Document: In conclusion, this study demonstrates that calves with neonatal calf diarrhea complex experience some of the characteristic behaviors of sickness, including changes in appetite and depressed growth. The results also indicate that calves receiving a single injection of MEL therapy at the onset of diarrhea had improved appetite and performance compared with PLA-treated animals. In particular, treatment with MEL was associated with improved milk consumption during an episode of neonatal calf diarrhea complex, as well increased intake of calf starter ration and water. The greater nutrient intake by MEL-treated calves also supported increased BW gains and a reduction in the time to weaning. Therefore, MEL appears to be an effective supportive therapy for calves with neonatal calf diarrhea complex in terms of calf performance, appetite, and animal welfare.
