Comparative efficacy of tilmicosin, florfenicol, and fiorfenicol-flunixin meglumine for treatment of undifferentiated fever in backgrounded winter-placed feedlot calves given tilmicosin metaphylactically on arrival
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A study was conducted in 3 feedlots to compare the clinical efficacy of tilmicosin to florfenicol and florfenicol-nunixin meglumine for the initial treatment of undifferentiated fever (UF) in backgrounded winter-placed feedlot calves treated metaphylactically with tilmicosin at arrival processing. No significant differences (P>0.05) were found in UF relapse rates, crude case fatality rates, bovine respiratory disease and histophilus fatality rates, or average daily gain between the 3 groups. The cost benefit of tilmicosin versus florfenicol and florfenicol-flunixin meglumine was based on the difference in treatment cost between the 3 drugs. Using current market prices and a treatment weight of 828 lb (376 kg), the cost of treatment with tilmicosin was $15.85 CAN less per head compared to treatment with florfenicol, and $15.90 CAN per head less than florfenicol-flunixin meglumine.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
