Health Risks, Production Loss and Reproductive Stress

Heat stress can have a major impact on the health, produc on and reproduc ve success of your herd. Based on a milk price of $13/cwt, researchers calculated annual losses of $897 million for the dairy industry in the United States even if producers used fans, sprinklers, high‐pressure evapora ve cooling, and other heat abatement strategies to alleviate summer stress. This loss is almost $100 per dairy cow per year. If no heat abatement systems are used, the total annual loss would be $1.5 billion, or about $167 per dairy cow per year. Most dairy cows start to experience heat stress at temperatures over 70 degrees or a heat index (a combina on of heat and humidity) of about 68 degrees. This heat stress can cause a loss in appe te, which can lead to a drop in milk produc on by 10 to 20 percent. Milk fat and protein yield also can decrease. Heat stress also suppresses the immune system, leading to increased suscep bility and severity of common diseases, such as mas s, retained placenta and metri s, along with higher probability for metabolic diseases like ketosis and displaced abomasum.

When cows are hot, they will a empt cooling maneuvers by con nually moving around or standing, thus impac ng the needed res ng me for health sustainability well‐being and overall produc vity. The table below shows the es mated annual produc on and economic losses for dairy cows and dura on of heat stress periods using minimal heat abatement strategies in Wisconsin (St‐Pierre et al. 2003). Heat can also have long‐term effects on reproduc ve suppression and lowered fer liza on rates. In fact, reproduc on suffers more from heat stress than milk produc on. According to Sartori et al. (2002), inseminated heat‐stressed cows experienced a 55 percent fer liza on rate, 33 percent lower than inseminated cows that were not heat stressed.

Managing Contagious Mastitis

A PRACTICAL LOOK AT CONTROLLING CONTAGIOUS MASTITIS 1. Prepare teats properly prior to milking. Udders should be dry, and teats should be cleaned and dried prior to machine a achment using single‐service paper towels or individual cloth towels that have been laundered and dried a er each milking. Nitrile milking gloves help prevent the spread of bacteria, and CRI Nitrile Milking Gloves are ahead of the compe on with their textured surface for enhanced performance, offering an advantage with superior non‐slip gripping power.

2. Use adequately sized, properly func oning milking equipment. Use milking machines in a proper manner on properly prepared cows. Avoid unnecessary air admission into the teat cups during unit a achment, machine stripping and unit take‐off that can cause irregular vacuum fluctua ons.

3. Disinfect teats. Use an effec ve product a er every milking. Postmilking teat disinfec on is the single most effec ve prac ce to reduce the rate of new infec on by contagious pathogens.

4. Assess clinical cases for treatment decisions. Most cases of clinical mas s other than those caused by Strep ag are only minimally affected by an bio c therapy during lacta on. Work together with the herd veterinarian to design a treatment protocol for mild, moderate and severe cases of clinical mas s.

5. Use dry cow therapy. Treat each quarter of every cow at dry off with a single dose of a commercially formulated, FDA‐approved dry cow treatment product.

6. Consider culling chronically infected cows. Cows infected with Staph aureus or Mycoplasma spp. are difficult to treat and present a risk to noninfected cows in the herd. There is no treatment for Mycoplasma spp. infected cows.

7. Implement a biosecurity plan. If new animals are purchased, culture milk from them before adding them to the herd.

8. Establish an ac ve milk quality program. A key to controlling contagious mas s is iden fying carriers so they can be separated from uninfected herdmates. AgSource offers individual cow cultures to accomplish

this goal. Monitoring progress also is essen al. AgSource’s DHI tes ng and Udder Health Management Package allows you to measure individual cow and herd subgroup trends. These tools provide faster and more accurate feedback on your herd’s progress than monitoring your bulk tank soma c cell count. It also is important to con nue with regular and frequent bulk tank cultures, available from AgSource, to monitor progress against targeted mas s bacteria. Achievable goals for controlling contagious mas s include: 0 percent of cows infected with Strep ag and Mycoplasma spp.; and less than 5 percent of cows infected with Staph aureus.

