Bovine Respiratory Disease Treatment Market Continues To Grow Owing To the Demand from Various Cattle Owners to Protect Their Cattle and Supply High-Quality Meat to Consumers
Bovine respiratory disease treatment is a condition caused
by exposure to contaminated tapeworm segments, which are found in raw or
semi-raw dairy products and meat. Exposure to live or raw eggs can cause an
infection and should be avoided to prevent worsening the situation. Treatment
is relatively simple and consists of identifying infected eggs, removing them
from the body, and then treating the infection through the administration of
antibiotics. This process requires daily applications of a medicated spray and
is effective for mild to moderate cases. More severe cases may require a course
of intravenous antibiotics followed by a vapor rub, which helps to loosen the
congested and hard lumpy mucus that often accompanies the disease. Topical
corticosteroids may also be prescribed in severe cases to relieve symptoms and
reduce the number of fluids in the lungs.
Market
Dynamics
The main driving factor influencing the bovine respiratory disease treatment market is the rapid increase of this disease. The rapid expansion
of the cattle population and changing environmental conditions are estimated to
propel the market growth. According to a report by Beef Cattle Research
Council, Bovine respiratory diseases result in 65-80% of morbidity and 45-75%
of mortality rates in the cattle yards in the U.S. Moreover, rising awareness
among the consumers related to healthy meat consumption, new environmental
protection rules, and animal health monitoring practices are expected to boost
the growth of the bovine respiratory disease treatment market.
However, the absence of awareness related to meat
consumption in developing nations is the main restraining factor hindering
market growth. Few complications are related to Bovine respiratory disease
treatment. Animals that are suffering from bovine respiratory diseases
sometimes show signs of weight loss, depression, mucopurulent or purulent nasal
discharge, cough, and increased body temperature. The diagnosis after
identifying these physical symptoms is tough owing to the similarities of the
symptoms to other bacteria-caused diseases. Hence this factor is estimated to
hinder the market growth.
This market is distributed in five regions that include
North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa, and Latin
America. Among these North America is estimated to hold a significant share of
the bovine respiratory disease treatment market owing to the number of factors
such as clusters of a bovine animal, increase in bovine respiratory diseases,
and extensive expenditure on bovine health awareness. In the U.S. heavy amount
of meat is consumed which comprises mainly of poultry and beef, and this factor
is expected to drive the Bovine respiratory disease treatment market in the
region. For instance, according to the North American Meat Institute, in 2019,
the U.S. total consumption of beef amounted to approximately US$ 27.3 billion.
The Asia Pacific is estimated to witness significant growth in the Bovine
respiratory disease treatment market owing to the presence of a large number of
animals and increasing awareness related to animal welfare in the region.
Competitive Analysis
Key players in the bovine respiratory disease treatment
market include Bimeda Animal Health, Vetoquinol, Elanco, Boehringer Ingelheim
GmbH, Virbac Group, Merck & Co., Inc., Bayer AG, and Zoetis Inc.
In September 2018, Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH introduced
Bovalto Respi Intranasal, which is a new respiratory vaccine used in the
treatment against viruses such as Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BSRV) and
Parainfluenza 3 Virus in cattle. Likewise, in April 2018, VIDO - InterVac
announced about developing a new vaccine that can protect cattle in Africa from
bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP).
