title: Rotavirus infection in newborn calves. I. Evaluation trials of certain enzymes in faeces.
abstract: The purpose of this work was to investigate the relationship between rotavirus infection, diagnosed in faeces using the serological test, in calves with diarrhoea and the activity of lysozyme, alpha-amylase, lipase and trypsin in the same material. The faeces were taken from 28 sick and 1 healthy animals, aged from 1 to 5 days, for microbiological and enzymatic examination. No correlation was found between lysozyme activity in faeces and rotavirus infection. Similar results were obtained with the other enzymes.
