Background : Bovine respiratory disease is the second most common cause of mortality in calves, resulting in significant reductions in growth rates as well as long‐term issues such as delays to age at first calving. It is also a leading cause of antimicrobial use in calves and a large time factor for farmers dealing with sick calves. Management of bovine respiratory disease is therefore an essential part of sustainable livestock farming. Aim of the article : This article discusses the use of thoracic ultrasound as a tool to support management of bovine respiratory disease, with examples of how it can be used on farm.
