Abstract

Respiratory disease negatively impacts growth, reproductive performance, milk production, and longevity of adult cattle. Most calves diagnosed with clinical respiratory disease on dairy farms are treated with antibiotics. Treatment failure is not uncommon and although management factors likely contribute to these treatment failures, the role of antimicrobial resistance cannot be ruled out. Therefore, the objective of this study was to describe pathogen prevalence and antimicrobial resistance patterns for pathogens associated with respiratory disease isolated from samples submitted to the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory between 2008-2017.
