Bovine respiratory disease is a leading cause of cattle welfare compromise, and precision technology is improving early detection and treatment outcomes.
BRD causes significant and often prolonged welfare compromise through fever, respiratory distress, and secondary sequelae including chronic lung damage. Subclinical BRD impairs growth and immune function without obvious clinical signs, meaning many cases are treated late or not at all. Precision monitoring technology that detects abnormal coughing patterns, activity reductions, and temperature elevations enables earlier, more targeted treatment that reduces the duration and severity of welfare compromise.
