Sinead and Abi H trialled lung scanning at one of dairy farms last week.

11-16% of BRD (bovine respiratory disease) is clinically visible but 23-67% is subclinical. There is a huge amount of BRD that we can’t see which will be impacting farm productivity and profitability. BRD can result in decreased daily weight gains, delayed age at 1st calving, more days on feed and increased cull rate.

Lung scanning can be used to:
🐄Regularly monitor your youngstock
🐄Assess response to treatment
🐄Score calves on arrival
🐄Monitor pneumonia prevalence in youngstock
🐄Demonstrate the benefits of vaccination
🐄Help make decisions about culling or keeping

Here are some severe abscesses we picked up on the scan. This calf is a score 4 and has previously been treated for pneumonia. This will affect its growth rate in the future. This can be seen in comparison with a video of some healthy lungs we also scanned at the visit.

Get in touch if this service would benefit your herd!
