Reliable prognosis and rational treatments are needed to reduce the economic loss of the Pneumonia in beef cattle industries. This study was conducted with the assumption that blood L-lactate concentration could be an important marker in assessing the prognosis and physiopathological status of respiratory diseases (literature supported). In this context, the L-lactate levels of 22 calves with pneumonia (under field conditions and without etiology) were evaluated. It was observed that 4 patients with L-lactate levels above 4 mmol / L did not respond to treatment and those with a L-lactate below 4 mmol / L remained clinically resolved.
