Abstract: ABSTRACT.-Malafaia P., Granato T.A.L., Costa R.M., Souza V.C., Costa D. This study aimed to describe the diagnosis of health problems and to evaluate the cost of their treatment for cattle raised in feedlots to be slaughtered or to be sold as sires for cow--calf systems. Bovine respiratory disease and digestive disorders were the main problems diagnosed in the feedlot for slaughter; the cost for treatment was high, accounting for 9.7 to 20.9 kg of live weight (LW) or the equivalent of 7 to 15% of total LW gain… Show more

“…Respiratory diseases (Fig.1) are the leading morbid conditions in feedlot cattle in the United States (Sanderson et al 2008, Edwards 2010, Wilson et al 2017, Australia (Cusack 2004), Canada (Church & Radostits 1981, Smith 1998, and Brazil (Malafaia et al 2016, Baptista et al 2017. These diseases impact the meat industry, with direct losses due to deaths, treatment, and human resources and indirect losses associated with low animal development, increased permanence of cattle in the feedlot, and lower carcass yield (Smith 1998, Wilson et al 2017.…”

“…In Australia, the mortality rate reaches 50% (Hay et al 2016). In one study the Midwest region of Brazil (Malafaia et al 2016), 45% of the diagnoses of diseases in feedlot cattle were BRD, and in one feedlot in the Southeast (Baptista et al 2017), 87% of the total diagnoses were pneumonia and mortality from this disease was 20%. In the Southern region of RS, over 20 years, BRD represented 11% of all illnesses that causing death in cattle from several different feedlot systems (Estima-Silva et al 2020).…”

“…Current assessments of cattle welfare focus more on external management, such as space requirements, feeding and watering (Rahman, Xia, Su, & Cao, 2017;Väärikkälä, Hänninen, & Nevas, 2019), whereas little lights are brought to the healthy status of cattle itself. Ruminal acidosis and digestive disorders caused by intensive feeding system impair growth rate, feed efficiency (Bevans et al, 2005;Malafaia et al, 2016) and carcass quality (Gardner, Dolezal, Bryant, Owens, & Smith, 1999) of steers; thus, internal health of beef cattle should be also considered when optimizing diet.…”
