• Resumen

  • BOVINE respiratory disease (BRD) has a major economic impact in different cattle production systems worldwide (Griffin 1997, Pardon and others 2013, Lehenbauer 2014) and is the main reason of antimicrobial use in calves and youngstock (Pardon and others 2012). Public concern to reduce and rationalise veterinary antimicrobial use has markedly increased in the last decade (BelVetSac 2014, MARAN 2015). Veterinary formularies have been constructed which advise sampling, bacterial isolation and antimicrobial susceptibility testing before certain antimicrobial classes can be used (Haneveld 2014, AMCRA 2015).