A SNAPSHOT OF CONTAGIOUS MASTITIS PATHOGENS Mas s causing bacteria can be divided into two groups based on the source of infec on and include contagious and environmental pathogens. The major contagious pathogens are Streptococcus agalac ae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Mycoplasma species. With the excep on of some mycoplasmal infec ons that may originate in other body sites and spread systemically, these three organisms gain entrance into the mammary gland through the teat canal. Contagious organisms are well adapted to survival and growth in the mammary gland and frequently cause infec ons las ng weeks, months or years. Streptococcus agalac ae Strep ag can be controlled and eradicated from a herd by good milking prac ces including proper udder prepara on using single use towels, post‐milking teat dip and trea ng and segrega ng infected animals. This is one of the few organisms that responds very well to most commercial intramammary an bio c products in both the lacta ng and dry period. However, if a chronic infec on does not respond to therapy, the cow should be culled to prevent infec ng other cows. Strep ag eradica on is rela vely easy and cost‐effec ve. By culturing cows to determine their infec on status, infected animals can be treated effec vely to eliminate the bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus Staph aureus commonly produces long‐las ng infec ons persis ng through the lacta on and into subsequent lacta ons. Staph aureus infected cows should be iden fied and milked last, or milked with a separate unit from those used on uninfected cows. An bio c therapy during lacta on usually does not eliminate infec on. Infected quarters not responding to a single regimen of

Managing Environmental Mastitis

therapy are generally unresponsive to addi onal lacta on treatment, regardless of culture and sensi vity tests. Dry cow therapy may give be er results than treatment during lacta on, but even then, chronic infec ons can persist into subsequent lacta ons. Staph aureus infec on status of cows should be one of the considera ons when making culling decisions. Mycoplasma species There is no effec ve treatment for mycoplasma mas s, but the disease can be controlled by iden fying infected animals through culturing milk samples from all cows in

the herd, followed by segrega on and/or culling the infected animals. If Mycoplasma spp. infected cows remain in the herd, they should be milked last or with a separate unit from those used on uninfected cows. Rigid sanitary precau ons must be followed including the use of single‐use towels. Mycoplasma spp. does not respond to an bio c therapy during the lacta on or dry period so infected cows should be culled.

A PRACTICAL LOOK AT CONTROLLING ENVIRONMENTAL MASTITIS 1. Udder prepara on. Milking cows with wet udders and

teats is likely to increase the incidence of environmental mas s. Teats should be clean and dry prior to a aching the milking unit. When udders are extremely dirty and warrant a thorough cleansing, washing the teats, not the udder, is recommended. The cracks and crevices of the human hand serve as excellent places to harbor and/or transfer bacteria to the teat. Nitrile gloves help prevent the spread of bacteria while protec ng the hand. CRI Nitrile Milking Gloves are ahead of the compe on with their textured surface for enhanced performance, offering an advantage with superior non‐slip gripping power.

2. Predipping. Predipping teats with a germicidal teat dip

reduces new cases of environmental mas s during lacta on. Extreme cau on should be taken to ensure the teat dip is removed from the teats before milking machine a achment to prevent contamina ng the milk.

3. Milking Machine Func on. Malfunc oning milking

machines, which result in frequent liner slips and teat impacts, can increase cases of environmental mas s.

4. Immuniza on. Immunizing cows during the dry period

with an Escherichia coli J‐5 bacterin will reduce the number and severity of coliform clinical cases during early lacta on.

5. Lacta ng Cow Therapy. Cure rates following therapy

during lacta on are generally about 50 to 60 percent for the environmental streptococci. An bio cs recently approved for lacta on therapy can be

effec ve against coliform mas s. Iden fying the causa ve agent of each mas s infec on is key to properly managing the milk quality of your herd. AgSource offers individual cow cultures to effec vely accomplish this goal. Monitoring progress is also essen al. AgSource’s Udder Health Management Package allows you to measure individual cow and herd subgroup trends. The New Infec on column (highlighted in blue) in Block C of the Udder Health Management Summary is the best measure of test day to test day progress. The first test (5‐40 Days) in the second and greater lacta on sec on of Block C provides an accurate es mate of mas s that may be a ributed to your dry cow management program and/or environmental mas s. These tools give faster and more accurate feedback on your progress than watching your bulk tank SCC. It also is important to con nue with regular and frequent bulk tank cultures, also offered by AgSource, to monitor progress against targeted mas s bacteria.

