Corynebacterium pyogenes mastitis among heifer calves.

A J Bramley, J D Leaver, R G Kingwill

    The Veterinary Record
    |May 28, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    An outbreak of *C. pyogenes* mastitis affected 18 heifer calves, with most cases occurring in younger animals under 10 months old. Fly control measures are recommended for young stock during summer months to prevent future outbreaks.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Animal Health
    • Bacterial Infections

    Background:

    • *C. pyogenes* is a significant pathogen causing mastitis in cattle.
    • Younger animals may be more susceptible to certain infections.
    • Environmental factors, such as insect populations, can influence disease transmission.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document an outbreak of *C. pyogenes* mastitis in heifer calves.
    • To identify risk factors associated with the outbreak.
    • To provide recommendations for prevention.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of an outbreak.
    • Case description and age distribution.
    • Discussion of potential contributing factors.

    Main Results:

    • Eighteen heifer calves were diagnosed with *C. pyogenes* mastitis.
    • The majority of affected calves (77%) were under 10 months of age.
    • The outbreak occurred in August 1975.

    Conclusions:

    • Young heifer calves are particularly vulnerable to *C. pyogenes* mastitis.
    • Effective fly control is crucial for preventing mastitis outbreaks in young dairy stock during summer.
    • Further investigation into pathogen transmission routes is warranted.
