A fungus grows on the dying, desiccating holly. It releases chemicals, anti-fungal agents, to inhibit other fungi. These also 'inhibit' the Ringworm on the cattle. The male holly which has no berries and sharper prickles is the best stuff for the job. A good armful of this bound up into a sheaf and suspended above the cattle at housing is what is needed.

On the family farm in Devon, we had a pair of Jacob sheep dumped on our farm, asked around no one took ownership. we had them for a bout four years, always gave a lamb. The only issue they would always escape through the smallest hole in the hedge row. As a solution we tied a short stick to the horns so when they tried to work the way through the hedge they were stopped by the stick, after two weeks or so moved the stick, never escaped again.

@Reptile_Gecko Жыл бұрын

@@cal9112 IF you don't know anything but an industry, don't even bother voicing your opinion, it'll be ignorant at best. And in reality many well cared for animals in the meat, dairy, wool, and egg industries actually have little desire to escape to the point if it happens it is an accident, they get lost or they get outside and are then fighting to get BACK in. Plus, the simple fact is, the meat industry especially will always exist, so what's the point in fighting as a whole when you'd get nowhere on an industry, that's not much worse than basic pet industries. Better to fighting the GENUINELY bad, and support the good, that DO exist, and are even at such a majority that some animal activities have actually been caught faking "evidence," or using clips from the same few factories they have because they don't have such luck actually finding more places.

Honestly animals are amazing with their ability to get stuck in the wildest ways. We had a cow once drop one back leg through an old wooden cistern cover. Had to lift her out with a tractor and manpower. Such a nightmare, it took hours, though the cow was fine. Dad and I built a big concrete cover over that thing the next day. And there really is nothing in the world that will bring you down a notch like trying to be a herding dog.

What if you made those fences that the highlands get stuck in with a way to unlock the pickets from the top so you wouldn't have to cut the picket every time they get stuck? You just unlock or unscrew the picket and lift it up and when they are out you slide it back in and lock it. Not sure if that's a good idea or not..

I had to deal with a cow with her horns stuck in a barrier. Not a highland but she was stuck in the small bit of the diagonal style barriers (at one end). I was asked to remove a horn but as she was due to be transported that wasn't appropriate. I managed it using a halter and some rope to get her in a position where one horn could go back through. Not easy but cow and barrier remained intact!

I had ringworm a few times years ago, when I used to spend a lot of time with horses. The easiest way to get rid of it that I found was to coat it with neat Vosene and let the shampoo dry on the skin. That's it. It can be a bit itchy afterwords but it always just went once I'd put on the Vosene! There are probably better ways to deal with it now but it definitely worked.

Holly doesn’t get rid of ringworm but dry conditions help reduce it (proven by research). You can however take athletes foot cream (which is already meant to treat fungus) and use that! Proven effective and works well on chest hands etc :) I’m sure the wife will appreciate it

@ChallieWallie Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I think the Holly trick is placebo. Ringworm on the body usually goes away on its own. Humans with a lowered immuunsysteem are more susceptible for infections. And in bad cases it can get ...bad. I can imagine these calves have a low immunity due to their age and their environment (no direct sunlight, chilly and moist barn). It just spreads amongst them and as they grow older they, their immune system takes care of it. I am sure if an animal gets really sick, Tom will have a vet intervene, but until then....if he believes that hanging up a dead Holly branch will help, let him be. It takes little efford and doesn't hurt the calves. It gives them some entertainment to watch him.

When I moved from a horse only yard to a young stock yard with my horses, one of them got ringworm too - just like the most of the young stock. I sprayed the affected areas on my horse with blue spray. The other horse grew up on a dairy farm so he probably had it as a youngster? They say that like with most childhood illnesses, you get immune. Of the young stock, only the ones under 6 months usually got it. Only one time a saw a heifer with ringworm in this barn. She was a bit unlucky either way. Blind in one eye, one horn missed with dehorning and full blown ringworm everywhere so no more scratches until they were gone.
