[QUOTE="NADIS News Feed, post: 6827606, member: 143954"] [MEDIA=youtube]xbAXiewA5oY[/MEDIA] Webinar written and presented by Dr Tim Potter BVetMed MRCVS Scours • Calf scour (diarrhoea) is the most common disease in young calves, accounting for about 50% of all calf deaths. • Easily recognised it is important that it is rapidly identified and that affected animals are treated appropriately to ensure survival. • Calves affected by scour are most likely to die from dehydration as a result of the increased fluid loss. • Damage to the gut results in reduced daily liveweight gains. Economic impact [ATTACH type="full"]864330[/ATTACH] Rotavirus and Coronavirus • Common causes of diarrhoea in young dairy calves. • Infection may be acquired in the calving pen then spread between young calves in the calf shed. • Typical early signs include a reluctance to stand and drink, mild depression and salivation. • The calf becomes dehydrated with sunken eyes and tight and inelastic skin; recumbency soon follows. • Vaccines for rota and coronavirus are available for administration to cows prior to calving. • This vaccination helps boost the immunity provided to the calf in the colostrum – therefore good colostrum feeding practices are essential.
