The risk of neonatal calf diarrhoea (NCD)
Why?

A common challenge

  • Approximately 20% of calves will develop NCD¹
  • NCD may be caused by Cryptosporidium parvum, enterotoxic Escherichia coli (ETEC), Salmonella, bovine rotavirus, bovine coronavirus, Eimeria species and inappropriate nutrition
  • Many outbreaks are caused by multiple pathogens, making accurate diagnosis difficult

With devastating results

  • NCD accounts for 40–50% of calf mortalities in the first month
  • NCD affects growth, productivity and long-term,herd performance
  • NCD leads to significant economic losses

The financial burden of Cryptosporidium parvum infection can be up to €140 per infected calf
