Table 3. Predicted changes in productivity of the breeding-fattening, young bull feedlot and veal feedlot compartments in response to BRD incidence reduction in their corresponding at-risk production stages.

In each cell: Mean value (in bold type); between parenthesis: successively, 95% confidence interval with constant market values and 95% confidence interval with 5% variation in market values.

Sector Compartment (production stage at risk) Proportion incidence reduction
20% 50% 100%
Beef Breeding-fattening beef (beef calves) 1.1 (1–1.2; 1–1.2) 2.7 (2.5–2.9; 2.4–3.1) 5.5 (5.1–6; 4.8–6.3)
Young bull feedlot 2.2 (1.8–2.6; 1.6–3.1) 5.4 (4.4–6.4; 3.9–7.7) 10.7 (8.7–12.8; 7.8–15.3)
Dairy Breeding-fattening (dairy calves) 0 (0–0.1; 0–0.1) 0.1 (0.1–0.1; 0.1–0.1) 0.2 (0.1–0.3; 0.1–0.3)
Veal feedlot 0.5 (0.5–0.5; 0.4–0.6) 1.3 (1.2–1.3; 1.1–1.4) 2.6 (2.5–2.7; 2.2–2.9)
Young bull feedlot 1.5 (1.2–1.8; 1.2–1.9) 3.7 (3–4.4; 2.9–4.7) 7.3 (6–8.7; 5.7–9.3)
