From: Bovine respiratory microbiota of feedlot cattle and its association with disease
Triggers affecting the healthy respiratory ecosystem and leading to the onset of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in newly weaned beef cattle. The bovine respiratory ecosystem has an increased risk of disequilibrium and subsequent BRD signs when the host is affected by pathogens, changes in the environment and managements (e.g., weaning, commingling, transportation, and dietary changes etc.).
