nutritional diarrhea in calf
الإسهال الغذّائي في العجلِ
Introduction
Calf diarrhea is the single most important cause of death in
milk-fed calves. Even when calves survive, the increased
labor requirements for their caring, together with veterinary
and drug bills, make scours a costly problem for calf rearers.
Furthermore, their potential productivity is likely to be
decreased by setbacks in early life.
The causes of scours, particularly in calves under three weeks
of age, are complex. There is usually no one single cause,
with contributing factors being calf management, diet, the
environment and the presence of pathogens. Prevention and
early treatment with fluid replacement (electrolyte therapy)
can avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics.
