Causes and Prevention of Scours in Beef Calves
Scours, or diarrhea, is a significant health challenge for young calves. Here’s a brief overview of the main causes, symptoms, and preventive measures:
1. Clostridia-Enterotoxemia
- Cause: Clostridium perfringens, a hardy bacteria that can lie dormant in soil, feed, or intestines, triggers infection via spores.
- Symptoms: Bloody, bubbly diarrhea; dehydration; bloat; blindness.
- Prevention: Strong vaccination program and gut health support. Farmatan helps strengthen the intestinal wall.
2. Coccidiosis
- Cause: Protozoal parasites, thriving in warm, moist areas, affect calves, especially those 3-6 weeks old.
- Symptoms: Watery, sometimes bloody diarrhea; depression; weight loss.
- Prevention: Dry, clean pens and separation from older cattle. Farmatan disrupts the parasite’s cycle.
3. Coronavirus
- Cause: Virus spread through nasal discharge or feces, impacting calves 10-14 days old.
- Symptoms: Watery diarrhea, nasal discharge, coughing.
- Prevention: Isolate infected calves and keep wild animals away. Colostrum and Farmatan help boost immunity.
4. Cryptosporidium
- Cause: Single-celled parasite, often transmitted by contaminated water or cow-to-calf.
- Symptoms: Watery, bloody diarrhea; colic; depression.
- Prevention: Clean water and isolation of sick calves. Feeding Farmatan before calving can reduce transmission.
5. E. Coli
- Cause: Bacterial infection in the lower intestine, affecting calves in their first week.
- Symptoms: Yellow diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever.
- Prevention: Clean bedding, isolation, and vaccination. Farmatan helps reduce bacterial load.
6. Rotavirus
- Cause: Viral infection common in the first week of life.
- Symptoms: Pale yellow or bloody diarrhea; dehydration; reluctance to drink.
- Prevention: Sanitary calving areas and colostrum. Farmatan can decrease infection rates.
Key Takeaway: Preventing scours involves clean facilities, isolation, and strong gut health. Adding Farmatan can support calf health by reducing pathogen impact.
