An on-farm observational study on the prevalence and associated factors of bacteremia in preweaned dairy calves diagnosed with bronchopneumonia by thoracic ultrasonography
The study indicates a low prevalence of bacteremia in dairy calves with BP diagnosed through TUS, suggesting that recommending treatment or revisions in disease management related to potential bacteremia in these patients may not be warranted. The findings imply that lung lesions detected via TUS may occur independently of bacteremia, highlighting the value of TUS for early diagnosing and monitoring BP in field conditions.
