Abstract

Myocarditis has become an increasingly diagnosed cause of death in fall-placed feedlot calves in western Canada. There are few published studies investigating the pathogens involved in this syndrome. The objective of this case control study is to determine the incidence of three proposed agents that are recognized as causes of infection in feedlot calves.
