Respiratory Diseases, What causes it? Dust, allergies, stressors, virus,…

- - - - Viral infection: IBR, PI3, BVD, and/or BRSV, and bacterial infection comes from Psturella and/or Haemophilus
    - - Tends to happen in fall, viruses don't like ultraviolet light
    - - In sickness, lost production, antimicrobial treatment costs, and death costs
  - - - fluid containing mucus and pus from the eye, nose, cervix, vagina or other due to infection and inflammation
  - - - Poor cholesterol transfer
      - Variety of pathogens at play
      - Stress
      - Genetics (regardless of colostrum)
- - - - The virus remains inactive until stressed
        
        And it opens the door for deeper infections
    - - But it opens up the body to deeper infections
    - - Injured lung and secondary defenses
        
        Bacterial infection (pneumonia, pasturella haemophilus)
        
        BRDC
- - - - Standing rather than laying down, abducted elbows, abdominal movement, extended neck
        
        Once they fall over, likely to succumb to disease
  - - - Isolate and rest
      - Manage: dust free bedding, feed
      - Work on diagnosing and then attempt to treat
        
        Consider a postmortem exam: lung cultures
      - Get acute and convalescent serum samples
        
        Bacterial or viral specific immunoglobulins (usually IgM) are measured
      - Have a vet, have a plan, and have a protocol
