Abstract

Neonatal calf diarrhea syndrome, also known as calf scours or enteritis, is a common condition that affects young calves, particularly those between one and three weeks of age. This syndrome has a multifactorial etiology and has a negative impact on farm economics and welfare. The severity of diarrhea can range from mild to severe, and it can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and even death in severe cases. Early recognition and prompt treatment of diarrhea are essential to minimize the negative impact on calf health and productivity. This study was conducted on a private farm at the request of the owner on a 3-week-old female in October 2022. The clinical examination was requested due to changes in the general condition such as apathy, uncontrollable diarrhea, dehydration, colic syndrome, inappetence, high body temperature. This abstract provides an overview of the causes and management of diarrhea in neonates, including prevention strategies and treatment options. Understanding the appearance of diarrhea in the neonatal period is crucial for healthcare providers and caregivers to ensure the optimal health and well-being of newborns. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
