Use of fever detection in combination with thoracic ultrasonography to identify respiratory disease and compare treatments of antimicrobials and NSAID: a randomised study in dairy calves

摘要

This study explored the combined use of fever detection and thoracic ultrasonography to identify calves with early onset bovine respiratory disease (BRD). Thoracic ultrasonography was then used to assess the efficacy of antimicrobial and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment for early onset BRD through a randomised study design.
