1 What are the best ways to deal with herd infectious disease problems? VMS 361 Animal Disease Management Principles Dr. John Gay, DVM PhD DACVPM Associate Professor, FDIU 2 Given that most infectious agents remaining as problems (we ve gotten rid of the easy ones): Are ubiquitous (holoendemic) If they haven t been found on a farm, they likely haven t been looked for hard enough Are opportunists Survive well in the environment, often months Aren t reliably curable with drugs Establish carrier states in herdmates who then shed it Vaccines are not 100% effective (if even available) Often co-evolved with their bovine host What is the best approach and what is needed for that approach? Animals in a group have different infection and disease statuses Exposure Status Infection Status Disease Status Un exposed Un infected Sub Clinical Exposed Infected Clinical Disease (Apparent) Morbidity (Sickness) Mortality Mild Severe Fatal Recovered The disease "Iceberg means most diseased animals are not detectable visually Most infections are subclinical Typically > 10:1 Can't identify every infected animal easily Important because some animals are more susceptible than normal Neonates Animals with other diseases 3 In a herd you have to manage animals in all of these states 4 Goal: Separate the susceptible from the potential subclinical Due to the iceberg phenomenon, most disease loss in a herd is hidden 5 Severity NORMAL CLINICALSEEN Tip SUB- CLINICAL Iceberg Herd Distribution UNSEEN ACTUAL LOSS $ $ $ $ 6 The performance loss from subclinical disease is often the same as that from clinical disease Wittum et al. J Am Vet Med Assoc (1996) 209(4): steers followed from birth to feedlot to slaughter 35% (164) treated for BRD Pulmonary lesions at slaughter: 78% (128) of treated steers 68% (207) of untreated steers (subclinical!) 0.2 lb ADG reduction 46 lb slaughter weight reduction Prevention is key to preventing production loss! 1
2 Prevention beats cures every time Clinical cases are the tip of the iceberg red flags Clinically Affected 7 Cures are stop loss at best Normal Subclinically Affected Consider clinically affected animals Red Flags! They indicate the presence of a serious herd problem They are not the full extent of the problem 8 One goal is reducing infection transmission between infected and susceptible in a herd 9 Reproductive Ratio (R o ) is the number of secondary infections due to each infection > 1 : Infection spreads = 1 : Infection is stable < 1 : Infection dies out Hard to reduce in intensive management agents co evolved and survived with hosts when they were extensive, free ranging Goal: Get R 0 less than 1 so agent disappears from herd Infection transmission occurs in two forms 10 Infected Offspring Vertical Horizontal Vertical transmission can occur: In utero born infected! During birth Infected colostrum Suckled milk Susceptible Transmission has three steps escape, environmental survival, and infection Infectious agents get out and in many ways Mammalian Body from bug s perspective Into susceptible animal Out of infected Animal 11 al survival phase 12 Multiple entry and exit portals! From Mims' Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease, 5 th ed,
3 For most enterics, the major transmission cycle is fecal oral and fecal exposure is the major risk In general, minimize all sources of stress 13 X Note the exceptions that trap the unwary Stress plays a major role in Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) Nasal Cavity Oral Cavity Trachea Wind pipe Ventral Lung Lobes Larynx Voice Box Lungs 16 Five steps lead to BRD occurrence: 1. Stress and upper respiratory ciliary damage 2. Growth of normal bacteria in upper airways 3. Failure of the mucocilliary protection mechanism to clear the ventral lung (gravity) 4. Proliferation of normal nasal bacterial flora (Mannheimia hemolytica A1) out of place in ventral lung 5. Vicious cycle of infectious inflammation in the dependent ventral lung Stress + virus + bacteria = BRD BRD involves a wide range of infectious agents, some primary and many secondary Bacteria Mannheimia (Pasteurella) hemolytica A1 Pasteurella multocida H. Somnus Mycoplasma spp. Salmonella spp. A. pyogenes Bacteroides spp. S. aureus Streptococcus spp. E. coli Klebsiella Chlamydia spp. Ureaplasma spp. Virus BHV 1 (IBR) BRSV PI3 BVD Adenovirus BHV 4 Rhinovirus Reovirus Enterovirus Parasite Dictyocaulus viviparus
4 Mannheimia hemolytica is the most common BRD pathogen Bacteria Mannheimia (Pasteurella) hemolytica serotype A1 Normal bacterial flora in tonsillar crypts Spreads easily between calves Proliferates when: Animal is stressed Viral upper respiratory infection occurs When certain feeds (silage) are fed The mucocilliary clearance mechanism removes particles from lungs Based on Cilia waves: Moves mucous from respiratory tract to throat swallowed Moves at 1.5 cm / min with 1,500 waves / min Clears 90% of bacteria in 4 hrs Damaged by infectious agents, dust and fumes diesel smoke, ammonia, corral dust Normal Cilia (Electron Micrograph) Ciliary damage slows or stops the clearance mechanism In BRD normal bacteria proliferate, move to lung, are not cleared, and cause inflammation Normal bacteria proliferate in Nasal Cavity Bacteria are inhaled Bacteria release toxins, attracting WBCs Lungs BRD lung damage is due to a vicious cycle of inflammation 24 M. hemolytica grows in the accumulating tissue fluid M. hemolytica attracts white cells from bloodstream M. hemolytica leukotoxin kills the white cells White cell components cause lung damage, releasing tissue fluid and attracting more white cells Animal s natural response causes the lung damage! 4
