Abstract

Thoracic ultrasonography and observation of lung ultrasonographic consolidation has been recently developed as a fast and non-invasive way to assess bronchopneumonia-associated lung lesions. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess the prevalence of lung consolidation in pre-weaned calves in dairy herds.
