| |
− |
| |
− | * Mixed viral enteritis is particularly prevalent in very young calves.
| |
− | * It is predomintantly a management-related disease.
| |
− | * Viruses initiate the disease, but some bacteria are involved.

− | ====Undifferentiated Neonatal Calf Diarrhoea====
| |
− |
| |
− | * A syndrome with many causes.
| |
− |
| |
− | =====Clinical=====
| |
− |
| |
− | * Is seen mostly in calves between 1 and 28 days old.
| |
− | * Known as "white scour".
| |
− | * Has a high morbidity in calves that are doing well and feeding well.
| |
− | * Large amounts of milk coloured [[Intestine Diarrhoea - Pathology|diarrhoea]].
| |
− | ** Tends to cover all over tail and hindquarters.
| |
− | *** Often produces skin sores.
| |
− | * Condition is lost quite quickly, and a high mortality may be caused.
| |
− |
| |
− | =====Pathogenesis=====
| |
− |
| |
− | * Certain conditions predispose calves to undifferentiated neonatal calf [[Intestine Diarrhoea - Pathology|diarrhoea]].
| |
− | ** Stress
| |
− | ** Insufficient colostrum
| |
− | ** Cold milk
| |
− | ** Mixing strange calves together after separating from mother.
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | * A mixture of viruses and bacteria are involved, some more commonly than others.
| |
− | ** Undifferentiated neonatal calf [[Intestine Diarrhoea - Pathology|diarrhoea]] is, however, '''a primarily viral disease'''.
| |
− | ** Some of the agents below are also found also in perfectly normal calves.
| |
− | *** Other viruses not listed are also probably involved.
| |
− | *** The exact cause is not always important, since are cases all treated in the same way.
