Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) and neonatal calf diarrhea (NCD) have major impact on the profitability of the cattle industry in North America, resulting in substantial economic losses. Research has shown how trace minerals are crucial for the development of an adequate immune response in cattle, especially in stressed animals when they are more susceptible to BRD and NCD. Join Dr. Palomares as he discusses how strategic supplementation with Se, Cu, Mn and Zn within the herd is associated with enhanced cattle immune response and protection elicited by vaccination against BRD and NCD.
