Abstract:
The present investigation was planned with a view to systematically record the prevalence of diarrhoea in total 200 pre-weaned (up to 12 weeks post-partum) buffalo calves, age-wise and sex-wise in some representative dairy units in and around Jabalpur city, which has emerged as an important milk pocket in central India in recent years. The highest prevalence of diarrhoea, i.e. 40 out of 68 calves (40.40%) was recorded in the calves of 0-15 days post-partum, followed by 29.29% between 16-30 (29 out of 50). Diarrhoea was recorded in male calves (58.3%) and in female calves (45.7%), statistically not significant.
