During an outbreak of respiratory disease, the most severely affected cattle are seen:

	After turnout to pasture during the following spring
	Towards the end
	Weeks after the first antibiotic treatments
	At the start
	At the peak of disease

Respiratory disease costs UK farmers an estimated:

	£5 million per annum
	£60 milion per annum
	£10 million per annum
	£20 million per annum
	£40 million per annum

Vaccination against IBR

	Costs £2-£3 and is boosted annually
	Costs £2-£3 and is life-long
	Costs £5-£6 and is life-long
	Costs £5-£6 and is boosted annually
	Is not cost effective

In an outbreak of respiratory disease the greatest financial losses result from:

	Extra labour charges handling cattle
	Deaths
	Lost production
	Veterinary fees
	Extra feed

The incidence of respiratory disease is likely to be much increased when:

	Cattle from numerous sources are mixed together at housing
	Cattle of various ages are mixed together at housing
	Cattle are overcrowded at housing
	The buildings are poorly ventilated
	Purchased cattle are not vaccinated

Cattle with significant respiratory disease are detected early and most accurately by:

	Frequent coughing
	Ocular discharge
	Monitoring rectal temperatures
	Noting weight loss
	Purulent nasal discharge

Respiratory disease is likely to be exacerbated by:

	Positive air input system not operating
	Buildings too close together
	Closed ridges at roof apex
	Air inlets only through open doors
	No air inlets below eaves
