Neonatal Diarrhea

Calf neonatal diarrhea, also known as neonatal calf scours, is a common and potentially serious problem in newborn calves.

It is characterized by the presence of watery or bloody diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and malnutrition. Causes include bacterial infections, viral infections, and dietary issues. Prevention and treatment typically involve vaccination and proper hygiene and management, as well as the use of antibiotics and electrolyte solutions. Early detection and intervention is key to minimizing the risk of complications and ensuring a good outcome for the affected calf.
