The objectives of this experiment were to compare CTC and OTC, administered according to label, for the treatment of BRD in Holstein calves and to characterize the influence of tulathromycin metaphylaxis in combination with tetracycline treatment. Summer-placed Holstein steer calves (n = 6,800) were randomly assigned to one of four treatments (11 blocks; initial BW = 140 \u00b1 18 kg) as they passed through the squeeze chute at initial processing in a commercial feedlot. Treatments consisted of: (i) CTC and tulathromycin metaphylaxis (CTC+TUL), (ii) OTC and tulathromycin metaphylaxis (OTC+TUL), (iii) tulathromycin metaphylaxis only (TUL), or (iv) CTC only (CTC). Cattle were fed for an average of 118 d. Tetracycline feeding was instituted based on visual assessment of the attending veterinarian in accordance with the veterinary feed directive. When applicable, CTC was fed as a top-dress at a rate of 4 g CTC\u00b7steer\u22121\u00b7d\u22121 for 5 consecutive days, beginning on 6 d on feed (DOF). Three 5-d pulses were delivered to CTC+TUL and CTC cattle, with a 48-h time lapse between pulses. Cattle on OTC+TUL were administered 4 g OTC\u00b7steer\u22121\u00b7d\u22121 as part of a complete diet for 14 consecutive days beginning on 10 DOF. Within the first 30 d of the feeding period, BRD first pulls were reduced (P = 0.001) for CTC+TUL, OTC+TUL, and TUL relative to CTC alone. Percentage of BRD first pulls and total morbidity were lowest (P = 0.001) for CTC+TUL across the feeding period, with OTC+TUL and TUL being intermediate, and CTC alone exhibiting the highest percentage. Death loss and railers were not influenced (P \u2265 0.58) by treatment. Dry matter intake was greater (P = 0.001) for CTC+TUL than all other treatments. Final BW and ADG were greatest for CTC+TUL, lowest for TUL alone, and intermediate for the remaining treatments (P &amp;lt; 0.05) on a deads-and-railers-out basis. Deads-and-railers-in ADG was greatest (P &amp;lt; 0.05) for CTC+TUL compared to all other treatments. Feed conversion was not influenced (P \u2265 0.22) by treatment. In the current study, supplementation of OTC in combination with tulathromycin metaphylaxis did not benefit health over tulathromycin alone. Results suggest that CTC in combination with tulathromycin metaphylaxis reduces morbidity in Holstein steers calves, which may lead to improved performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/tas\/txy135","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,8]],"date-time":"2018-12-08T04:44:11Z","timestamp":1544244251000},"page":"185-194","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Influence of therapeutic use of feedgrade tetracyclines in combination with tulathromycin metaphylaxis on animal health and performance of Holstein steer calves1"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Josh I","family":"Szasz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Five Rivers Cattle Feeding, Greeley, CO"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Casey P","family":"McMurphy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Five Rivers Cattle Feeding, Greeley, CO"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tony C","family":"Bryant","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Five Rivers Cattle Feeding, Greeley, CO"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Job","family":"Luque","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Five Rivers Cattle Feeding, Greeley, CO"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cristobal","family":"Barcelo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Five Rivers Cattle Feeding, Greeley, CO"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gabriel","family":"Sepulveda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Five Rivers Cattle Feeding, Greeley, CO"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K Shawn","family":"Blood","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Zoetis, Parsippany, NJ"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bryan C","family":"Bernhard","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Zoetis, Parsippany, NJ"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heather D","family":"Hughes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Zoetis, Parsippany, NJ"},{"name":"SciWrite Consulting, LLC, Canyon, TX"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"2020051902290771700_CIT0001","first-page":"626","article-title":"A mixed treatment comparison meta-analysis of metaphylaxis treatments for bovine respiratory disease in beef cattle","volume":"95","author":"Abell","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
