Managing the health of your young stock is an integral part of any successful dairy or beef operation. A growing threat to Central NY producers is Salmonella Dublin, presenting in calves as high fevers and respiratory problems and resulting in high mortality rates. Beef and dairy producers alike should be on the look out for this escalating organism that has the potential to effect producer’s health as well. On Wednesday March 27th from 12pm to 3pm at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oneida County, Melanie Hemenway from NY State Cattle Health Assurance Program will inform producers on what to look for, costs, management and prevention practices associated with Salmonella Dublin.
