Acidosis in calves – can I prevent it?
Calf acidosis is not only a frequent complication in diarrhoeal calves and rumen drinkers, but also occurs in actually healthy calves.
Especially in the first weeks of life there is an increased risk of calves suffering from various diseases. The reduced life performance, but also the total loss of a calf through illness, should be prevented right from the start. Read more about your animals immune system here.


Calf acidosis is not only a frequent complication in diarrhoeal calves and rumen drinkers, but also occurs in actually healthy calves.

Most illnesses of calves are so-called 'factor diseases'. This means that several causes are responsible for the outbreak of a disease. Therefore, diarrhea can be the result of diarrheal pathogens, inappropriate feeding, stress or all three.

High calf loss rates are an international problem though this is often not recognised. The rate of calf losses in Germany is approximately 15%. Two thirds of these are caused by diarrhoea.
