About This Book

This work is a practical veterinary manual that describes the anatomy of dairy cattle and the causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment of many diseases. Entries cover common conditions—abscesses, abortions, eye paralysis, anthrax, and others—presenting likely origins, diagnostic signs, preventive measures, and step-by-step remedies, including field treatments, disinfection, and medical dosing guidance. Organized for students and practitioners, it emphasizes clear, concise instructions for early recognition, management, and hygienic control of infectious and noninfectious problems, with attention to stable care, feeding, and hands-on procedures to restore animal health and limit contagion.

MEASLY BEEF.

It is produced by a larva of common tapeworm of man. These small tapeworm cysts (tænia saginata) are about the size of a pea and found in the flesh of cattle, which become infected by eating food or drinking water which has been contaminated by the feces of persons harboring adult tapeworms. Then again, the person becomes infected by eating raw or rare flesh of cattle infected with the larva stage of Measly Beef. Great care should be exercised to prevent cattle from becoming infested with this parasite. Persons’ feces should not be placed where it will infect food or drinking water that is consumed by cattle.
