Popis:	Cost of preweaning pneumonia was calculated from the treatment cost ($6.02), calf price ($0.83/lb), morbidity rate (5.6 %), case fatality rate (6.0 %), and medium- weight calf loss (20.69 lbs-9.4 kg). Cost per case was $6.02 (treatment), $17.17 (weight loss) and $27.27 (percentage death loss) for a total of $50.46, not including labor. More importantly, this equates to a $2.83 per-calf cost for pneumonia, which can be used to determine the value of a preventive health program.
