What is Bovine respiratory disease?
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD), also often called pneumonia, is a common and serious condition that affects the respiratory system of cattle.
It is caused by a combination of factors, including stress, overcrowding, poor ventilation, and exposure to respiratory pathogens. Symptoms of pneumonia include coughing, nasal discharge, difficulty breathing, fever and reduced appetite. Pneumonia in calves can lead to significant losses in productivity and profitability for farmers. Treatment typically involves the use of antimicrobials, anti-inflammatories and supportive care.
Preventative measures include vaccination, good hygiene practices and management strategies to minimise stress and overcrowding.
