Hoose or Lungworm has become prevalent in dairy herds.  You will notice cows coughing and associate it with IBR.  Addressing this issue is straight forward in terms of an oral drench.

Cows bred now will calve in the month of April 2016.  These potential late calvers are still a valuable asset on the farm so therefore every opportunity for empty cows to be bred successfully needs to be in place.
