Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Bovine Respiratory Diseases—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a frequent and economically important disease in the cattle industry. The overall impact varies by production system and animal demographics. Despite advances in understanding of epidemiology, prevention methods, and therapeutic interventions, BRD remains a major disease in the cattle industry. The purpose of this Special Issue on “Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Bovine Respiratory Disease” is to align knowledge from multiple areas of research on this syndrome with the goal of generating a resource for current and future researchers. The scope of this Special Issue covers all aspects of BRD in cattle, ranging from the stages of production (pre-weaned and post-weaned cattle) to the type of operation (beef, dairy, intensively and extensively managed). Contributions can include a variety of aspects of BRD management, including epidemiology, diagnosis, economics, prevention, vaccinations, and therapy. This Special Issue will build on the existing literature and create a collection of articles not only summarizing current knowledge, but also providing a baseline for the next steps in BRD research.

All papers submitted to this Special Issue are reviewed by independent referees, and the final decisions are made by a Veterinary Sciences Editorial Board Member who does not have any conflict of interest with the submission.

Prof. Dr. Brad J. White
Guest Editor
