[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1446314, member: 12607"] I have no doubt that plane of nutrition - especially mineral/micronutrient nutrition - and lack of stress play a role in both incidence and severity. Forage management (pasture clipping... which I do not do) also probably plays a role to some degree. As far back as the 1980s, researchers were looking at genetic markers that seemed to be linked to increased resistance to one disease condition or another... I remember way back then, someone at TAMU was looking at genes that seemed to code for resistance to infection with brucellosis. In recent years, some attention has been paid to identifying animals that carry resistance to developing bovine respiratory disease... but I don't know where they are, at present, with regard to identifying any specific gene markers associated with that... but suspect that it's coming at some point.
