Anaplasmosis Blocks for beef cattle are now available at J&N Feed and Seed.
Anaplasmosis is a tick-borne, infectious disease of cattle that causes destruction of red blood cells. The disease is caused by a minute parasite, Anaplasma marginale , found in the red blood cells of infected cattle. It can be transmitted from infected animals to healthy animals by
insects or by surgical instruments.
To help prevent the spread of anaplasmosis, we carry free choice Anaplasmosis Blocks that aids in the control of active infection of anaplasmosis. Use on beef and non-lactating dairy cattle over 700 pounds.
