Dairy Calf Pneumonia

The Disease and Its Impact

Trevor R Ames 1,*
PMCID: PMC7135296  PMID: 9368984

Abstract

The author discusses the syndrome of respiratory disease in dairy calves, reviewing the disease and the causative agents. Attention is given to the epidemiology of the disease with discussion of morbidity, mortality, proportionate mortality and risk factors associated with dairy calf pneumonia. The economic impact of dairy calf pneumonia is discussed in detail and management options for calf rearing are suggested.
