Hypovitaminosis A in feedlot cattle

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1987
Hypovitaminosis A was diagnosed in a group of feedlot cattle that had been fed a diet low in carotene for 18 months. The primary signs of disease in the cattle were poor weight gain, ataxia, convulsions, night blindness, and total blindness. Serum vitamin A concentrations were used to confirm the diagnosis.

Bronchiectasis in Yearling Feedlot Cattle

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1976
SUMMARY Throughout all of 1974, we surveyed, for illnesses and deaths, about 407,000 yearling feedlot cattle. From the 3,943 dead cattle, 1,988 necropsies were made; of the cattle necropsied, 32 (1.6%) had bronchiectasis. In this disease, the permanently dilated small bronchi and bronchioles, located in ventral parts of the lungs, were filled with ...

Bulling Among Yearling Feedlot Steers

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1976
SUMMARY In a survey to determine the cause of illness and deaths among yearling feedlot cattle, bulling was found to be one of the major problems. During the years 1971–1974, 54,913 (2.88%) steers became bullers and represented an annual loss of around $325,000. Some of the causes of bulling were found to be hormones, either as implants or in the feed.

Dust Emissions in Cattle Feedlots

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 1988
Dust emissions were measured at three Texas cattle feedlots on 15 occasions in 1987 to determine concentrations of total suspended particulate matter (TSP) and dust with 10 microns or less aerodynamic particle size (PM-10). Net feedlot dust concentrations (downwind minus upwind) ranged from 15.7 to 1,700.1 micrograms per m3 and averaged 412.4 +/- 271.2

Abomasal erosions in feedlot cattle

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1992
Summary The abomasa of 1,949 slaughtered feedlot cattle, 45 necropsied feedlot cattle that died 2 to 45 days after arrival, and 45 necropsied pastured cattle were opened and examined. Of these organs, 484,1, and none, respectively, contained erosions. The slaughtered cattle were fattened at 3 locations: 1,305 with 430 eroded abomasa were fed a ration ...

Liver Abscesses in Feedlot Cattle

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2007
Liver abscesses in feedlot cattle result from aggressive grain-feeding programs and are influenced by a number of dietary and management factors. They have a major economic impact on the feedlot industry because of liver condemnation and reduced animal performance and carcass yield.
