Lice On Beef And Dairy Cattle
LICE ON BEEF AND dairy cattle. by Lee Townsend, Extension Entomologist. University of Kentucky College of Agriculture
http://www.uky.edu/Agriculture/Entomology/entfacts/livestc/ef512.htm

Extractions: Information Sheets Lice are small, flat-bodied insects with legs modified for grasping hairs. They cannot survive off of the animal for more than a few days. Sucking lice, with their narrow, pointed heads, are blood feeders. Biting lice feed by scraping material from the skin and base of the hairs. The eggs, or nits, of both types are glued singly to hairs and hatch in about two weeks. The nymphs, or immature stages, resemble the adults but are smaller. They mature in about three weeks. Adults live two to three weeks and females lay about one egg per day. Infestations of biting and sucking lice have been associated with reduced weight gains and general unthriftiness of cattle. The economic impact of these small insects has been very difficult to assess. However, it appears that an average of 10 or more per square inch are necessary to have a significant effect. Lice are most abundant on animals during the period of greatest winter stress. Many veterinarians and producers believe that losses occur and some cattlemen will treat animals for lice just for the improved appearance that results. The potential for severe, direct losses caused by sucking or biting lice is low. Moderate to heavy infestations add to the impact of cold weather, shipping stress, inadequate nutrition, or harm from internal parasites or disease. The interaction between low levels of both lice and intestinal nematodes can reduce weight gains by more than 8%. The energy that lice "steal", coupled with other factors, can have a severe impact on animal health. Manifestations can be anemia, slow recovery from diseases, poor gains, or general unthriftiness.

Extractions: How has milk production changed since the 1950s? Intensive dairy practices and modified feeds have enabled U.S. dairy cows to produce 2.5 times as much milk today as they did in the 1950s. These intensive practices place dairy cattle under enormous stress to produce an abnormally large amount of milk, 10-20 times the amount of milk they need to suckle their calves. As a result, dairy cattle "burn out" at a much younger age than their normal life span or even the life span of a milk-producing dairy cow in the 1950s and consequently are culled and slaughtered at an early age. Does producing this unnaturally massive amount of milk cause health problems for cattle? Up to 33% of dairy cows develop mastitis, a very painful udder infection that can become systemic, and is a common reason for early slaughtering. Abnormally large udders produce problems walking, so a cow's legs are usually spread apart, distorting the normal configurations of her pelvis and spine. Her back problems are aggravated when she must walk on hard ground and concrete. How are dairy farming practices different today?
