Abstract

Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) continues to be one of the major health concerns in the cattle industry. It is a multifactorial disease typically caused by infection of immune-compromised calves with both viral and bacterial pathogens. The purpose of this study was to compare the metaphylactic efficacy of various antimicrobials in high-risk beef calves.
