S4 Ep53: Bovine Respiratory Disease: Research with Dr. Brad White

Dr. Brad White of Kansas State University and Director of the Beef Cattle Insitute talks about his team's research into Bovine respiratory disease, or Shipping Fever. Bovine respiratory disease costs ranchers in the United States about $900 million annually due to animal death, reduced feed efficiency and treatment costs. The research represents the most comprehensive assessment of risk factors and pathological characteristics of late day pulmonary disease ever reported, generating valuable results that will help ranchers and veterinarians improve animal welfare, mitigate the negative impacts of this disease while promoting antimicrobial stewardship.
