[Recent treatment results in feeding-related calf diarrhea with special reference to diet and Diaproof K].
Appearance of diarrhea was studied in 758 calves over a period of 6 years in the "Klinik für Klauentierkrankheiten". The incidence of the disease varied each year between 19% and 48% with a mortality rate up to 3%. Different methods of feeding were chosen and proved. Good results were obtained giving sour colostrum twice in the first day, followed by five days feeding sour milk replacer continued afterwards with sour milk. In this case the diarrhea rate was 22%; in comparison to 41% caused by normal milk products. A shortened duration of unspecific diarrhea in calves (1-2 days) was seen when Diaproof K from Atarost, a dietetic powder, was administered. Diarrhea disease with bad health conditions need a specific treatment.
