Study evaluates microbiome changes in calves with diarrhea, highlighting pathogenic and opportunistic species.

Diarrhea significantly alters the intestinal microbiome, elevating the total microbial mass in calves.
In calves with diarrhea, the normoflora contribution to microbial DNA drops from 78.3% to 49.1% compared to healthy calves.
Opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms show an increase to 50.9% in calves suffering from diarrhea.
Alterations in the microbiota may stem from digestive system dysfunction, suggesting the need for corrective measures to prevent gastrointestinal diseases.

Николаев et al. (2025) studied this question.
