Dynamics of wet bedding, Ovine Respiratory Syndrome and parasitic enteritis.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The extreme rainfall of the winter of 2026 saturated the environments surrounding livestock housing. With high humidity outside, the evaporation rate inside the buildings decreased, preventing the manure from drying (animals eliminate 70-80% of the water they consume). This saturated the straw, accelerating its bacterial decomposition. Faced with this water accumulation, the inefficiency of the <\/span><b>ventilation systems<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> aggravated the accumulation of gases and moisture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This degradation of the organic bedding triggers a two-way health conflict:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ammonia release and Bovine Respiratory Syndrome (BRS): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Humidity catalyzes the decomposition of urea, releasing ammonia (NH3). Concentrations above 20-50 ppm irritate the mucous membranes and destroy the bronchial cilia of calves. Without mucociliary clearance, the respiratory system is left unprotected against opportunistic pathogens. In growing and fattening calves, this damage, combined with heat stress from fluctuations upon entering the feedlot, triggers Bovine Respiratory Syndrome (BRS). Viruses and bacteria act synergistically, causing pneumonia and pleuritis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Acceleration of coccidiosis and cryptosporidiosis: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mild winter temperatures and humid beds optimize rapid oocyst sporulation (ideal between 18-27\u00baC).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bovine coccidiosis (<\/b><b><i>Eimeria bovis<\/i><\/b><b> and <\/b><b><i>Eimeria zuernii<\/i><\/b><b>): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It affects calves from 3 weeks to 6 months old.
