[Skiabaryum Spofa in the prevention and treatment of diarrhea in newborn calves].
In 11 herds, to 209 calves a preventive preparation, Skiabaryum-Spofa, was applied in a dose of medium heaped soup spoon once a day for six days. Compared with the control group of 202 calves, morbidity in the experimental group was lower by 20.7 p. c. The difference was statistically conclusive (P = 0.01). In the case of therapeutic application, the same preparation in a dose of two medium heaped soup spoons twice a day cured 95.2 p. c. of the 209 calves on the average within 3.2 days. Mortality of the number of examined calves amounted to 1.5 p.c. Prevention by means of the Skiabaryum-Spofa preparation was more economic compared with the control group without any prevention.
