It was reported recently that 4-week feeding of neonatal Cryptosporidium-infected calves with Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation products resulted in significantly less fragmented and atrophied villi of the lower small intestines in comparison to untreated controls, suggesting a preventive effect of these products against the infection (Vázquez Flores et al., 2016) . Almost all study calves, regardless of the treatment group, shed Cryptosporidium oocysts (98.4%) and were positive for coproantigen (99.2%) at least once during their first 3 weeks of life (Table 1 ). It was, therefore, not surprising that the serum total protein concentration was not correlated with the intensity of Cryptosporidium infection (measured by AUC values of oocyst shedding or coproantigen scores) or the number of days with diarrhea in this study.	./cache/cord-289186-reyx10zo.txt	./txt/cord-289186-reyx10zo.txt
