Quick recognition and early intervention is key to ensuring that a more serious condition doesn\u2019t occur.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Phil Courtney milks 135 Holstein-Friesian cows, in addition to 30 sucklers raised and finished for beef, on his farm in Co Monaghan, Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>His milking herd averages 8,000 litres and produces an average of 487kg of milk solids per year. All calving occurs in the spring and cows are paddock-grazed with 12 or 24-hour breaks, dependent upon grass growth and quality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast February, the cows\u2019 dung got very loose. Naturally I was concerned and phoned the vet to take a look and see what we could do for them before it became a problem. He reckoned it was sub acute rumen acidosis and recommended we add Actisaf live yeast to our TMR which we did, and the problem disappeared within two days!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Phil\u2019s veterinarian Paddy McGinn suggested adding Actisaf again in the winter. \u201cThe cows were getting a lot of concentrate at the time [9kg\/head\/day]. We noticed the dung getting loose again so I told Phil to re-introduce Actisaf, and again there was rapid and marked improvement,\u201d explained Paddy.<\/p>\n<p>After seeing such great results in his milking herd, Phil is looking for other ways he can use it on the farm. \u201cNow that I\u2019ve seen the benefit it has given the milking herd, we\u2019re looking into adding Actisaf into our beef finishing diet in the hope that it will improve<br \/>\nproductivity during the finishing period and reduce the risk of acidosis when cattle are on a high energy diet.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Loose, bubbly dung is often indicative of bigger problems in cattle, and can often accompany stressful periods such as calving, diet transitions or group changes.
