Table 3. Detection frequency of pathogens causing calf diarrhea from non-diarrheic and diarrheic feces of Korean native calves in Korea and association between a positive detection and calf diarrhea
Pathogens | Positive in overall samples | Positive in non-diarrheic calves | Positive in diarrheic calves | p-value | Odds ratio |
