Summary

Allergic rhinitis, characterized by nasal and eye symptoms, was diagnosed in cattle. This condition appears to be inherited, with affected females showing sensitivity to common environmental allergens.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Immunology
  • Animal Science

Background:

  • Allergic rhinitis, a common condition in humans, presents with symptoms like nasal discharge and sneezing.
  • Cattle can exhibit similar clinical signs, suggesting potential allergic responses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To diagnose allergic rhinitis in a group of Angus X Holstein cattle.
  • To identify the allergens responsible for the condition.
  • To investigate the potential inherited nature of allergic rhinitis in cattle.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical examination of affected cattle, noting signs such as nasal discharge, tearing, and sneezing.
  • Intradermal skin testing using a range of tree, grass, weed, and mold allergens.
  • Analysis of breeding data to assess the mode of transmission.

Main Results:

  • Affected cattle displayed classic signs of allergic rhinitis.
  • Positive skin test reactions were observed in affected cattle against multiple environmental allergens.
  • Breeding data suggested an inherited component, with only female cattle exhibiting symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Angus X Holstein cattle can suffer from allergic rhinitis, mirroring human disease presentations.
  • Environmental allergens are implicated in the condition.
  • Evidence points towards an inherited predisposition, particularly in female cattle.
