Roundtable: Emerging E. coli in the nursery – why are we seeing this?

E. coli has been an issue in several nurseries across the United States. Scours, death loss, and poor gain have all been issues that producers with affected herds have had to deal with. In todayโ€™s roundtable talk, Dr. Dean Boyd, Dr. Ken Mooney, and Dr. Kathryn Price, all discuss different methods for identifying the source of infection as well as potential nutritional solutions to help ameliorate the negative effects caused by E. coli infection in nursery barns.