6. Diet. Feeding diets deficient in vitamins A or E,

betacarotene, or the trace minerals selenium, copper, and zinc will result in an increased incidence of environmental mas s.

7. Dry Cow Therapy. Dry cow therapy and use of

Orbeseal® on all quarters of all cows is recommended. Together, these prac ces significantly reduce new infec ons during the early dry period. Dry cow therapy alone does not control coliform infec ons.

8. Environmental Management. Herd environments

should be as dry and clean as possible. The environment of the dry, close up and fresh cow is as important as that of the lacta ng cow.


A SNAPSHOT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MASTITIS PATHOGENS Mas s causing bacteria can be divided into two large groups based on the site of infec on: environmental pathogens and contagious pathogens. Primary environmental pathogens include coliforms, streptococci other than Strep ag, and staphylococci other than Staph aureus. The primary source of environmental pathogens is the surroundings in which a cow lives. Therefore, control methods developed for contagious pathogens are not as effec ve against environmental pathogens. Coliform The coliform bacteria which o en cause mas s include Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca and Enterobacter aerogenes. Coliform infec on rates are about four mes greater during the dry period than during lacta on. The rate is significantly higher during the first two weeks of the dry period, as well as the two weeks before calving. The infec on rate is highest in the early stage of lacta on and decreases as lacta on advances. Infec on rates increase with each succeeding lacta on. Accurate records of new clinical cases, together with milk cultures from clinically infected quarters, help assess the extent of coliform mas s. Unfortunately, this impact is not as easy to measure with bulk tank soma c cell counts, individual cow soma c cell counts, whole‐herd cultures, culture of a subpopula on of cows or culture of bulk tank milk.

Environmental Streptococci Environmental streptococci and coliform infec on rates are nearly iden cal. The percentage of quarters infected with environmental streptococci at any one point in me is generally low and seldom exceeds 10 percent. The impact of environmental streptococci mas s is best assessed by culturing milk from fresh cows, cows going dry and clinically infected quarters. Individual cow soma c cell counts and whole‐herd cultures are less effec ve monitoring schemes. Bulk tank milk bacterial and soma c cell counts can be elevated by infec ons caused by environmental streptococci. However, the extent of environmental streptococci in a dairy herd cannot be reliably assessed by those measurements due to possible contamina on of bulk tank milk by external bacteria. Coagulase‐Nega ve Staphylococcus (CNS) CNS species are the organisms most frequently isolated from bovine milk samples. CNS species usually are designated as “skin flora opportunists,” rather than as environmental or contagious bacteria since CNS are a part of the normal teat skin flora. CNS can colonize the teat canal. Some species also are found free‐living in the environment. A culture may be posi ve for CNS, but this does not mean the quarter is infected. Because CNS are commonly found on teat skin and in the streak canal, they are a common cause of contaminated milk cultures.

