As widely documented in research and field reports, calves meeting the criteria of “high-risk” experience increased disease incidence, costs, and profit losses. http://www.cattlenetwork.com/cattle-resources/brd/articles/BRD-risk-categorization-for-feeder-calves-200883151.html The beef feeding industry recognizes that feeder calves entering the finishing, back grounding, or stocker phases of production pose several challenges and risks. http://www.cattlenetwork.com/cattle-resources/brd/articles/Feeding-the-pregnant-cow-for-calf-health-and-resistance-to-BRD-198488231.html The bovine respiratory disease complex (BRD), sometimes called shipping fever or pneumonia, is an economically-important disease and a leading cause of death loss in beef cattle in North America. http://www.cattlenetwork.com/cattle-resources/brd/articles/Texas-AM-Mizzou-vet-schools-seeking-ways-to-stop-BRD-ASAP-180186121.html Both Texas A&M and the University of Missouri have acclaimed veterinary colleges, and the two schools have frequently collaborated on work involving animals. A current project could have a huge impact on the beef industry. http://www.cattlenetwork.com/cattle-resources/brd/articles/Vaccination-key-to-preventing-BRD-179314951.html Cattle producers should get their calves vaccinated for bovine respiratory disease before turning them out to pasture. http://www.cattlenetwork.com/cattle-resources/brd/articles/BRD-associated-with-Mannheimia-Haemolytica-or-Pasteurella-Multocida-127457448.html Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) associated with either Mannheimia haemolytica or Pasteurella multocida is often due to secondary bacterial invasion by these organisms. http://www.cattlenetwork.com/cattle-resources/brd/articles/Vaccinating-pregnant-cows-Reproduction-175250491.html When a cow is in the chute for pregnancy checking, many cow-calf producers take advantage of the opportunity to perform other necessary procedures to get their cows ready for the winter and the subsequent calving season. http://www.cattlenetwork.com/cattle-resources/brd/articles/Bovine-respiratory-disease-Diagnosis-in-the-live-calf-171205961.html When bovine respiratory disease strikes feedlot calves, veterinarians and cattlemen usually don’t spend a lot of time determining the specific bacteria or virus (or mix of both) causing the problem. http://www.cattlenetwork.com/cattle-resources/brd/articles/How-good-are-we-at-detecting-bovine-respiratory-disease-cases-170541856.html Of all the different illnesses that can affect cattle, one syndrome far and away outdoes the others: bovine respiratory disease (BRD). http://www.cattlenetwork.com/cattle-resources/brd/articles/Cattle-Health-Shipping-effects-on-respiratory-disease-risk-141752073.html Associations between distance traveled from sale barns to feedlots and overall performance, risk of respiratory disease and cumulative mortality in feeder cattle during 1997 to 2009.
