Cattle in the Rocky Mountain West are more susceptible to a high altitude disease, and researchers at the University of Wyoming are developing a program to test cattle for the disease and then sell them to regional producers at a private treaty sale. WebHigh mountain or brisket disease is an economically costly disease of cattle raised at elevations greater than 1500 m (5000 ft). It appears that no one breed is resistant to the effects of high-altitude hypoxia. Some breeds, and pedigrees within breeds, appear to be more naturally resistant to the effects of high altitude.

WebThe results indicated that susceptibility to pulmonary hypertension at high altitude was inherited and susceptible cattle may provide a useful model of human hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. This study examines the hypothesis that susceptibility of cattle to high-altitude pulmonary hypertension and heart failure (high mountain disease) is genetically … WebAbstract. Six months residence at an altitude of 10,000 feet produced significant pulmonary hypertension and arterial oxygen desaturation (86 per cent) in 10 normal steers born at 3,600 feet. Six of these animals, during the course of the experiment, showed a rise in mean pulmonary arterial pressure from 27 to 45 mm. Hg. simplicity 8376

WebHigh-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH) is a consequence of chronic alveolar hypoxia, leading to hypoxic vasoconstriction and remodeling of the pulmonary circulation. … Webhigh altitude. 8. Studies suggest the pulmonary pressor response to be moderately heritable. 25. This means that man-agers of high-altitude herds that select sires with low pulmo - nary arterial pressures, typically <45 mmHg, 11. should be able to reduce the incidence of high-altitude disease within their herds. 22.
