It can take the profit out of the cattle business
By STEVE CAMPBELL
OSU EXTENSION AGENT
MORROW COUNTY
As if the cattleman doesn't
have enough to worry about,
there is a quiet invader mak
ing its appearance in Central
Oregon. It causes no visible
distress to the infected cow,
yet it may be robbing the
producer of untold dollars.
This invader is a small
protozoan called "Tricho
monas fetus" and it infects the
genital tracts of both bulls and
cows. The immediate effect is
death to the fetus within 40
days of conception and an
undetected abortion. This
results in repeated returns to
estrus by the infected cow and
an extended calving period.
Texas and Oklahoma are
prime source areas for the
disease. Mark Quinn, a Texas
consulting veterinarian con
siders trichomoniasis to be
one cf the most damaging
diseases that can affect a cow
herd.
The producer should have
his bulls checked for 'trie' if he
has a lot of repeat breeders
and-or if the calving interval
begins to legthen inexplicibly.
The infected cows will clean
themseleves up with 60 to 90
days of sexual rest and can
then be rebred. Infected bulls

schedule performing at the

should, in most cases, be
slaughtered. The bull, being
the carrier, doed not lose the
infection over time. In the
case of a very valuable bull,
treatment may be attempted
under direction of a veteri
narian. Clinical diagnosis of the
protozoan is difficult in bulls
with about 90 percent success
in detection of an infected bull
with one sample. For this
reason, any suspected bull
should have at least four tests,
showing negative results,
before he is given a clean bill
of health.
The old addage, "An ounce
of prevention is worth a pound
of cure, is especially true in
the case of trichomoniasis
where the only possible way
for the disease to enter your
herd in through an outside bull
or cow. Simple preventions
are: 1) have all suspect bulls,
those coming from out of state
(especially Texas and Okla
homa ) or from breeders that
the grower is not familiar
with, sampled four times by
their veterinarian; 2) keep a
close eye on any repeat breed
ers nd have them and respec
tive bulls tested for tricho
moniasis; 3) keep these
animals away from other bulls
until they have a clean bill of
health; and 4) if there is an

unexplained
increase in a
herd's average calving inter
val trichomoniasis should be a
consideration.
As with other reporductive
diseases the impact is felt in
the pocketbook over a long
period of time. There are at
present no reported cases of
Trichomoniasis in the Colum
bia Basin With a little vigi
lance on the part of cattle
producers it will remain out

to the cost of livestock produc
tion locally. Just remember;
out of state bulls, bulls from
herds in area where trie is a
problem, a lot of repeat bre
eders, and an abnormally long
calving interval, are suspects
for Trichomoniasis. If there
are any doubts in a producers
mind, call the veterinarian.
