PST 06107 Basic Veterinary Pharmacology Session 15: Pharmacotherapy of Aspiration Pneumonia and Pneumonia in Cattle and Goat Learning Tasks By the end of this session students are expected to be able to: Define Aspiration Pneumonia and Pneumonia in Cattle and Goat List signs and symptoms of Aspiration Pneumonia and Pneumonia in Cattle and Goat Explain the pharmacological treatment of Aspiration Pneumonia and Pneumonia in Cattle and Goat Explain the control and prevention of Aspiration Pneumonia and Pneumonia in Cattle and Goat Activity: Buzzing What is Pneumonia in Cattle ? Definition of Pneumonia in Cattle and Goat Pneumomnia is an inflammation of the pulmonary parenchyma usually accompanied by inflammation of the bronchioles and often by pleurisy Important pathogens that cause pneumonia in cattle are; Mannheimia haemolytica serotype A , Haemophilus somnus , P. multocida , Mycobacterium bovis , Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies mycoides small colony type, Parainfluenza virus 3, Bovine respiratory syncytial virus, Bovine herpes virus 1 Signs and Symptoms of Aspiration Pneumonia in Cattle and Goat It is manifested clinically by an increase in respiratory rate, cough, abnormal breath sounds on auscultation and, in most bacterial pneumonias, by evidence of toxemia. Bronchopnemonia is usually accompanied by a moist, painful cough; interstitial pneumonia is characterized by frequent, hacking coughs, often in paroxysms. The presence of nasal discharge depends on accompanying inflammation of the upper respiratory tract. Pharmacological treatment of Pneumonia in Cattle and Goat Sulfamethazine : initial 220 mg/kg; maintenance 110 mg/kg q 24 h, PO for 5-7 days, or Procaine penicillin G, 22,000 IU/kg, aqueous suspension, IM or SC q 24 h for 3 to 5 days, or Ampicillin trihydrate 22 mg/kg, IM, SC, q 24 h for 3-6 days, or Amoxicillin trihydrate 11 mg/kg, IM, SC, q 24 h for 3-7 days, or Oxytetracycline hydrochloride 11 mg/kg, SC, q 24 h or long acting formulation, 20 mg/kg, IM, q 48 h for 3-5 days, or Tylosin 44 mg/kg, IM, q 24 h for 3-5 days. Activity: Brainstorming What are the prevention measures for Pneumonia in Cattle? Prevention and Control of Pneumonia in Cattle and Goat Given the multi-factorial nature of the disease, good calf pneumonia control programmes rely on implementing an appropriate vaccine strategy, alongside improvements to management practices to reduce the risk of disease Provide appropriate calf housing with good ventilation; plenty of air, no draughts and a well bedded dry lying area Prevent scour and manage outbreak properly if they occur Prevention and Control of Pneumonia in Cattle and Goat Cont … Prevent BVD in the herd through culling and testing practices Outdoor reared calves are generally at lower risk of pneumonia Implement vaccination program. Vaccines are available that will enhance protection against the common viral and some of the bacterial causes of pneumonia Calves can be vaccinated from two weeks of age (i.e. IBR vaccine). The vaccination program is two shots, four weeks apart A booster dose should be given before the next risk period Key Points Several species of bacteria have been isolated in Cattle, but the most commonly found species are Mannheimia haemolytica . (Formerly known as Pasteurella haemolytica ), P. multocida , Histophilus (Haemophilus) somnus and Mycoplasma spp. M. haemolytica . (P. haemolytica ) and P. multocida are the most important bacteria involved in Cattle Pneumonia . Early recognition by trained personnel skilled at detecting the early clinical signs of disease followed by treatment with antibiotics is essential for successful therapy Evaluation What is aspiration pneumonia? What are the common signs and symptoms of pneumonia in cattle? What is the pharmacological treatment of pneumonia in Cattle? References Riviere J. E., Papich M. G. (2009).
