Professor Tim Mahony, who has been leading the research, said one of the challenges faced in developing the vaccine has been the need for something that works relatively quickly. Now their prototype vaccine is set to be transferred to a commercial partner for further development with the hopes of helping to curb BRD's up to $100 million a year impact on lotfeeders. Researchers from the University of Queensland's Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation have been working on the vaccine over the last 20 years. Clinical signs of BRD include a mild nasal discharge, as shown in this trial animal.Ī new vaccine to help crack down on rates of bovine respiratory disease in feedlots may only be a couple of years away.
