Coughing and Respiratory Irritation in Calves and Sheep
Respiratory-related illnesses in livestock can have a significant financial impact on farm profitability. The estimated cost to the UK cattle industry alone is thought to be upwards of £80 million annually, with costs ranging from £30 for mild cases to £500 for cases such as pneumonia resulting in death.

Respiratory-related illnesses are most prevalent during the autumn and winter months when cattle and sheep are housed. Much like humans, the damp cold conditions can have a detrimental effect on the animal’s overall health and wellbeing. Young animals are especially susceptible to respiratory related illnesses as they have not yet developed a natural immunity to infectious organisms.
