Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD)

- Purpose

The purpose of this multidisciplinary guideline is to improve the opportunities
of managing BRD and create executive steps and recommendations to implement these
opportunities in clinical practice. Specifically, the goals are to improve BRD diagnostic accuracy, identify animals that are most susceptible to get the disease, and educate veterinarians the most effective therapeutic interference (the choice of suitable antibiotic, the anti-inflammatory, bronchodilator, supportive therapy). Additional goals are to evaluate the management protocols for control and prevention of BRD spread among farms by early detection and scoring the clinically affected calves.
