Tiago Tomazi, a ruminant technical services specialist with Merck Animal Health, will share why early bovine respiratory disease (BRD) diagnosis and timely treatment with effective therapeutics are critical to reduce morbidity and mortality, and lung lesions. Plus, he will address how to control BRD transmission and avoid chronic illness. Tomazi says that when it comes to BRD, it’s typically a matter of “when” – and not “if” – it will occur. Even dairy operations with the best management practices can still experience cases of BRD.
A veterinarian from Brazil, Tomazi completed his master’s and PhD studies at the University of São Paulo. His graduate work focused on animal nutrition and animal health. Part of his PhD program was conducted at Quality Milk Production Services at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. After graduation, Tomazi served as research assistant at the University of São Paulo, and later as a postdoctoral associate in the department of population medicine and diagnostic sciences at Cornell University. During most of his career, he has worked on preventing and controlling infectious diseases in dairy cattle.
