    Dairy Goat Drugs with Dr. Michelle Buckley Nov 01, 2024

    Send us a text

    Join us for a discussion about subclinical mastitis in dairy goats caused by non-aureus Staph species (NAS) with Dr. Michelle Buckley. This research was completed during her time as a post-doctoral associate at Iowa State University with support from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Agricultural and Food Research Initiative Competitive Program, Mitigating Antimicrobial Resistance Across the Food Chain, Grant/Award Number: 2021-69015-33501. Dr. Buckley is currently an Assistant Professor of Clinical Practice at Texas Tech University: https://www.depts.ttu.edu/vetschool/about/meet-our-team/faculty/michelle-buckley/

    In this episode we discuss two drugs that can be used in an extra-label manner to address subclinical mastitis in dairy goats during the dry period: Orbenin DC (cloxacillin benzathine) and ToMORROW (cephapirin benzathine). Dr. Buckley's work evaluated how long it took for both drugs to leave the goats' bodies after administration in both meat and milk as well as how effective they were at curing subclinical mastitis due to non-aureus Staph. She also evaluated antimicrobial resistance development due to treatment with these long-acting intramammary products.
    The published work that we discuss is titled "Pharmacokinetics of long acting cephapirin and cloxacillin after intramammary administration in dairy goats" and it can be found in the Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jvp.13445
    Additional publications will be added to the episode notes as they become available.
    As part of this research, the Dairy Goat Extension and Education website was developed to provide veterinarians and producers with resources for ensuring antimicrobial stewardship and milk quality in dairy goats. This website includes short video training modules as well as electronic records templates and other useful resources: https://www.dairygoatextension.org/
    As we mention several times during this episode, the drug use discussed here is extra-label and will require extended withdrawal recommendations to avoid violative residues in the food supply after use. Please contact the Food Animal Residue Avoidance Databank for guidance here: http://www.farad.org/

    Catching up on CWD with Dr. Catheryn Haigh Aug 01, 2024

    Send us a text

    Join us for a discussion about the latest research in Chronic Wasting Disease in cervids.

    In this episode we talk with Dr. Catheryn Haigh with the from the Chief Prion Cell Biology Unit at the Rocky Mountain Laboratories, National Institutes of Health. We do a little looking at CWD's history, the current research and where it is going.
    Questions can be sent to Dr. Haigh at cathryn.haigh@nih.gov
    I said I would put a note about testing on deer farms. From what I can find as the only certified test is done during a necropsy any animal that has shown symptoms of CWD should be tested and the entire herd may be depopulated. But actual requirements vary by state.

    Send us a text

    Welcome to Season 2 of Baas and Bleats!
    In this season, Dr. Lesley Moser and Dr. Ann DiPastina, the 2022 AASRP Emerging Leaders, interview faculty liaisons and student representatives from veterinary colleges across North America to find out what they’re doing to prepare the next generation of veterinarians for small ruminant and camelid practice.
    What is the AASRP Emerging Leader Program?
    The Emerging Leaders Program gives young veterinarians with a passion for small ruminants an opportunity to become involved in leadership experiences within the American Association of Small Ruminant Practitioners. As an Emerging Leader, you’ll get to practice your leadership skills, network with members of various AASRP committees, and gain a better understanding of the role of organized medicine in the veterinary profession. You’ll also attend the Veterinary Leadership Conference, which is an excellent chance to develop relationships with leaders across many disciplines of veterinary medicine including academia and government.
    Probably the most exciting part of the Emerging Leaders Program, though, is designing and executing a project which integrates your interests in small ruminant medicine with the needs of the membership of AASRP.
    This year, Lesley and Ann have teamed up with other members of AASRP, including Dr. Michelle Buckley, to bring you the organization’s first podcast, “Baas and Bleats”.
    In Season 1, you heard from Michelle about managing milk quality in dairy goats. Now, in Season 2, we’ll be shifting gears to focus on our student membership. We hope these episodes empower veterinary students by highlighting examples of stellar faculty mentorship and excellent student initiative.

    Milk Quality Investigations - part 1 Nov 08, 2022

    Send us a text

    This week we sit down with one of our neighbors to the north, Dr. Cathy Bauman of Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Dr. Bauman's research focuses on helping producers identify, investigate, and mitigate milk quality issues as efficiently as possible. On this episode, we lay the groundwork for conducting a milk quality investigation on a goat dairy by introducing concepts for identifying a milk quality problem; measurable paramaters for evaluating milk quality (specifically somatic cell count and bacterial counts); general principles governing fluctuations in these numbers as they relate to milk production on a goat dairy; key players to have on your team during an investigation; and finally, Dr. Bauman discusses the relationship between high quality milk and cheese production. This is part 1 of a 2 part series that delves into a logical step-wise approach to working up milk quality issues on a dairy goat operation.
