TI  - Etiological and Predisposing Factors in Calves with Neonatal Diarrhea: A
Clinical Study in 270 Case Series
AB  - Th is study was carried out to find out the etiology and predisposing factors of calves having diarrhea from Kayseri province
and its neighboring cities between January 2016 and September 2019. A total of 270 neonatal diarrheic calves were included to this
study. Comprehensive information was obtained by face-to-face interviews with the animal owners about administrative practices such
as the vaccination status of the dams, farm type, colostrum intake status. Th e etiological agents were determined using the lateral fl ow
immunochromatographic test kits. As a result of this investigation, out of 270 diarrheic cases; 21.9% (59) Cryptosporidium spp., 15.6%
(42) E. coli K99+, 14.1% (38) bovine coronavirus (BCoV), 10.4% (28) bovine rotavirus (BRV), 9.3% (25) Cryptosporidium spp.+BRV,
8.5% (23) BRV+BCoV were found. Interms of shelter type; 85.2% (230) were traditional and 14.8% (40) were modern type. Regarding
the colostrum intake situation; 7.4% (20) received no colostrum, 11.1% (30) received insufficient colostrum and 81.5% (220) received
colostrum adequately and on time. Additionally, 36.7% (99) calf mothers were vaccinated and 63.3% (171) were unvaccinated. Compared
to those born in autumn, calves born in winter; 6.5-fold, in the spring season; 3.6-fold and in summer; 5.2-fold more likely to develop
diarrhea caused by E. coli K99+. Th ese findings may generate valuable information not only for the clinicians and researchers but also
animal health experts, policy makers, farmer etc.
