16: Why Do Liver Abscesses Plague Both Dairy and Feedlot Cattle?
Got A Question or Comment? Send us a Text Message!
Today’s podcast digs into the dogma and new thinking about liver abscess development in feedlot and dairy cattle. The entire June 2024 Journal of Applied Animal Science was devoted to the liver abscess phenomena which is estimated to cost the US beef packing industry at least $400 million dollars each year. While liver abscesses in traditional beef and beef X dairy feedlot cattle have been linked to high-starch diets and ruminal acidosis, Rezac et al (2014) suggests similar liver abscess incidence in lactating dairy cows, which suggests re-evaluation of this problem and the potential link to intestinal integrity issues in young calves due to early-life health problems like scours.
Tune in for this literature review with Agrarian Solutions Vice President of Nutrition Dr. Larry Roth, and learn how early intervention to defend and protect cattle from day one can reduce the prevalence of liver abscesses and improve herd health.
