Abstract | ||||
Neonatal calf diarrhea remains one of the most important problems in young calves causing great economic losses. In the current study, a total number of 150 fecal samples collected from diarrheic and in-contact cattle and buffalo calves under 3 months old were examined bacteriologically for isolation of E-coil. All isolates were confirmed by PCR using 16SrRNA gene and screened for their pathogenicity using Congo red assay | ||||
