Q

What is the epidemiology of Acute Interstitial Pneumonia (AIP)

A
  • 72% feedlots have AIP
    • affects 2.8% cattle
  • Sporadic occurrence
  • More common in heifers
  • Later in feeding period (>60d)
    • avg days at death 114-136
  • Higher rates in summer
  • High case fatality (near 100%)
17
Q

What is the Etiology of Acute Interstitial Pneumonia (AIP)

A
  • Questionable association with common microbial pathogens
  • Unknown: dust, allergies, toxicity
  • Pneumotoxic effects of 3 methlindole
  • Multiple factors
18
Q

What are the clinical signs of AIP

A
  • Rapid disease onset - often fatal
  • Respiratory signs, but no fever
  • Open mouth breathing
  • May be found dead in pen
  • Nasal, oral discharge
19
Q

What is the pathology of AIP

A
  • Bronchiole constriction - lungs fail to collapse
  • Marked interlobular emphysema
  • Marked interlobular edema
  • Heavy, wet lungs
20
Q

How long does it take calves to get sick post infectious agent challenge

A
21
Q

What biophysical profile changes occur early in BRD?

A
  • Minimal changes in respiratory/heart rates
  • Complete blood count (CBC)/Chemistry panel
    • few meaningful changes
    • Inflammatory profile
22
Q

What are the common clinical signs of BRD? additional signs?

A
  • DART:
    • Depression
    • Anorexia
    • Respiration Increased
    • Temperature
  • Coughing
  • nasal discharge
  • Isolation from group
23
Q

What is the accuracy of Visual observation at diagnosing BRD?

A
  • Low
  • Sensitivity - 27-63%
  • Specificity - 63-92%
24
Q

When should be recommend ranchers observe their cattle?

A
  • At feed time (convenience) AND
  • At times of decreased social pressure (i.e. everyone else is eating so I should eat, everyone is moving to the other side of the pen so I need to move)
25
Q

What is the respiratory score chart based on?

A
  • 4 level scale
  • Rectal temperature
  • Presence of cough
  • Nasal discharge
  • Eye score
  • Ear score
26
Q

what is the cost of an imperfect diagnosis?

A
  • False negatives
    • Subclinical disease cost $39/head
  • False positives
    • Unnecessary treatments
27
Q

What are the available ancillary pathogen diagnostics?

A
28
Q

How can misdiagnosis be decreased through additional testing?

A

Improving Specificity

  • Use when false positives are a problem (low specificity of diagnostic test, low prevalence of disease, or high cost of false positive
  • Consider testing in series (or rather the calf should be positive on several tests to consider positive
    • E.g. Clinical diagnosis followed by confirmatory test

Improving Sensitivity

  • Use when false negatives are a problem (low sensitivity or diagnostic test, high prevalence of disease, or high cost of false negatives)
  • Consider testing in parallel (or rather apply multiple tests and consider calf positive if any of the results are positive)
    • E.g. apply clinical diagnosis daily and monitor individual calf feed intake
29
Q

What is the sensitivity and specificity of thoracic auscultation and ultrasonography?
