LEARN ABOUT BRD
Getting a head start on BRD education can make all the difference for your farm. But what exactly should you look for?
WHAT IS BOVINE RESPIRATORY DISEASE?
Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) is one of the most common disease problems that affect cattle. Many factors that induce stress in cattle can contribute to BRD, including, but certainly not limited to, the stresses of shipping and comingling. It impacts all areas of an operation—productivity, resources and profit. Learn what to look for, steps for prevention and possible treatment options.
Below you’ll find information about diagnosis, treatment, and preventing BRD.
Diagnosis
Early recognition of the clinical signs of BRD is important in reducing the impact of disease on the animal. Clinical signs that may be seen include depression, reduced intake and respiratory signs such as coughing, nasal discharge and difficulty breathing.
