2017 Kentucky Grazing School and KFGA Annual Field Day

FROM: The Forage News, Dr. Ray Smith and Krista Lee, University of Kentucky

The Kentucky Grazing School will be held on September 27-28, 2017 at the Woodford County Ex-

tension office and the Oran C. Little Research Center in Versailles, KY. This two-day program in-

cludes hands-on exercises, such as building temporary paddocks and watering systems, and assessing

pasture production. Classroom discussions will cover topics including forages, animal management,

and grazing systems. Enrollment is limited, so apply early. Past participants range from new to experi-

enced grazers and all have gained new information and skills to implement on their operations. Pre-

register for the grazing school as enrollment is limited to the first 45. The $50.00 registration fee in-

cludes all materials, grazing manuals, breaks, and lunch both days. Partially funded through the Gov-

ernor’s Office of Agriculture Policy. For more information, contact Zach Workman, 859-257-7512,

Recent Vaccine Research May Improve High-Risk Stocker Health

Michelle Arnold, DVM (Ruminant Extension Veterinarian, UKVDL), University of Kentucky

Bovine Respiratory Disease (“BRD”), better known as pneumonia, continues to be the most common

cause of feedlot death loss despite significant improvements in the vaccines and antibiotics available

today. Although countless research dollars have been spent studying this disease, death rates are basi-

cally the same or even worse than ever before. The economic impact of BRD goes beyond death loss

to include costs of treatment and prevention, production losses, and reduced carcass value. Now con-

sumers are demanding the beef industry reduce antimicrobial use in the production of wholesome

beef. Prevention of disease by vaccination should be the answer to improving animal health but the

current vaccination recommendations are not meeting the challenge. However, recent research into de-

layed vaccination administration as well as new immune stimulants may prove useful to reduce sick-

ness and death loss.

Any discussion of vaccination protocols must begin with a basic understanding of immunity. Think of

the immune system as the army fighting a war against foreign invaders into the lungs including the vi-

ruses and bacteria that cause BRD. The front line of active defense is the innate or “native” immunity

comprised of the white cells known as neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages. These cells act

quickly to get out of the bloodstream and into lung tissue to destroy as many abnormal cells and bacte-

ria as they encounter but they often cannot finish the job alone. The reinforcements come in the form

of “acquired” immunity. These are the disease-fighting cells (antibodies) developed after vaccination

or natural exposure that recognize and destroy specific bacteria or viruses based on memory. Unfortu-

nately, it may take days or even weeks to develop these memory cells and an effective antibody re-

sponse in healthy cattle. But what about vaccinations given to high risk, highly stressed calves?

Page 4: An Ag Inclined Newsletter from the desk of Evan Tate ... · Evan Tate County Extension Agent for Ag and Natural Resources Education—Hancock County. US NO 2 YELLOW CORN Bids Change

Many of the physiologic stress effects associated with weaning, handling, commingling, castration/

dehorning, and transportation will increase the stress hormone cortisol in the blood, which can effec-

tively shut down the immune system. Despite this fact, a full array of vaccines is typically adminis-

tered to calves on arrival at the feed yard, the backgrounding facility or is completed at the yards be-

fore trucking to a feeding facility. All manufacturers of modified-live virus (MLV) vaccines recom-

mend that the vaccine be given before risk of disease exposure and only to healthy cattle. This is the

reason preconditioning programs insist on pre-weaning vaccination against BRD. However, very few

calves arriving at auction barns have ever seen a vaccine besides blackleg and oftentimes calves begin

incubating respiratory disease prior to the sale while waiting in the yards. Whether vaccination on ar-

rival is due to tradition, convenience or an unknown health history, it is unlikely to be effective in a

highly stressed calf.

Bovine respiratory disease is definitely known as a stress-associated infectious disease caused by an

interaction between host susceptibility, pathogens (disease-producing viruses and bacteria), and the

environment. Mannheimia haemolytica serotype A1 is the most common bacteria found in respiratory

disease during the receiving period and the most important cause of death. This organism is an oppor-

tunist, gaining access to the lungs when host defenses are low. But is all stress the same? Acute or

short-term stress typically occurs in well-managed calves on the home farm during routine vaccination

procedures, whereas chronic stress is encountered more often in high-risk calves during initial pro-

cessing at stocker or feedlot facilities. The protective vaccine response is actually good for cattle expe-

riencing short-term stress, but chronically stressed cattle will have too much replication of the modi-

fied live virus resulting in nasal shedding of vaccine virus. Over-production of modified-live vaccine

virus in chronically stressed calves may cause them to show more symptoms of BRD and receive

more treatments. Killed vaccines, on the other hand, do not have enough antigens to stimulate a pro-

tective response in stressed calves. So what is the answer? Recent studies have demonstrated that de-

laying the 5-way modified live respiratory vaccination to 21-30 days post-arrival will give high-risk

cattle the opportunity to overcome stress-induced immune dysfunction and mount a strong protective

vaccine response to the later administration. Intranasal respiratory vaccines that stimulate immunity in

the nose can safely be used on arrival for protection from viruses during the delay.

