We’re all too aware of the risk of footpaths and dog walkers for bringing Neospora onto the farm.
How often do you consider foxes as a potential problem?
Foxes, like dogs, that eat infected after birth can spread neospora in their poo.
Cattle with neospora may show signs of…
🦊 Abortion (usually 5-7 months)
🦊 Birth premature calves
🦊 Birth calves with brain damage
Cattle can abort repeatedly in following pregnancies and pass the disease onto any of their calves that do survive. Remember biosecurity includes pest control and wildlife control!!!
