There no significant differences among groups regarding clinical cure rates based temperatures declining below 82.9, 84.8, 84.6% 1, 2, 3, respectively. Reproductive performance did not differ significantly between any measures tested. A financial analysis 87 different cost scenarios demonstrated that cattle is effective alternative combination local treatments.