Beat the Heat: Summer Heat Abatement Strategies

Shade: Shading from direct sunlight is very important. Although shade from trees is the most natural environment, cows will o en compact the area around the trees. Pay a en on to these areas to prolong the life to the trees and to avoid mudholes. Mudholes can result in greater mas s as animals will o en lie in the mud a er milking and before the teat canals close following milking. Portable or temporary shades can be used and rotated so that cows use shade in different pastures while the muddy ones dry. Water: Water is the primary nutrient needed to make milk. Cows drink up to 50 percent more water when the heat index is above 80 percent. A good rule of thumb is there must be at least 3 inches per cow in the pen of space along the water trough; this will decrease compe on and ensure that all animals have access to clean water. Be extra diligent about monitoring waterers to make sure they are clean. Providing water access immediately a er milking will also help keep them cool throughout the day as cows consume most of their daily water intake right a er being milked. Ven la on: One of the ho est places on the dairy farm is the holding pen, due to the high density of the cows. Cows need a minimum of 36 to 48 square feet to prevent heat transfer between cows. When moving cows up to the holding pen, bring up smaller groups instead of a whole pen. Fans will help remove radiant heat. Fans should be spaced across the barn to create good airflow in all areas. Increasing air‐exchange in freestall res ng areas, over feed bunks, and in the holding area and parlor is important. Open sidewalls and end walls, and provide a shady res ng area for cows that are outdoors. Sprinklers: Sprinklers over the feed alley or exit lanes out of the milking parlor (combined with fans) provide the best heat removal in most commercial barns. The most effec ve sprinkler systems soak the cows to the skin. The cows will be cooled as the water evaporates. Such cooling devices need to be used with care when mas s or soma c cell count problems occur. The object is to wet the cow’s back without having water run onto the udder. Soakers over the beds should be avoided as it causes

increased moisture, which can contribute to environmental mas s. Remember, air velocity is needed for quick evapora on. If there is crowding in areas, adding more water to the environment will only increase the humidity and cause even more stress. Some barns may require addi onal circula on fans on s ll days to maintain enough air velocity to evaporate water. Alterna ve Breeding Techniques: Reproduc on is always a top concern for dairy farmers but especially becomes a concern in mes of heat stress. The large decrease in reproduc on due to heat stress has mo vated much research into ways to increase pregnancy rates in the summer (Hansen and Aréchiga, 1999; Jordan, 2003). Two popular management strategies used to offset heat stress on reproduc on are embryo transfer and delayed insemina on (seasonal herds). Embryo transfer can significantly improve pregnancy rates during the summer months by bypassing the period in which the embryo is more suscep ble to heat stress, while herds that are more seasonal focus op mal calving and milk produc on during the cooler season. For more informa on on improving fer lity in the summer, check out: Economics of Heat Stress: Implica ons for Management. The Takeaway: Remember, the effects dairy cows feel are much greater than that of what we feel. Don’t use your own comfort levels to indicate the need to help cool the herd in the summer heat.

For cows to digest the starch in corn efficiently, the corn kernels in chopped and processed whole‐plant corn must be broken into small par cles. Three decades ago it was thought that effec ve starch u liza on occurred if the corn kernel was merely nicked or broken. With today’s high‐producing animals, we know kernels must be processed into smaller par cles for dairy ca le to get adequate starch u liza on given the short dura on feed residues in the rumen. During harvest, how can I tell if my kernel processor has sufficiently processed the kernel frac on? The right me to determine the adequacy of kernel processing is at the me of harvest when harvester adjustments can be made to correct inadequate processing. However, it can be difficult to see how well the kernels are processed when they are mixed with the stover frac on of the plant. A water separa on technique has been developed that can be used in the field or at the silo to separate the stover and kernel frac ons (Savoie et al., 2004). This simple technique exploits differences in buoyancy between the kernels and stover. Simply put, when placed into a water bath, the stover floats and the kernels sink. The method is simple, requires very li le equipment and can be done in the field or at the silo: Step 1: A suitable container is required to hold water and the crop. A conven onal dishpan works very well or a 5‐gal. pail can be used. Fill the dishpan about 3/4 full of water or the 5‐gal. pail about 1/2 full (fig 1). Step 2: Collect two to three representa ve handfuls of processed crop and place it in the water. Step 3: Gently agitate the material to help separate the kernels from the stover mat (fig. 2). Less than a minute of agita on is required. Step 4: Skim the floa ng stover from the water. This can be done by hand (fig. 3) or by using a strainer ‐ an ice fishing strainer for instance. Step 5: The water will be quite murky and the kernels difficult to see, but they will be at the bo om of the container. To see the kernels, carefully drain the water from the container (fig. 4). Although not necessary, water can be drained through a sieve made of window screen so

