Availability of Data... 10 References Bovine congestive heart failure (BCHF) observed in feedlot cattle is responsible for significant and increasing economic loss to the feedlot industry, with the largest losses occurring during the latter part of the finishing period (Neary et al., 2015a; Johnson et al., 2021). This condition has been characterized in a variety of studies and is commonly referred to as congestive heart failure, right-sided heart failure, cor pulmonale, or noninfectious heart disease.
