Diarrhea in neonatal and adult cattle is common and can be caused by several etiologic agents. As diagnostic testing is not always readily available, practitioners must often decide on a course of treatment based on knowledge of the likely pathogen and their own clinical experience. Antimicrobials have long been used to treat diarrhea in adults and neonates; however, there is increased pressure to prevent unnecessary use of antibiotics in food animal species. This article reviews existing data on the use of antibiotics given to cattle with enteric diseases to decide when they are necessary and which antimicrobials should be used.
新生牛和成年牛腹泻很常见,可能由多种病原体引起。由于并非总能随时进行诊断检测,从业者往往必须根据对可能病原体的了解和自身临床经验来决定治疗方案。长期以来,抗菌药物一直用于治疗成年牛和新生牛的腹泻;然而,减少食用动物不必要使用抗生素的压力日益增大。本文综述了有关给患肠道疾病的牛使用抗生素的现有数据,以确定何时有必要使用以及应使用哪些抗菌药物。