floa ng kernels are captured. Step 6: The kernels can be poured onto a cloth or heavy‐duty paper towel and water squeezed from the kernels. The kernels can then be spread out for inspec on and evalua on of the degree of processing. The process works well under most crop condi ons and can even be used to evaluate ensiled corn silage. Post‐storage assessment has less value because op ons to correct processing deficiencies are limited. Very green corn and very wet corn silage can be more challenging to separate so consider these alterna ves to improve the process: When the crop is very green, dark green leaves will

sink with the kernels. These leaves can be separated by hand a er step 5 above. An alterna ve is to par ally dry the sample prior to separa ng. This can be done several ways. A minute or two in a microwave oven typically dries the material sufficiently to ensure good separa on of the green leaves. Material can be spread on a black plas c sheet and placed in the sun for an hour or so to dry it sufficiently to help separate the green leaves.

Ensiled material, especially if ensiled at high‐moisture,

will not separate well. Thoroughly drying the sample in an oven promotes be er separa on.

If a er draining the water from the container (Step 5

above) there is too much stover with the kernels, add some water back to the container, swirl the contents and quickly drain off the water. This second itera on helps remove the remaining stover.

How do I assess whether the degree of processing is sufficient? A er separa on, the assessment of the degree of kernel processing is subjec ve. The presence of many whole‐kernels is a clear indica on processing level is insufficient. If there are almost no whole kernels, but many are simply nicked, cracked or broken, then processing level may be considered barely adequate. Properly processed materials should have almost no whole– or cracked‐kernels. Figure 6 shows three levels of processing, with the material on the right considered adequate.

Figure 6. Separated kernels showing three levels of kernel processing. Only the material on the right could be considered adequately processed.



What should I do if kernel processing is not sufficient? The level of kernel processing is affected by both the cu erhead theore cal‐length‐of‐cut (TLC) and the kernel processor roll clearance. The TLC should be set to provide the effec ve fiber required by your ca le, so processor roll clearance should be the adjustment of choice for changing the level of kernel processing. The roll clearance should be 2 to 3 mm (0.08 to 0.12 inches). This is the thickness of a dime or nickel. Very small clearances over processes the material, reduces harvester produc vity and consumes more fuel. How do I know if my judgment of par cle size is sufficiently accurate? A forage analysis laboratory can conduct a Corn Silage Processing Score (CSPS) test to provide a more analy cal assessment of kernel processing (Mertens, 2005). The CSPS defines starch par cle size and can be used to predict ruminal and total tract diges bility of starch. The CSPS analyzes starch par cle size by sieving the material in a Ro‐Tap Shaker. Material passing a 4.75 mm screen is analyzed for starch content. The percentage of total starch passing through this screen establishes the “Processing Score” (table 1).

The CSPS is a good analy cal tool for assessing the expected performance of the corn silage placed into the silo. Unfortunately, because of the delay in conduc ng

the analysis, it has limited value for making “real‐ me” decisions about how to properly set up the forage harvester as the material is harvested. The water separa on technique described here is a simple and fast method of assessing the level of kernel processing as harvest progresses. Can the water separa on method be used to assess level of kernel processing for silage being removed from a silo? The water separa on method is effec ve on silage, but ensiled material, especially if ensiled at high‐moisture, does not separate well. Thoroughly drying the sample in an oven promotes be er separa on. However, it is be er to assess kernel processing level at harvest when there is an opportunity to make harvester adjustments to provide the desired level of processing. There are limited op ons for improving the level of kernel processing at feeding. If the CSPS indicates inadequate processing, plan to use the water separa on technique explained above to assure the processing rolls on the forage harvester are properly adjusted during the next harvest season.

