The effect of clenbuterol on lung function parameters in calves suffering from bronchopneumonia

J Nuytten et al. Vet Res Commun. 1986 Nov.

Abstract

Pulmonary function testing was performed in calves affected with bronchopneumonia. In these calves respiratory rate, viscous work per litre air and per minute, intrapleural pressure difference, mean inspiratory and expiratory flow rate and ventilation per minute were significantly increased. Total resistance of the lung was just not significantly increased. Dynamic compliance and tidal volume were significantly reduced. The main effect of clenbuterol was a significant increase in dynamic compliance. The reduction in the total resistance of the lung was just not significant. These results indicate that clenbuterol can antagonise, at least partly, the alterations caused by bronchopneumonia.
