Short communication: Effect of pomegranate-residue supplement on Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst shedding in neonatal calves

Abstract: Cryptosporidium parvum is considered one of the most common enteropathogens, responsible for the high incidence of diarrhea and deleterious implications on immunity and health in neonatal calves. The pomegranate is well known for its health-promoting properties. Two experiments were designed to test the antiparasitical and antidiarrheal effects of concentrated pomegranate extract (CPE) supplement in milk in neonatal Holstein calves. Forty-one calves were randomly divided into control (n=20) and treatment (n=21… Show more

“…The pathogen that was most isolated in our population of diarrheic calves was Cryptosporidium parvum, in line with those reported in the literature [1,2,11]. The mean age of diarrhea onset for all calves included was also in line with literature data [1,2].…”

“…However, results of a recent experiment with calves, which were under 15-day old, are promising: supplementation of milk with concentrated pomegranate extract may, depending on the concentration, reduce faecal oocyst count and diarrhoea intensity and duration because of Cryptosporidium parvum infection (Weyl-Feinstein et al, 2014) [it should be noted, however, that pomegranate contains mostly ellagitannins -and not CTs].…”
