Twelve calves about one week old, were usercl in this
study. Milk replacer was given with special bucket. Before inoculating
E. coli strains, the calves were examined clinically and pocket cell volume
(PCV), total leucocyt number, serum urea, Na, K, inorganic P and total
protein were determined in blood samples. All of these blood parameters
were found in normal values.
Each calves was given orally 40 ml. enterötoxigenic (108 - bacterins/
ml.) and 2 ml. invasion (l012bacterins/ml.) E. coli strain for occuring
. experimental colibasillosis. All calves were e~amined clinically and their
blood samples were taken for determining blood parameters at ıst, 121
h,
36 ıı hour of infection. At l21
h hour of infection elinical signs were observ~d.
They were fever, lock of appetite, mild diarrhoea and increased pulse
and respiratory rate. At 361
h hour these elinical findings were became
severe. At the same time PCV, total leucocyt, serum urea levels were
increased and Na level was decreased significantly. However, the total
protein, K and P values were not affected. After the observation of these sing the calves were divided into three groups: The control, Esha
Calvasid Superasid and Cholostral Suplement groups. The calves in
control group were given 150g/l water Esha calvasid 60, the calves in
other treatment group were given 125g/l water Esha calvasid superasid
and the ·third group ·w as fe d -.50 ml. cholostral suplement/1 milk.
Only one. calf in controi·group died and Öther calves in control group
were heated with cholostral suplement. The calves in both tteatment
group were returned to their' normal health
