Sudden Death of Feedlot Cattle - GPVEC

Pierson found that 47% of the sudden deaths were a direct result of respiratory disease. However, Glock and DeGroot (1998) indicated that bronchopneumonia should not be considered a cause of sudden death. If bronchopneumonia is eliminated from the Pierson et al (1976) study, acidosis and bloat would be the most common causes of sudden death. ................
