Ag department urges cattle monitoring
The Greeley Tribune
The Colorado Department of Agriculture encourages cattle owners to monitor their herds for Bovine Trichomoniasis, a costly, yet preventable, infection that can affect dairy and beef cattle.
Bovine Trichomoniasis — trich — is a venereal disease of cattle caused by Trichomonas foetus. The T. foetus infection causes fertility problems, such as early embryonic death or abortion of the calf, and is asymptomatic in bulls. Infected bulls can infect cows during breeding season; the infection will clear in cows but there is no cure for infected bulls.
