Why Should I use it?

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the most significant cause of deaths among calves greater than one month of age. BRD has a huge negative impact on growth and performance of both beef and dairy animals. Therefore, Consequences of the disease can manifest later in life with decreased milk production in the first lactation and decreased daily weight gain.