Youth Exhibitors Will Need to Follow Veterinary Feed Direc ve Star ng in 2017

Beginning January 1, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administra on will require livestock owners to have Veterinary Feed Direc ves (VFDs) to buy some medica ons and medicated feeds that contain an bio cs. Livestock owners will need to obtain VFDs from their veterinarians and will need to present them to purchase these products. VFDs will be required for an bio cs that are also important for human health. The brochure included in this newsle er may be useful to 4‐H, FFA, Junior Holstein Associa on and other youth exhibitors with animal projects along with other livestock owners. Be sure to consult with your veterinarian concerning the impact of the VFD on your animal projects. In addi on, individuals with ques ons may contact Heather Bartley at 608‐224‐4539.


Difficult alfalfa harves ng condi ons some mes result in farmers being off schedule for late summer harves ng alfalfa. This raises the ques on of best cu ng management of alfalfa harvest as the end of summer approaches. If we want good winter survival and rapid greenup for good yield next year, alfalfa must either: 1) be cut early enough in the fall to regrow and replenish root carbohydrates and proteins or 2) be cut so late that the alfalfa does not regrow or use any root carbohydrates. This has resulted in the recommenda on of a ‘no‐cut’ window from September 1 to killing frost for Wisconsin. However, research in Quebec has helped define this window by indica ng that alfalfa needs 500 growing degree days (GDD, base 410F accumulated un l a killing frost of 250F) a er the last summer cu ng to regrow sufficiently for good winter survival and yield the next year. Thus the date is not important but temperature following cu ng and alfalfa regrowth. This means we can cut as late as 500 GDD will accumulate without hur ng the winter survival. On the other extreme, we can also cut so late that li le regrowth occurs. Cu ng when 200 GDD or less will occur indicates that there will be insufficient regrowth to use significant amounts of root carbohydrates. These plants would also have good winter survival. It is important to remember that we do not need to wait for a killing frost to take the last cu ng. We must only wait un l it is so cool that li le or no regrowth will occur. Thus harves ng in the late fall, when less than 200 GDD will accumulate, minimizes winter injury but, we should remember leaving the alfalfa residue improves overwintering of alfalfa since the reside provides some insula on of the alfalfa crown from cold air temperatures and helps hold snow which further insulates the crown. In summary, we want either to take the last alfalfa harvest early enough that regrowth and root replenishment occurs or so late that li le to no growth occurs. Calcula ng both probabili es tells us the risk of winter injury or kill due to harves ng at different dates during September and October. This data was calculated for in Wisconsin sites where we had 42 years of weather history. In each graph, the blue is the probability of accumula ng 500 GDD a er each week. The maroon area is the probability of accumula ng less than 200 GDD. So the top

line is the probability of accumula ng either 500 GDD or less than 200 GDD a er the indicated date and shows the probability no injury or kill to alfalfa stands harvested on that date. We should assume that the graphs are for very winter‐hardy varie es (winter survival score of 2 or less) and that less winter‐hardy varie es would be at more risk. Op mum soil test levels of soil pH (6.5 or higher) and potassium can also enhance winter survival. We can see that, at both Lancaster and Beloit 500 GDD or more always accumulated a er September 1. And while the probability remained 100% for 500 GDD or more at Beloit, it fell to 74% at Lancaster by September 8. The middle of September through the middle of October was the riskiest me to cut alfalfa in southern Wisconsin over the last 42 years. At Eau Claire, Marshfield and Plymouth 100, 97 and 93 % of the me 500 GDD was accumulated a er September 1, respec vely. Probability of 500 GDD accumula on before a 250F frost fell to about 60 to 70% one week later. Thus, not harves ng a er September 1 is the safe alterna ve but o en mes being a week late was not detrimental. The last half of September was the riskiest with low probability of either more than 500 GDD or less than 200 GDD accumula on. Wai ng ll mid October was o en safe whether or not a frost has occurred. Alfalfa forage quality changes li le during September, so harves ng versus delaying harvest should be based on likelihood of winter injury or survival if the stand is to be kept. The effect of ming late summer cu ngs on winter survival and next year yield depends on the weather following cu ng and the graphs give the risk associated with cu ng mes over the last 42 years.
