Model to Predict Septicemia in Diarrheic Calves

Abstract: The difficulty in distinguishing between septicemic and nonsepticemic diarrheic calves prompted a study of variables to predict septicemia in diarrheic calves <28 days old that were presented to a referral institution. The prevalence of septicemia in the study population was 31%. Variables whose values were significantly different (P < .10) between septicemic and nonsepticemic diarrheic calves were selected using stepwise, forward, and backward logistic regression. Variables identified as potentially useful pr… Show more

“…Diarrhoea due to the enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is one of the most frequent bacterial diseases in neonatal calves and the predominant pathogen cultured from calves with septicaemia (Lofstedt et al, 1999). E coli was the bacterial agent cultured with the highest frequency from diarrhoeic and healthy calves in our study, a finding that agrees with results of Bendali et al (1999a) and Garcia et al (2000).…”

“…Clinical disease due to E. coli in calves may be present as enteric or septicemic illness, being one of the most important causes of neonatal mortality in dairy calves. (Lofstedt et al, 1999). Some strains develop traits can be harmful to a host animal.…”

“…The mortality risk of live-born neonatal calves <1 month of age has been reported to range from 15% to 30% on farms with serious management problems (Martin et al, 1975;Lofstet et al, 1999). The majority of deaths are attributable to infectious disease: diarrhoea, pneumonia, and septicaemia are the most common disorders.…”
