Abstract
Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in bovine calves, especially around the weaning period, when the calves are usually moved from individual to group housing. BRD has negative performance and economic consequences that extend well beyond the actual event. Therefore, we aimed to compare BRD morbidity, mortality and growth in dairy and dairy beef cross-bred calves during the first commingle groups using 2 different BRD prevention strategies. We hypothesized that one or both prevention strategies would reduce BRD morbidity and mortality, resulting in better health status and performance in calves.
