In fact, parasites also can suppress appetites, limiting intake and absorption of nutrients — ultimately
reducing feed efficiency and gain.1 What's more, cold winter temperatures often aren't enough to clear pastures of parasites — many parasites, like Ostertagia, simply overwinter in cattle or in pastures.
BRD is estimated to cost the beef industry nearly $ 1 billion in economic losses from death,
reduced feed efficiency and increased treatment costs.1, 2 These losses make it worthwhile for producers to be prepared for M. bovis and help keep herds healthy.

In its chronic form, M. hyopneumoniae is a common bacterial pathogen that infects up to 80 percent of swine around the world.1, 2 It
reduces average daily gain and decreases
feed efficiency.

In particular, the high
feed - in tariffs for solar photovoltaics can be up to ten times higher than those provided to wind and even higher than investments in
efficiency, diverting money away from other policies where it would have been better employed to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
