Special Instructions
The Bovine Calf Diarrhea Panel screens for common pathogens causing diarrhea in calves 1 week of age or younger. Pathogens include the major bacterial pathogens, enterotoxigenic E. coli and Salmonella sp., viral pathogens including rotavirus and coronavirus and the parasite, Cryptosporidium.
If clostridial disease is suspected, suggested by severe hemorrhagic diarrhea, we recommend the addition of Clostridium perfringens culture and Clostridium perfringens toxin genotyping PCR.
If clostridial disease is suspected, suggested by severe hemorrhagic diarrhea, we recommend the addition of Clostridium perfringens culture and Clostridium perfringens toxin genotyping PCR.
As underlying factors predispose to the development of diarrhea in calves, screening for BVD using the Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) PCR and assessing the Trace Elements and Selenium status may be helpful.
