Abstract

Long distance transportation can be a significant source of stress to cattle and is associated with increased risk of bovine respiratory disease (BRD). The administration of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) has been shown to reduce stress following long distance transport. The objective of this study was to compare production parameters, morbidity, and mortality between calves receiving either tildipirosin alone or in combination with transdermal flunixin on arrival at the feedlot.
