Abstract

The bovine respiratory complex (CRB), also known as the transport fever, is of great economic importance to the livestock industry around the world. The control of the disease is complicated because this disease has a multifactorial character. Different combinations of factors such as the association of pathogenic microorganisms, stressful environmental conditions and immunologically susceptible animals can lead to disease and perpetuate it in the herd.
