Infectious diseases are the main cause of disease and mortality in calves. The knowledge of the diversity of infectious disease-causing agents in NSW dairy cattle is not comprehensive. Thus, the immediate goal of this proposal is to redress this knowledge gap using untargeted microbial genomic sequencing to characterise and identify known and emerging enteric and respiratory pathogens in dairy calves. We will determine the occurrence and distribution of their microbial species across all NSW dairy regions. This will enable the Australian dairy industry to improve animal health and productivity, and diagnostic capacity, which will allow farmers to make informed management decisions about disease control strategies.

传染病是犊牛发病和死亡的主要原因。新南威尔士州奶牛的传染病病原体的多样性的知识是不全面的。因此，该提案的近期目标是利用非靶向微生物基因组测序来弥补这一知识差距，以确定和鉴定奶牛中已知和新出现的肠道和呼吸道病原体。我们将确定其微生物物种在所有新南威尔士州乳制品地区的发生和分布。这将使澳大利亚乳制品行业能够改善动物健康和生产力以及诊断能力，这将使农民能够就疾病控制策略做出明智的管理决策。
