Spirometric performance in Belgian Blue calves: I. Effects on economic losses due to the bovine respiratory disease complex.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine whether high spirometric performances in calves are associated with low economic losses due to the bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC). Five spirometric variables (SV) were measured in 909 double-muscled Belgian Blue calves from 15 to 60 d of age. Afterward, calves were monitored for 6 mo to determine whether they developed BRDC and to determine the costs due to BRDC (i.e., medicine costs and veterinarians' fees, plus estimated financial losses due to mortality in c… Show more

“…Belgian Blue calves with low maximal ventilation (the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled and exhaled in 1 minute) and low vital capacity (the maximum amount of air expelled from the lungs after a maximal inhalation) were found to be at increased risk of BRD. 24 Further studies evaluating the physiological risk factors for BRD, such as the efficacy of alveolar-arterial gas exchange, are warranted.…”

“…Las enfermedades infecciosas respiratorias agudas son una de las mayores causas de morbilidad y mortalidad en animales dedicados a la producción. Ello posiblemente se deba a la necesidad de criar los animales bajo sistemas intensivos; tales enfermedades son las responsables de grandes pérdidas económicas (1,2). Dentro de la amplia gama de microorganismos potencialmente patógenos, bacterias del género Pasteurella sp.…”

“…En general, las patologías inducidas por bacterias Gram negativas tienen un impacto muy importante sobre los animales de producción sometidos a altas densidades y por ende a mala calidad del ambiente (Meyer, 1991;Bonilla & García-Delgado, 1993;Murtaugh et al 1996). Dentro de estas enfermedades, las entidades respiratorias son consideradas como causantes de grandes pérdidas económicas en distintas especies animales (Andrews & Kennedy, 1997;Bureau et al 2001). En bovinos, aves y cerdos se han demostrado pérdidas anuales de millones de dólares tanto por muertes como por bajas en la producción (Coy et al 1997;Griffin, 1997;Brockmeier & Register, 2000).…”
