Abstract
Neonatal diarrhoea is one of the most important
conditions of calves, associated with morbidity
and mortalities. Diarrhoeal diseases have an
adverse effect on calf health status, survival and
productive performances. Corona virus is one of
the etiological agents responsible for calf
diarrhea worldwide. However there is paucity of
literature stating the disease status in India.
The present study was carried out to determine the
prevalence of corona virus infection among cow
calves in Mathura and adjacent regions. During the
present study 63 diarrhoeic stool samples
collected from cow calves were screened for corona
virus. Of the 63 diarrhoeic samples 3 samples
(4.76%) were found to be positive for corona virus
by ELISA.
