The use of antibiotics at shipping time to suppress the occurrence of respiratory complex in cattle.

Koch, B.A.; Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; Cox, R.F.; Smith, J.; Boren, Fred W.
One of the major problems confronting cattlemen is control of the

occurrence of respiratory diseases such as shipping fever, colds, nasal

congestion. and pneumonia. These respiratory conditions are especially

troublesome to cattle feeders who ship and receive cattle during the fall

and winter months, when adverse weather conditions put added stress on

cattle.

This study is to investigate the value of various antibiotics administered

orally or by injection to weaning calves to control the occurrence of

respiratory diseases during the first few weeks they are in drylot.
