==Introduction==
==Description==
A pneumonic disease which is caused by a range of infectious agents in combination with management and environmental stress causing damage to the respiratory tract predisposing to disease.
A pneumonic disease which is caused by a range of infectious agents in combination with management and environmental stress causing damage to the respiratory tract predisposing to disease.
It is principally of viral origin and the following viruses have been implemented in disease. [[Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus|Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV)]], [[Bovine Parainfluenza - 3|Parainfluenza- 3 (PI3)]], [[Bovine Viral Diarrhoea Virus|Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV)]], [[Bovine Adenovirus|Adenoviruses]], [[Bovine Enteric Coronavirus|Calf coronavirus]] and [[Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis|Bovine herpes viruses]].
