Abomasal ulcers in milking cows — the mysterious disease

Abomasal ulcers in milking cows — the mysterious disease

Encouraging cows to eat forage is essential to help buffer the acid in the stomach and I recommend avoiding concentrates due to possible spikes in abomasal pH.

Last week was busy with Dad away on his holidays in Dingle but I can confirm the farm is still standing. 

The cow's cough is improving, it will take a week to 10 days for it to settle. If you experience a similar “re-infection syndrome” in your herd and it doesn’t resolve post-dosing, more diagnostics may be necessary.
