The importance of early detection

Early detection of a respiratory disease can lead to better preventive protocols and earlier, more accurate treatments and responses, which could result in improved productivity and reduced costs3

Productivity losses start as disease progresses throughout your farm4

And these losses are greater as time goes by:

  • More animals get infected
  • The disease is more severe
  • Secondary infections appear

How and when is cough detected?

Respiratory diseases are normally detected:

  • When cough is heard in the farm
  • When lung lesions are seen in the slaughterhouse

for illustrative purposes only

What happens if cough is detected earlier?

It is a matter of sensitivity

  • You can react sooner1
  • Treatments are more effective and optimized5
  • You may shorten the disease episode
