Comparison of sampling methods and diagnostic techniques for recovery of Mannheimia haemolytica from feedlot cattle

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD), an economically impactful disease of feedlot cattle, is caused by interactions between host and environmental factors and pathogens. The current standard for antemortem pathogen identification is guarded deep nasopharyngeal swabbing, which is technically challenging, costly, and waste generating. The objective was to compare recovery rates of Mannheimia haemolytica (MH) by culture and real time-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) using guarded deep nasopharyngeal swabs (DNPS), 16 in. proctology swabs (PS) and 6 in. nasal swabs (NS).
