Abstract:

To study the correlations of clinical signs with serum electrolytes and trace elements, 50 diarrheic dairy calves in a dairy herd were examined. The diarrheic calves, before any treatment, were clinically examined, and fecal consistency score, age, and days between disease onset and sampling were recorded per calf. The serum concentrations of calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, manganese and iron were measured. Serum copper concentration had a significant correlation with PCV (r=-0.56, P