Other means of intervention to positively impact calf health are currently under development. A new

product recently marketed by Bayer Animal Health is Zelnate®, a DNA immunostimulant given on

arrival to activate the innate immune system to fight

BRD pathogens, especially M. haemolytica, at the

time of stress and disease challenge. A recent

study* published in 2016 investigated the use of

Zelnate® and delayed MLV vaccination on feedlot

health, performance, and carcass merits of auction-

market derived feeder heifers. Briefly, the trial in-

cluded 5,179 six-weight heifers from Oklahoma and

Texas received in a feedlot August to October. The

heifers were divided into 4 treatment groups; Group

One received MLV vaccine on arrival and again 30

days later, Group Two received Zelnate® and MLV

vaccine on arrival and vaccine again 30 days later,

Group Three received one dose of MLV vaccine 30

days after arrival, and Group Four received Zelnate®

on arrival then MLV vaccine 30 days after arrival.

They were fed for an average of 209 days (to slaugh-

ter weight) and results are summarized below:

1. Calves receiving the delayed MLV vaccine re-

quired less treatment. No difference was observed

among the four groups in the percentage of calves

treated once for BRD. However, across all pens, the chance of receiving retreatment was 37.05% for

calves receiving delayed viral vaccine vs 43.97% for calves administered vaccine on arrival. 2. The incidence of chronics was the same in the four groups. 3. Overall death loss was less for cattle receiving the immunostimulant (Zelnate®). No differences in final gain performance, dry matter intake or feed conversion were observed among

groups.

In this study, delaying the administration of MLV vaccine for 30 days resulted in a significant de-

crease in the number of calves requiring more than one treatment for BRD. The authors suggested the

delay may have provided the opportunity for treated cattle to respond to antibiotics more effectively

because the “interaction between stress and MLV antigens was not a factor”. Additionally, the im-

munostimulant Zelnate® consistently reduced overall death loss. One of the most important take-

home messages from this research is that no vaccine or treatment reduced the number of calves treat-

ed only once for respiratory disease. Why didn’t the vaccine given on arrival reduce the number of

pulls? Simply stated - timing. Newly-purchased calves are often incubating disease and usually break

around day 10-14 after arrival but protection from the vaccine may take up to 28 days to occur so the

timing is just not right.

It is time to re-think how health is managed in high-risk stocker calves. A majority of calves are mar-

keted through sale barns, weaned on the trailer, commingled and are at considerable risk for BRD.

Examining ways to stimulate the immune system is the new frontier currently under exploration to

hopefully reduce sickness, death loss and antimicrobial use. Preconditioning programs like CPH 45

that require pre-weaning vaccinations and weaning on the farm for at least 45 days are still the best

way to keep calves healthy at marketing and all the way through to finish.

Southern Rust of Corn Confirmed in Kentucky

Carl Bradley, Extension Plant Pathologist and Kiersten Wise, Extension Plant Pathologist

Southern rust of corn, caused by the fungus Puccinia polysora, was confirmed by the University of

Kentucky Plant Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (PDDL) this week on samples from Caldwell Coun-

ty and Graves County. This is the first confirmation of southern rust in Kentucky in 2017, and the

impact of this finding for Kentucky corn farmers will depend on current crop growth stage. UP-

DATE: Three more counties were added on July 20: Fulton, Hickman, and Christian.

Fields that are between tasseling (VT) and milk (R3) growth stages may benefit from a fungicide

application if southern rust is present. If fields have already received a fungicide application, they

should be scouted to determine disease severity prior to a second application. More details on symp-

toms and signs of southern rust and recommendations for fungicide use can be found in a previous

Kentucky Pest News (KPN) article that can be accessed here.

If you suspect you have southern rust in your field, work with local county Extension agents to sub-

mit samples to the PDDL for proper identification. Confirmations will be posted on the Integrated

Pest Information Platform for Extension and Education (iPiPE) as discussed in a previous KPN arti-

cle that can be accessed here. On the map, red counties/parishes indicate that southern rust has been

confirmed by university/Extension personnel.
