Animals are listed according to number of fever days. If number of fever days are identical, the animal with highest lesion score is listed first. The acute phase rank is derived from the area under the acute phase response curve of the protein in question until the day of sacrifice, with 1 being the biggest area.
Mycoplasma dispar, Mycoplasma bovirhinis or Ureaplasma diversum.
P. multocida.
No response could be detected.
P. avium.
