Epidemiological review reveals persistent high morbidity and mortality from bovine respiratory disease in feedlot cattle, highlighting available tools to lower incidence.

Key Points

To review the historical burden, current epidemiological status, and future intervention strategies for bovine respiratory disease across North American cattle operations.
Synthesized morbidity and mortality data across stocker, backgrounder, and feedlot cattle sectors in North America.
Analyzed national treatment rates from the 2011 United States Department of Agriculture National Animal Health Monitoring System feedlot survey.
Bovine respiratory disease accounted for 70% to 80% of total morbidity and 40% to 50% of total mortality in United States feedlots.
The 2011 national surveillance data demonstrated that 16.2% of all feedlot cattle received medical treatment specifically for bovine respiratory disease.
