Gastrointestinal diseases of calves, as usually, are polyetiological in nature and caused by various infectious agents: viruses, bacteria, chlamydia, mycoplasmas, fungi, protozoa and others.

Experiments were carried out on 50 animals. The results obtained confirmed that high-quality colostrum increases the resistance of calves to diseases.
