Abstract
in English, French

Mollicutes nasal swab culture status and potential associations with health outcomes were determined in beef feeder calves. Mollicutes culture was positive in 7.6% (22/291) of calves at arrival and in 26.2% (34/130) of calves at first disease treatment. Positive Mollicutes culture at first treatment was associated with increased odds for subsequent retreatment or death.

Espèces de Mollicutes, prévalence de Mycoplasma bovis et association avec les résultats de santé chez les veaux d’engraissement à l’arrivée et au traitement initial pour la maladie respiratoire bovine. Le statut des cultures sur écouvillon nasal de Mollicutes et les associations potentielles avec les résultats de santé ont été déterminés chez des veaux d’engraissement. La culture de Mollicutes a été positive chez 7,6 % (22/291) des veaux à l’arrivée et chez 26,2 % (34/130) des veaux au traitement initial. La culture positive de Mollicutes au premier traitement a été associée à des risques supérieurs de traitement répété ou de mort.
