Calf diarrhea diagnostics

Abstract

The decision to submit calf diarrhea samples to a veterinary diagnostic lab can often be challenging. Balancing the value of the information with the ability to promote positive manage­ment changes is the conundrum the veterinarian often finds themself in. It is important for veterinarians to understand the available tests, interpret results properly, and convey those re­sults in a manner that promotes improvements in calf health.
