You can take preventive steps to protect calves from bovine respiratory disease (BRD), long before you ever reach for antibiotics.

According to an analysis published in the journal Science, antibiotic resistance among bacteria affecting food animals has nearly tripled over the past 20 years.

Dehorning is a common and necessary practice in dairy production, but it’s not a procedure that should be taken lightly in terms of animal well-being.
