AB  - The aim of this study is to identify economic losses resulting from respiratory diseases in cattle husbandry. The material for the study consisted of surveys conducted with a total of 45 cattle operations in the provinces of Kars and Ardahan which have substantial potential for animal husbandry in Turkey. These operations involved a total of 1198 head of cattle of which 254 had symptoms of respiratory illness. As a result, the prevalence of respiratory illness in the region was determined to be 21.20 and 55.60% of the respiratory illnesses were observed in the spring. In 44.40% of the operations that participated in the survey, animals were kept in drafty conditions and sick animals were kept together with healthy animals in 75.60% of the cases. In discussions with producers it was determined that the average economic loss per animal was $581.48 due to loss of milk production, reduced live weight and the expenses of early removal from the herd due to respiratory illness and treatment expenses varied between $6.26 and 15.96 depending on the animal group.
