This will be a great opportunity to learn more about Theileria orientalis!
Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) already affects nearly all cattle operations in Kansas and nearby states.
When other diseases — like Theileria — are added to the mix, outcomes can worsen quickly.
Kansas State University veterinarians are already seeing Theileria in more than 150 cattle herds across Kansas and surrounding states.
In some affected herds, losses have approached 50–60%.
This upcoming program breaks down:
✔ How Theileria spreads
✔ What insects have to do with it
✔ What steps can reduce risk in real-world operations
Be sure to join us at the Fort Scott Livestock Market on Wednesday, February 25th to learn more!
