Abstract

Monitoring rectal temperature is a common component of health protocols, and treatment decision may be influenced by rectal temperature at time of initial diagnosis of bovine respiratory disease (BRD). The objective of this project was to determine potential associations between rectal temperature at first-time identification of BRD and the probability of not finishing the production cycle normally.
