Partitioning of upper airway resistance in Friesian and double-muscled calves.

[en] Respiratory resistance in calves was partitioned in two components: upper airway resistance and pulmonary resistance. The former one was divided into naso-pharyngeal and laryngeal resistance. A comparison between seven healthy unsedated double-muscled calves of the Belgian White and Blue breed (BWB) and five healthy unsedated Friesian (F) calves was performed. Respiratory resistance was significantly greater in the BWB calves, due to the significantly higher values of the naso-pharyngeal and the laryngeal resistances. This finding might be related to the higher prevalence of laryngitis in this breed
