What is cow fever?

Cattle are constant temperature animals, the general body temperature will be stable in a small range, if the temperature increases, fever, then there must be a reason. First of all, the specific cause of bovine fever must be found, and then we can judge how to treat it and use appropriate and effective treatment. Now let's take a look.

1. The cause of fever

It is usually due to the occurrence of a disease, which then leads to a fever, or a rise in temperature caused by a heat source. We probably know that it is the source of bacterial infection, leukocyte infection, drug-induced, and protein-induced fever. Nerve damage or a fever caused by hormones. All of the above can cause fever.

2. Type of fever

Even a fever has different symptoms. It persists, and the temperature difference between day and night is no more than one degree. Could be lobar pneumonia. Persistent fever lasts for a long time, but the temperature exceeds one degree during the day and night, which may be septicemia, catarrhal pneumonia, suppurative pneumonia. A fever, not a fever, may be a hematozoonosis. The long interval between no fever may be chronic equine infectious anemia.

3. Recurrent fever

If the temperature increases, heatstroke, lack of water, will be feverish. Generally speaking, it may be that the temperature continues to rise in summer, for a long time, the cattle do not have a good number of knots, and the water supply is insufficient, so it leads to confusion in the body's function of regulating temperature. It is recommended to drink a lot of water and take a bath to relieve summer heat. Some vitamins are added to the food to enhance the resistance.

4. Points for attention

The normal temperature of cattle is 38 to 39, which is the temperature of adult cattle, and the temperature of calves is 38.5 to 39.5. The body temperature of young cattle is 38 ℃ ~ 39.5 ℃. So you may need to compare it. In general, the temperature rise of 1 degree is slight heat, 2 degrees is medium heat, and the temperature rise is more than 2 degrees. Hypothermia is usually a serious illness. In general, the thermoregulation ability of calves is much weaker than that of bulls.

Bovine fever generally has different manifestations, according to the specific performance to analyze the situation, determine the likely cause, shorten the diagnosis time.
