Due to the increased use of aspirin in cattle and specifically in lactating dairy cattle, the FDA has recently changed their stance from aspirin use being of "low regulatory concern" to one of "high concern." The FDA has reached out to veterinarians via a letter stating that "the extra label use of unapproved drugs in food-producing species is prohibited." This means that any use of aspirin in food-producing animals is illegal and use of aspirin products should be discontinued.

Flunixin (brand name Banamine) is an FDA-approved product that is available for treatment of fever associated with bovine respiratory disease, endotoxemia, and mastitis and for the control of pain associated with foot rot. It is available in an injectable product for intravenous use only and additionally is available in a topical, pour-on product as Banamine Transdermal. These approved products are safe, effective and have established milk and meat withdrawal periods.

FDA understands that veterinarians/dairy farmers may be treating cattle with aspirin and clarifies that there are no FDA-approved aspirin products for cattle.

A dilemma as old as time... to blanket or not to blanket? Unfortunately, there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. Whether your horse needs a blanket during the winter months depends on many factors such as their coat, the weather and their living situation.

Welcome back to #CattleTipTuesday. Today, we’re covering biosecurity.

Time for another #CattleTipTuesday. This week, we’re looking at the importance of good record keeping.

From the early mornings to the late nights, your dedication never wavers. We are grateful for all that you do. Happy National Farmer’s Day!

It’s #CattleTipTuesday, and we’ve got another tip for you and your herd.

There are many types of internal parasites that may live inside a horse. Can you identify which one this is?​ Hint: This parasite lays eggs on a horse’s legs before eventually being ingested.​ To help prevent and manage unhealthy parasitic loads in your horse, work with ​your veterinarian.

Did you know that not all mastitis cases require antibiotic treatment? For mild to moderate mastitis, culturing helps identify the right animals to treat. To get started with on-farm culturing, work with a veterinarian to implement a system and learn how to interpret the results. #CattleTipTuesday

During the grazing season, liver flukes may be lurking nearby. Learn more about these unique parasitic pests with today’s #CattleTipTuesday.

It’s #CattleTipTuesday, and we’ve got another valuable tip for you and your herd. Today, we’re looking at managing fresh cows and subclinical milk fever. Ask your local veterinarian about blood calcium testing.

Welcome back to #CattleTipTuesday. This week, we take a look at bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), a disease often associated with pneumonia.

Happy beef month! From pasture to feedlot, beef producers do right by the cattle in their care.

Our veterinarians are crucial to keeping herds healthy, our food supply safe and putting Cattle First. Join us in saying thank you this World Vet Day.

For this week’s #CattleTipTuesday, we’re here to help you keep pinkeye at bay this summer. Check out Boehringer Ingelheim Cattle Health to learn more about cattle health.
