thoughts on parasites in the eyes? Do you have a protocol to remove them? I'm on a parasite cleanse. I'm having Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and yeast. Every month my eyes will get styes that are huge and half side of my face will become swollen. It can take up to a month to disappear, and I'll end up with a marble size hardball on my eyelid. The strange thing is I've never had a stye until I started this parasite cleanse. It's like they are migrating to my eyes. I've been to 2 ophthalmologists, and they say I have dry eyes, and that I need to take antibiotics. I love your videos, but I've not seen you cover this topic. Thank you for your time and thoughts! Question 6 34:00 - 38:57 Can you tell me about the issue with polarized lenses? Question 7 38:57 - 44:57 Do you have any experience with people with NAION?
