All Current Publications
Data from usable pesticide survey responses was entered in a computer database and checked for entry errors. A database record was stored for each unique combination of grower, crop, pesticide, and target pest(s). All character data (such as brand names) were standardized for consistent usage and spelling. Specific methods used to enter and standardize data and to perform calculations are described below:

FDA has received reports that products containing colloidal silver are being promoted for use in the treatment of mastitis and other serious disease conditions of dairy cattle, as well as for various conditions of companion animals. For example, FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine has received reports from the Agency's regional milk specialists and State inspectors that colloidal silver products have been found on some dairy farms.
Bluetongue In Cattle, Clell Bagley
Bluetongue In Cattle, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Bluetongue (BT) is a viral disease that is spread mainly by one specific type of gnat. Other gnats and blood sucking insects may occasionally transmit BT, but they are much less important in its transfer. Cattle are the main reservoir for overwintering of the virus in temperate climates.
Understanding Bull Breeding Soundness Exams, Clell Bagley, Craig Burrell
Understanding Bull Breeding Soundness Exams, Clell Bagley, Craig Burrell
All Current Publications
Controversy still exists about Breeding Soundness Examinations (BSE) and what they can and cannot do. At times they are not used because of a lack of understanding of their value while at other times they are used with unrealistic expectations. First, BSE is performed to identify bulls with reduced fertility not just to find those which are sterile. Very few bulls are sterile but a significant percent have reduced fertility.
Preventing Calf Losses, Clell Bagley
Preventing Calf Losses, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Many beef producers and practicing veterinarians noted there were higher than normal calf death losses during the 1993 calving season. We were especially aware of the increased losses here in the western states, but there were also heavy losses in the midwest and east, so the problem was very widespread.
Toxic Contaminants In Harvested Forage, Clell Bagley
Toxic Contaminants In Harvested Forage, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Harvested forages are vitally important and commonly used for beef production. But contamination can occur which results in reduced forage quality and palatability or may even result in animal illness and death. Outlined below are some of the common problems that should be considered.

Updating Your Herd Health Plan, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Animal health is not sold in a bottle, syringe or sack. It comes as a result of proper management. The increased concentration and movement of cattle and demands for greater production necessitate an improved level of management to maintain cattle health.
Pinkeye, Clell Bagley
Pinkeye, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Pinkeye is the common term for Infectious Bovine Keratoconjunctivitis (IBK). This terminology describes a disease condition of cattle which is infectious in nature and causes an inflammation of the transparent cornea, the sclera (“white”) of the eyeball and the conjunctiva (inside lining membrane) of the lids.
Vaccinating To Prevent Pneumonia, Clell Bagley, Donald Snyder, Nyle Matthews
Vaccinating To Prevent Pneumonia, Clell Bagley, Donald Snyder, Nyle Matthews
All Current Publications
Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) is a major problem for cattle and it continues to cause serious economic losses. Pneumonia is its most serious form. BRD causes increased death losses, higher medication and labor costs, and lost production. It occurs most commonly within a few weeks of weaning and is especially troublesome then. BRD is more serious in calves which are shipped long distances right after weaning and is often referred to as shipping fever.
Weaning Calves Successfully, Clell Bagley
Weaning Calves Successfully, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
The production loss and death loss of calves at weaning is second only to the losses at calving. Weaning is a very stressful time and bovine respiratory disease (pneumonia, shipping fever, etc.) is a common problem. Coccidiosis and other digestive problems, such as acidosis, (grain overload) are also common.

