Market Dynamics

South America Tulathromycin Market Drivers

High Prevalence of BRD and SRD

BRD is the most common pathology in young and adult animals, affecting 20–25% of calves annually, 10% of which experience growth retardation and up to 6% die. Swine can also have an SRD prevalence rate of around 20%, with a mortality rate of up to 20% and a risk of sequelae in up to 40% of affected animals. Beyond the effects on animal health, BRD and SRD have a significant financial impact on the farmer because of the reduction in animal growth, the expense of diagnosis and treatment, mortality, and the cost of additional work.
