Abstract: A system and method are provided for screening and treating respiratory diseased animals such as livestock. Health measurements are taken of incoming animals to a location such as a feed yard. The measurements are used as inputs to an algorithm. Processing of the algorithm results in a prediction whether the animal is likely to become sick. A treatment decision is automatically generated by processing of the algorithm for display to a user. A “treat” decision may trigger a predetermined treatment protocol for the particular evaluated animal, while a “don't treat” decision allows the animal to be released.
