Bovine respiratory disease

BRD 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 BRD include coughing, nasal discharge, difficulty breathing, fever and reduced appetite. BRD can lead to significant losses in productivity and profitability for farmers. Treatment typically involves the use of antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and supportive care. Prevention measures include vaccination, good hygiene practices, and management strategies to minimize stress and overcrowding.
