Although biosecurity practices play a role in minimizing respiratory disease in cattle, they must be used in combination with other management strategies that address the many other risk factors. Because the pathogens involved in bovine respiratory disease are enzootic in the general cattle population, biosecurity practices aimed at the complete elimination of exposure are currently impractical. Several animal husbandry and production management practices can be used to minimize pathogen shedding, exposure, and transmission within a given population, however. Various combinations of these control measures can be applied to individual farms to help decrease the morbidity and mortality attributed to respiratory disease.
尽管生物安全措施在将牛呼吸道疾病降至最低程度方面发挥着作用,但必须将它们与应对许多其他风险因素的其他管理策略结合使用。由于牛呼吸道疾病所涉及的病原体在普通牛群中呈地方流行性,旨在完全消除接触的生物安全措施目前并不实际可行。然而,几种畜牧和生产管理措施可用于在特定群体内尽量减少病原体的排出、接触和传播。这些控制措施的各种组合可应用于各个农场,以帮助降低因呼吸道疾病所致的发病率和死亡率。
