Introduction. Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the most costly disease of beef cattle in North America (1). It is also one of the most extensively studied, with research beginning in the late 1800s and continuing today.A recent review examined various proposed predisposing factors (2).iagnosis of bovine respiratory disease. Perhaps the greatest hindrance to better elucidating factors associated with BRD is difficulty in defining and/or identifying the disease. Postmortem diagnosis, in the absence of prior treatment, is the most definitive means.
BRD is a general term for respiratory disease in cattle caused by a range of factors, singly or in combination. A major cause of economic losses, BRD affects the lower respiratory tract / lungs (pneumonia) or upper respiratory tract (rhinitis, tracheitis, bronchitis).Etiology. BRD is defined as a âdisease complexâ: These pathogens interact with one another and the animalâs immune system to produce full-blown disease. 2  Bacterial pathogens apparently cause the acute syndrome by invading the bovine respiratory tract that has been compromised by viral infections, environmental conditions and/or other stress factors.
