Mastitis
About mastitis
Mastitis is a common and costly disease of dairy cows, characterized by inflammation of the mammary gland. It is usually caused by bacterial infections and can result in reduced milk production, quality, decreased cow health and fertility. Symptoms of mastitis include swelling of the affected mammary gland, heat, pain, and redness, as well as the presence of pus or other abnormal secretions in the milk. The disease can be treated with anti-inflammatories and antibiotics, but it is also important to implement preventive measures, such as good udder hygiene and management practices, to reduce the risk of infection and spread of the disease. In Ireland, as well as in other countries, the most common causes of mastitis in dairy cows are bacterial infections, and several species of bacteria can be responsible. The most common culprits include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococci, Escherichia coli. The specific bacteria responsible for mastitis cases can vary depending on factors such as herd size, milking practices, and environmental conditions. It is important for dairy farmers to work with their veterinarian to identify the causative bacteria and implement appropriate treatment and prevention strategies to minimize the impact of mastitis on herd health and production.

Ketosis and Transition Management
About ketosis
Ketosis in dairy cows is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated levels of ketone bodies in the blood, which can lead to decreased feed intake, reduced milk production, reduced fertility and impaired health. It occurs when cows are unable to consume enough dry matter to meet their energy requirements, which leads to the breakdown of fats for energy and the production of ketones.
Transition management
Transition management in dairy cows refers to the period of time surrounding calving (or "freshening") when a cow's body undergoes significant metabolic and hormonal changes. The transition period is critical for dairy cow health and performance, as it sets the stage for the upcoming lactation. Effective transition management is essential to minimize stress and improve feed intake, prevent metabolic disorders such as ketosis, and optimize lactation performance. This can involve strategies such as dry cow management, close monitoring of cow health and feed intake, proper cow nutrition, and appropriate use of vaccines and other health products. The goal of transition management is to ensure a smooth transition from dry cow to lactating cow, which can improve cow health, longevity, and overall dairy farm profitability.

Kexxtone™ 32.4G Continuous - Release Intraruminal Device for Cattle
Kexxtone is licensed for the reduction in the incidence of ketosis in the peri-parturient dairy cow/heifer which are expected to develop ketosis. Kexxtone is a continual release ruminal bolus containing monensin; it causes a shift in rumen microbial populations favouring the production of propionic acid. Propionic acid is a precursor for glucose, which increases available energy and decreases levels of ketosis. One single bolus of Kexxtone has been shown to reduce incidence of ketosis by up to 74% and provides up to 95 days coverage1.

Anthelmintic Resistance in Sheep
Anthelmintic resistance is one of the biggest challenges to the health and profitability of sheep and affects the entire sheep industry: a recent study found that parasitic worms has been estimated to cost the European livestock industry more than €1.8 billion per year, with drug-resistance costing at least €38 million per year in production losses and treatment costs.2
As the impact of resistant worms remains invisible until resistance levels reach the tipping point, it is important to include newer actives in worm control plans now. Taking action before there are obvious problems on the farm will help maintain the activity of wormers for the future, as well as allowing lambs to reach their growth potential today.
Act now: find out more about how you can incorporate Zolvix™ in your worm control strategy, for your mid-late season break dose or as part of a routine quarantine treatment for all incoming and returning animals.

Zolvix™ Oral Solution for Sheep
Zolvix™ oral solution is a broad spectrum anthelmintic for the treatment and control of gastrointestinal nematode infections and associated diseases in sheep, including lambs, hoggets, breeding rams and ewes.
- Kills all economically significant gut worms, even worms resistant to 1-BZ, 2-LV and 3-ML wormers.
- Can be used as a routine farm protection (quarantine) dose to clean out incoming stock and protect your farm from resistant worms.
- Recommended as a one-off mid-late season break dose for all lambs to remove worm burdens including any resistant worms. Removing the accumulated resistant worms at this time will allow the lambs to achieve their growth potential and make the most of the late season grass.
- All farms should use once a year to help slow down resistance and preserve the older groups (1,2 and 3)
- Group 4-AD wormer (contains monepantel).
Blowflies
Blowflies are attracted to lay their eggs on areas of soiling or damage (wounds) on the animal, or on carcasses. Therefore, the key to blowfly control is to minimise breeding opportunities by:
- managing deadstock: remove deadstock as quickly as possible, and keep deadstock covered while waiting for collection
- managing flock health: minimise faecal soiling through good worm control and fleece management, and through treating wounds, including foot infections
- using a preventative treatment early in the season: prevent established blowfly strike in the flock to protect the sheep and to prevent those first waves of flies from breeding. Doing this will massively reduce blowfly numbers, and strike risk, later in the season.
So what preventative treatments are available?
Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) are not insecticidal, and instead work by preventing the harmless first stage blowfly larvae developing into the damaging second and third stage maggots that are responsible for flystrike.
The Elanco CLiK™ portfolio, made up of CLiK™ EXTRA, CLiK™ and CLiKZiN™ are IGRs. These are the only products to benefit from FleeceBind™, a a technology that allows the product to spread and bind to give full fleece protection*, minimising the risk of fly strike.
The CLiK™ portfolio of IGRs break the blowfly lifecycle. Organophosphates (OPs) and Synthetic Pyrethroids (SPs) are insecticidal - they kill adult and larval stages of the blowfly on contact. The Elanco blowfly portfolio is completed with the synthetic pyrethroid Vector™.
CLik Brand (Blowfly Control for Sheep)
The CLiK™ brands are the only IGRs containing FleeceBind™ technology which provides full fleece protection*. It helps spread the formulation from tip to base of the fleece and binds it strongly in place, sticking it to the wool.
