Abstract

Heart disease is an animal health and economic concern to feedlot cattle producers. The objective was to determine as­sociations between heart measurements and heart lesions in feedlot cattle at necropsy. We hypothesize that heart measure­ments will differ between cattle with heart lesions present dur­ing gross necropsy vs. those without.
