Abstract

The time period in which cattle are initially received into a feeding facility can be a period of intense physiological stress that renders the animal vulnerable to infection by pathogens of the bovine respiratory disease (BRD) complex. Delaying the time at which cattle are given the initial implant may be a way to decrease arrival stress and therefore positively affect health status and performance.
