🐮 New Research Alert! Evaluation of Strategic Chute-side Point-of-Care Ultrasonography Viability for Identification of Interstitial Pneumonia.
Thrilled to have Dr. Luis Feitoza present his research at the AVC (Academy of Veterinary Consultants) in Denver on August 9th! The research highlights the practical applications of chute-side diagnostics in predicting 60-day outcomes for feedlot cattle with respiratory disease.
Key insights:
🌟Significant associations between ultrasound lung scores and treatment outcomes.
🌟Cattle with higher lung scores (ULS 5) are more likely to experience treatment failure and not finish the feeding phase.
🌟Identifying these prognostic parameters helps improve animal welfare and antimicrobial stewardship.
🌟 Ultrasound lung scores and body weight are significant predictors of treatment success.
🌟Pulmonary ultrasound, combined with demographic factors, can enhance prognostic accuracy and inform better management practices.
This work underscores the importance of precise diagnostics in improving cattle health and welfare. Follow us to learn more about POCUS in Cattle!
