For a period of time, routine blood cultures were performed on all diarrheic calves presented to the Atlantic Veterinary College Teaching Hospital regardless of whether the clinical or clinicopathologic findings indicated a diagnosis of septicemia. The prevalence of septicemia in this study was identical to that reported for calves with diarrhea, depression, and/or weakness on a veal raising facility, 14 which suggests that the predictive values of the models developed herein may be relevant to other calf populations. ./cache/cord-266424-wchxkdtj.txt ./txt/cord-266424-wchxkdtj.txt
