The use of infrared thermography as an early indicator of bovine respiratory disease complex in calves 2007-12-31 .txt text/plain 4610 232 49 Data indicated that 4–6 days prior to the onset of clinical symptoms of BRD, greater positive and negative predictive values and test efficiency for infrared thermography (80%, 65% and 71%, respectively) compared to the industry standard practice of clinical scoring (70%, 45% and 55%, respectively). In the current study, the criteria for a gold standard for true positive disease was defined as any animal displaying two or more of the following symptoms: A core temperature of 40°C or higher, a white blood cell count of less than 7 or greater than 11 · 1000 lL À1 , a clinical score of 3 or higher and a neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio of less than 0.1 or greater than 0.8. Data collected in the present study demonstrated that infrared thermography scans of the orbital area in calves was efficacious as an early identifier of bovine respiratory disease onset. ./cache/cord-254264-jkug3jpz.txt ./txt/cord-254264-jkug3jpz.txt
