While the warmer months may seem a very distant and only slightly possible future, They will inevitably come. And with them they will bring all of the ailments and nasties associated with warm weather. One of the most nasty of the warm weather nasties is pink eye.  It is never too late to start thinking ahead about how best to protect your livestock.

 

Pink eye is something most of us can relate to, the persistent and very contagious disease bringing irritation and eye pain to those unfortunate enough to be affected. In your cows, this can lead to decreased appetite and weight loss. If left untreated, pink eye can even result in corneal ulcers and permanent blindness, severely impacting the quality of life and market value of the cattle. Additionally, the economic losses due to reduced weight gain, lower milk production, and the costs associated with treatment and management make pink eye a critical concern for farmers.
