Necrotising enteritis, a novel disease in young Scottish calves, was investigated. The exact cause remains unidentified, distinguishing it from mucosal disease.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Pathology
  • Animal Health
  • Disease Etiology

Background:

  • Necrotising enteritis is a newly identified disease in suckled calves (2-3 months old) in Scotland.
  • The condition presents with dysentery and requires investigation to determine its cause and characteristics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical, pathological, and microbiological features of necrotising enteritis in suckled calves.
  • To differentiate necrotising enteritis from other calf diseases, particularly mucosal disease.

Main Methods:

  • Monitoring a cohort of 10 calves from birth.
  • Investigating reported cases of dysentery in suckled calves.
  • Performing clinical pathology, gross and histological examinations, and microbiological investigations.

Main Results:

  • One case of necrotising enteritis occurred in the monitored cohort.
  • Five additional outbreaks were identified through veterinary service reports.
  • No specific etiological agent was identified.
  • Histological findings were distinct from mucosal disease, and bovine viral diarrhoea virus antigen was not detected.

Conclusions:

  • Necrotising enteritis is a distinct disease entity in young calves.
  • The etiology of necrotising enteritis is currently unknown.
  • Further research is needed to identify the causative agent and develop targeted interventions.
