The disease, also known as calf scour, is caused by E. coli bacteria and can lead to significant losses in livestock production. Dr. Felipe Pivoto, a veterinarian and manager of technical services for bovines and horses at Vetoquinol Animal Health, explains that Colibacilosis is linked to diarrhea in newborn calves, although diarrhea is a multifactorial disease. The name Colibacilosis became popular due to the belief that diarrhea in newborn calves was caused by a single agent. The primary mode of transmission is fecal-oral, and the prevalence of the disease is related to factors such as hygiene and animal density. The disease affects both dairy and beef cattle, with the highest incidence in the first few days of life. Up to 34% of a herd can be affected, leading to significant losses, including reduced weight gain, compromised development, and even death due to severe dehydration. Proper treatment involves using antibiotics effective against the infectious agent.
