Association of liver abscess with demographic factors, comorbidities and gastrointestinal histologic lesions in feedlot mortalities

Abstract

Liver abscess (LA) is a major cause of hepatic condemnation in feedlot cattle. Due to antemortem limitations, risk factors are poorly characterized. Study objective was to identify associa­tions of LA at necropsy with comorbidity/demographic factors and gastrointestinal histologic lesions in feedlot mortalities.
