Abstract
For more than 80 years, liver abscesses have been documented to reduce beef system value. These infections of liver tissue result in poorer growth performance as evidenced by diminished live and carcass weights, leaner and lesser muscled carcasses, and greater rates of trim. Those negative outcomes are compounded by reduced animal and carcass value. As technology advances, methods to reduce and prevent liver abscesses should be a goal of scientists and producers worldwide.
