摘要

Speed is of the essence when it comes to treating pneumonia cases effectively and limiting lung damage. Alfredo Sanz Moreno, livestock veterinary adviser with MSD Animal Health, says: "Look and listen for the clinical signs of pneumonia such as a reduction in feed intake, coughing and runny noses and take calf temperatures. Normal body temperature is 38.6deg C and anything higher than 39.4deg G indicates the calf is under disease challenge and lung damage may have started.
