Assessment of Blood Concentration of Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) in Healthy Calves and Stocker Calves Effected with Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex
Bovine respiratory disease complex remains one of the most economically important diseases of stocker cattle. Reports of myocardial
injury associated with BRDC have been limited to necropsy findings. An animal-side diagnostic test for cardiac troponin I (cTnI)
has been validated for use in cattle. The objective of this study was to determine the association of blood concentration of cTnI and
pneumonia in stocker cattle. A proof-of-concept study was conducted using 16 calves (7 healthy; 9 BRDC).
