Abstract
This is the first Australian study that has identified risk factors for M. bovis sero-positivity and sero-increase and shown an association between sero-increase and the risk of BRD in the feeder cattle population. These findings suggest that M. bovis is a significant pathogen in the Australian feeder cattle population. In addition, identification of defined risk factors associated with an increased risk of exposure to M. bovis can assist in the development of targeted control measures to reduce the economic impact of M. bovis associated disease and BRD in feeder cattle.
