Neospora caninum is a major cause of abortions in cattle. First recognized in 1988, and linked to dogs in
1998, this parasite causes an infection called neosporosis. Studies have shown that at least half the dairy
and beef herds in the United States have one or more animals that have been exposed. In an infected
herd, up to 30 percent of the animals may test positive, and some cows may abort several times. With
good herd management, though, you can reduce this drain on your profits.
