The prevalence of Mycoplasnfa bovis on Irish cattle terms

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a major problem of young stock, causing significant loss and compromising animal welfare. Exposure to Mycoplasma bovis increases the risk of calves being treated for respiratory disease.1 Mycoplasma bovis is not uncommonly isolated from the lungs of pneumonic calves2 so it's important when controlling respiratory disease in youngstock, that we understand its role.
