One of the main conditions for increasing the productivity of animal husbandry is the protection of newborn calves from early death. The leading place among these diseases belongs to infectious diseases with the diarrhea syndrome in newborns. Gastrointestinal diseases of calves, as usually, are polyetiological in nature and caused by various infectious agents: viruses, bacteria, chlamydia, mycoplasmas, fungi, protozoa and others.