5 Looking at the question another way Farm Level Reality Most diseases are endemic DDH Non Exposed Farms 0! Exposed Farms All infected Some sick, some well The most important question: If almost all herds have these infectious agents, why do few herds have animals sick with them? Production systems are dynamic relationships between animals, infectious agents, and their environments When disease problems occur: After asking What s wrong?, ask How did the system get here? Ask What changed? A change in one point of the system often leads to unintended consequences elsewhere A common error is to define the problem not by what s happening in the system but by the lack of our favorite solution (D Meadows) 25 The answer the presence of risk factors in those herds 26 For more, see A Systematic Approach to Herd Disease Outbreak Investigation at jmgay/documents/wcabpherdproblemsolving10procdngs.pdf A particular infectious dose results in differing severity in a herd Clinical disease doesn t occur when resistance is high relative to exposure dose Infected Subclinical Increase Resistance Innate Resistance 27 Clinical Unaffected or Recovered Low High Resistance Goal: Reduce infectious dose, increase host resistance 28 Exposure Dose Both vary over time and location as seasons change and animals move through the production cycle Pattern of Resistance Calves Pattern of Resistance Cows Resistance Calf Nutrition Dystocia Stress Resistance Nutrition No Disease BCS DMI Mixing Transition Stress! Disease! Birth Dam Nutrition Bad Colostrum Mgmt! Vaccination Time Weaning Agent Exposure Dose Most Infectious Diseases are Opportunists! Note that there are more opportunists than there are vaccines! 5
6 Most vaccines provide marginal protection but not absolute protection Vaccinate Stress Event Clinical disease outbreaks result from a breakdown that initiates a vicious cycle Less Susceptible s Now Affected! 31 Resistance Decreased Agent Exposure Dose No Disease Disease! High exposure or severe stress overwhelms the best vaccine immunity 32 Higher Exposure Highly Susceptible Low Exposure Higher Shedding from Clinical Disease Lower Shedding from Subclinical Infection Factor Change? Heavier al Contamination Moderate Contamination Focusing on a bug keeps us stuck in a rut! Vaccinate it! The Animal On unoriginal thoughts: The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources The Disease Agent The Pretty much ignore this! Albert Einstein Kill with antibiotics! Albert Einstein s more relevant quotes: On the other hand: The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them If you can't dazzle them with dexterity, baffle them with bullshit Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results Professor H. Hill 35 We do this a lot in disease problems like calf scours and bovine respiratory disease 36 Which this is you will have to figure out 6
7 Focus on the entire husbandry system rather than individual diseases The Animal s Disease severity is determined by many factors Lower Severity Higher Severity Lower Dose Higher Dose Middle Aged Neonate or Elderly The Disease Agents The (Housing, Nutrition,...) Lower Stress Adequate Cu, Se, Vitamins A, E No other diseases Higher social dominance Higher Stress Deficient Cu, Se, Vitamins A or E Other diseases, co-infections Lower social dominance MANAGEMENT Lower producing Higher specific immunity Higher producing Lower specific immunity 37 Different diseases have common risk factors Infected Horizontal Transmission Chain Sheds Agent in oral & nasal secretions, urine, feces Contaminated Hands, Thermometers, Equipment, Feed, Water, Boots,.... Becomes Agent survives at Infectious Dose Susceptible Minimize infectious agent flow through all links of the transmission chain 40 Infected Isolate Reduce shedding level Sheds Agent Remove contaminated materials Increase agent death rate (Hands, Housing, Food, Water...) Increase Resistance Isolate to minimize infectious dose Agent survives at Infectious Dose Susceptible This flow will occur almost inevitably if the agent isn t present now but the risk factors are! Herd "Hardening" is applying strategies that reduce dose and shift the curve Apply the general principles to the entire farm system 41 No of Animals Take advantage of increasing resistance with age Separate groups with high shedding risk from those with high acquiring risk Decrease survival opportunities of agents Attack all the agent transmission routes The greatest weakness of most strategies is the failure to address all the transmission routes 42 The neonatal calf is the most susceptible animal on most farms Maximize the calf s natural resistance and acquired immunity Delay and minimize the infectious dose the calf is exposed to Because these agents are ubiquitous, calf must eventually acquire the infection and develop an active immunity 7
8 Don't feed antibiotics unless for specific, short duration treatment! Not effective against viruses or protozoa Most scour causing bacteria are resistant! Selects for more resistance Increases host susceptibility to other infections Maximize passive transfer by monitoring it Passive antibody level vs. scours (J Dairy Sci 71: (1988)) Number & Severity of Scour Episodes 43 Avoid antibiotics in milk replacer and starter! 44 Absorbed Passive Antibody Level Anything you don t monitor you likely aren t doing as well as you could Antibodies control bacteria But only in the calf! Handle colostrum like grade A milk for sale Disease causing bacteria grow just as well in colostrum as in milk These bacteria are transferred with the colostrum into the blood stream Harvest into sanitized containers and refrigerate or freeze it if not used immediately Don t pool! BLV, Salmonella, and Johnes are transferred by colostrum Disease risk can occur in unexpected ways Colostrum cooling on the parlor floor (Remember the little black spots) Anything wrong here?
