Bovine respiratory disease: pathogenesis, clinical signs, and treatment in lightweight calves.
No matter what disease is being addressed, there are basic steps required for successful therapy. Failure to address each step systematically leaves a gap in the program that eventually shows up as inconsistency or failure in therapeutic efficacy. The focus in this article is on applying these steps in infectious bovine respiratory disease challenges in lightweight stocker calves.
