Abstract

Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) is the most common and economically detrimental disease of cattle during the post-weaning phase. Very little published information is available describing differences in subsequent performance based on the day when an animal is first identified and treated for BRD. The objective of this research is to determine whether animal performance and health outcomes are associated with when the animal was treated for respiratory disease.