9 Apply sufficient cleaning and sanitizing criteria General Rules: Look Clean Feel Clean Smell Clean Agents die by exponential decay in the environment Infected Shedding Level Number of Infective Particles Half Life Curve Time to ½ Level = Half Life If it doesn t, it ain t Agent shed into Time Time reduces exposure dose, reducing exposure consequences Infected Shedding Level Number of Infective Particles Clinical Disease Subclinical Infection Clinical Infection Threshold Subclinical Infection Threshold Proper sanitation breaks the half life curve Infected Shedding Level Number of Infective Particles Half Life Curve Sanitation Applied 51 Agent shed into No Infection Time 52 Agent shed into Time Goal: Reduce agent level below infectious dose for typical susceptible animal 53 For sanitation success doing each cleaning and disinfection step is critical First Step Thorough rinsing and cleaning, whether hutch, hands, or nipples Remove all organic matter (feces, blood, milk, milk stone, milk fat, saliva) Protects infectious agents from action of disinfectants (chemical or direct sunlight) Soap, water, and scrubbing are the most important; mechanically removing the agents People often want to skip this step because of the elbow grease often involved 54 Chemical disinfection requires an effective agent at concentration with full contact time Use a disinfectant with labeled effectiveness against target agents Many are not effective, such as Pinesol al surfaces 1 stroke Environ Tissue contact Nolvasan or tamed iodine General use Virkon S Allow adequate contact time (temperature dependent) at sufficient concentration Organic material (milk, manure) inactivates most disinfectants, especially chlorine based Chlorine begins evaporating when mixed People often use a solution too long, use too little, and don t allow sufficient contact time 9
10 VirkonS is one of the best overall disinfectants The final step of full drying is critical! ounces of Virkon S per gallon of water One gallon of solution treats 135 square feet ~$100 per 10 lbs For more information, see CFSPH Disinfection 101 at 56 Some agents are not killed by disinfectants, only full drying Low levels of other agents will likely remain that can begin replicating later Salmonella will grow on a wet board! A common error is to leave the items in the final tank with the disinfectant, assuming they will be sterile when removed When hands are not visibly soiled, alcohol based rubs are more effective than soap and water Bacterial Reduction 57 Time After Application % log log minutes Alcohol-based handrub (62% ethanol) Antimicrobial soap (4% Chlorhexidine) Plain soap Adapted from: Hosp Epidemiol Infect Control, 2 nd ed., Apply full pump stroke, rub until dry 58 Principles for reducing pre calving exposure Beef Move cows and heifers to separate calving areas several weeks before calving Skin and hair of cows on winter feed and bed ground have infectious agents shed by carrier cows Heifers generally have poorer colostrum Heifers need more calving supervision To avoid sophomore slump, heifers should be bred to calve one month ahead of cows Principles for reducing post calving exposure Beef 1 Day after calving, move pair to large pasture area to spread out Exposed calf takes about 3 days to begin shedding agent in large numbers If scours develops in a group, leave all of that group in place but turn out new pairs to a new pasture Remember the Iceberg Principle: Many calves will be subclinical shedders! Beef Calving System "The Sandhills Calving System" Developed in Nebraska by Dr. David Smith and colleagues
11 Reducing post calving exposure Dairy Within first day, move calf to a cleaned individual hutch isolated from contact and air space of other calves Sanitize anything that contacts calf s mouth prior to that contact (nipples, esophageal feeders, pill guns, hands) Reducing post calving exposure Dairy After weaning from milk, group by age in progressively larger groups 1 to 7 to 14 to 28 DO NOT hold back calves on the basis of small size; these are often carrier animals that will infect younger groups Group poor doers separately The House Fly Musca domestica Flies transmit dangerous disease agents Mouth Parts ½ of "fly spots" are regurgitation of previous meal 63 Puparium (Pupal Case) 64 What do you suppose the calf ingests besides water when drinking? Colostrum cooling on the parlor floor Damp straw bedding is a fantastic fly incubator Dead Flies! 65 Don t overlook the cycles of the vermin (flies, rodents, birds)! 66 Parasitic wasp raisers grow their flies in damp straw! 11
12 Most of all, avoid PPM! Bad Management overwhelms the Best Vaccine every time! The Last Lecture: Achieving your childhood Dreams Randy Pausch
