US beef cattle production
• Transported to feedlots in “pots”– Pots are the common term for the type of
trailer used– A full trailer is termed a “pot load”– A pot load = 50,000 lbs (22,680 kg) of
calves– At 500 lbs a head = approximately 100
head of calves per pot load– On average – calves from at least 2 origins
on each pot load

US beef cattle production
• US Feedlots – in 1995– 41,365 feedlot operations in the top 13
states marketed 23.4 million cattle– 95.3% of feedlots had less than 1000 head
one time capacity– Feedlots with 1000 head or greater one
time capacity marketed 90.2% of cattle– Number of 1000 head plus capacity –
approximately 1,800 (1999)

• Data from Midwest feedlot collected from 1 Jan 2001 to 2 Feb 2006
• 31,131 cattle treated for respiratory disease• Diagnosis based on opinion of feedlot
personnel– Diagnosis based on– Animal appearance– Animal demeanor – Body temperature

Conclusions
• For 5WT and 6WT cattle, the earlier in the feeding period that cattle were diagnosed with BRD and treated the more times they were treated and had a decrease in ADG
• Steers were treated an average of 1.6 times

• Illness determination• Almost uniformly “subjective”• Animal appearance
– Lack of rumen fill, nasal discharge, increased respiratory rate and/or effort
• Animal demeanor– Lowered head and ears, reluctance to move,
decreased response to stimuli• Rectal temperature ?
– Must be interpreted in the context of the animals other clinical signs

US beef cattle production -Metaphylaxis
• Definition – the mass treatment of animal populations currently experiencing any level of disease before the onset of blatant illness
• Can be considered as a prevention as well as a curative treatment

US beef cattle production -Metaphylaxis
• General guidelines for metaphylactictreatment– 1. clinical appearance of cattle on arrival– 2. current (and expected) morbidity/ mortality
patterns– 3. feed consumption– 4. elevated body temperature – 5. efficacy of products labeled for the control of BRD

US beef cattle production -Metaphylaxis
• Factors to consider in predicting BRD – Lightweight cattle from multiple origins– Previous health history– Distance of travel to feedlot– Time of year– Weather– Transit conditions (weather extremes)
It may be helpful to plot BRD cases to predict disease incidence using epidemic curves
