One condition that can be spread to other cows on a farm is anaplasmosis, which is caused by parasite that attacks the red blood cells. An infected animal will become anemic, feverish and unusually tired. While the condition most frequently affects adults, it can cause abortions or can result in weak calves in cows that are heavily bred.

Blood samples need to be taken in order to diagnose this condition. Any cows that are found down but still alive should also be tested. Contact The Last Ride large animal removal service to have deceased cows removed as soon as possible to help prevent further spread.
