The double-blind, randomized study conducted in association with Cornell involved 40 Holstein bull calves that were affected with naturally occurring diarrhea. The study compared prophylactic use of Neonorm™ Calf against a placebo, administered twice daily. Data regarding fecal dry matter (“FDM”) was used to measure water loss due to secretory diarrhea. Body weight measurements were performed daily to determine average daily weight gain during the 25-day study. Blood and fecal samples were also collected, along with data related to bacterial genus prevalence in the intestinal microbiome.