Cat Plague - Veterinarian Caution, Clell Bagley
Cat Plague - Veterinarian Caution, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Plague has been in the news from several areas in the much from world. The Center for Disease Control has become especially concerned about two aspects of plague (and these concerns affect veterinarians in Utah very directly); first, plague has been increasing in recent years in the western states and second, cats are being recognized more often as being associated with human plague cases.
Breeding Soundness Examination Of Rams, Clell Bagley
Breeding Soundness Examination Of Rams, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
The objective of a breeding soundness examination (BSE) of rams is to evaluate and classify their potential breeding ability. This process should include evaluation of their physical condition as well as an evaluation of the semen itself. A BSE does not include an evaluation of sex drive or breeding behavior because there are no standardized criteria by which to judge these. Their best evaluation at present will come from observation of the rams breeding behavior after introduction into the ewe flock.
Improving Reproductive Performance Of The Ewe, Clell Bagley
Improving Reproductive Performance Of The Ewe, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
The western range ewe is a tremendously productive animal as evidenced by the excellent reproductive rates that are achieved by some producers, some years. Yet many other factors such as weather, disease and forage availability can drastically reduce their productivity. It is a major management challenge to control or even minimize the effect of these interacting factors. Some of those of greatest priority are listed and briefly discussed.
Nutritional Diseases Of Sheep, Clell Bagley
Nutritional Diseases Of Sheep, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Nutritional diseases result from a deficiency, an excess or an imbalance of nutrients. They are common but usually produce only sporadic cases of illness or death loss. However, the wrong combination of events can lead to devastating losses.
Obstetrics And Lambing Problems, Clell Bagley
Obstetrics And Lambing Problems, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Lambing season is a busy time and a critical step toward a productive year. The first rule is for frequent observation of ewes due to lamb. Extra help during this season will usually more than pay for the cost because of extra lambs saved.

Assisting With Calving, Clell Bagley
Assisting With Calving, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Calving season is a busy time of year for cattlemen and it is a critical step toward a productive year. The first rule is frequent observation of those cows due to calve, especially the first calf heifers. This is usually a very busy time of year and some extra help during this season will more than pay for the cost through extra calves saved. Even wives and older children can help a solo producer get some needed sleep. If, they have been taught how to observe, they can tell when a calving cow needs help and if there’s a need …
Copper Deficiency In Utah, Clell Bagley, Norris Stenquist, Dennis Worwood
Copper Deficiency In Utah, Clell Bagley, Norris Stenquist, Dennis Worwood
All Current Publications
Copper deficiency has been diagnosed in a number of Utah cattle herds, yet few producers use copper supplements. Cattle deficient in the element can suffer significant production losses. Producers need to balance both the effects and the costs of copper supplements. Too much copper can cause copper toxicity or poisoning. And adding copper may not be economical if animals are only marginally deficient. Further, the deficiency may occur only on specific feeds or pastures, correcting itself when cattle are moved.
Dealing With Drought And Short Feed Supplies For Beef Cattle, Clell Bagley
Dealing With Drought And Short Feed Supplies For Beef Cattle, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Weather patterns greatly impact feed supplies for almost all areas of Utah. Both grazing and harvested feed supplies are usually reduced with drought conditions. The hay QUALITY may actually be improved because of the excellent drying conditions for harvest. Taking good care of hay supplies to protect that quality may allow use of less feed in the winter to achieve acceptable results.
Halogeton Toxicity In Cattle, Clell Bagley
Halogeton Toxicity In Cattle, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
“Everyone” knows that halogeton is toxic to sheep, but sometimes we forget that it is also toxic for cattle. If cattle eat enough of it, it will kill them. One autumn incident resulted in the death of over 40 head of cows in a multiple owner grazing herd.
Health Programs Which Improve The Marketability Of Calves, Clell Bagley
Health Programs Which Improve The Marketability Of Calves, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
The “winds of change” have the potential to drastically change the marketing of beef calves in the next few years. Economic pressures may force greater conformity in the way cow-calf producers manage and prepare their calves for market. Those who are slow to conform may be at a disadvantage for marketing.

Infectious Cattle Diseases And Vaccines, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Vaccines are available for 20 to 30 infectious diseases of cattle. With the various brand names and different combinations available, the choice of vaccines can become very complicated. Calves vaccinated under 6 months of age should generally be re-vaccinated again after that age to provide a longer lasting immunity.
