British Cattle with circovirus?
Pat Gardiner
Circovirus - thoroughly underestimated and covered up by Britain's
bent government vets.
It's a pity they are not as good at animal health as they are at
cover-ups and intimidation.

Germany: cause of blood sweating in calves still obscure
//05 Nov 2009
German researchers investigated 52 calves from 42 farms in Germany,
which suffered from a haemorrhagic disease with unknown cause. Similar
cases appeared recently in the Netherlands, Scotland, England, and
Wales where is spoken of fatal bleeding calf syndrome ...
...Using a broad-spectrum PCR, a circovirus with high similarities to
porcine circovirus type 2b (PCV2b), was detected in several of the
affected calves.
Conclusion
The distinct cause of the disease still remains unknown. Potentially,
the pathogenesis is complex and includes components such as infection,
hereditary disposition, and immune- mediated destruction of blood cell
precursors.
Further investigations are necessary to clarify the role of PCV2.

This is not good news, at all. What next? If it isn't one thing or
it's another. I've personally fought some of these battles for a
hell of a long time. My answer was to get out of the business of
producing live animals for food, years ago.
But with Europe's current problems, those in the U.K......it's become
almost overwhelming. I honestly don't know how or what I can do
anymore to offset the "one-after-another" onslaughts of disease
outbreaks for your U.K. producers.
A total way of life is being destroyed. It's Very Sad to watch.
