How are animals protected from bovine rotavirus? aRe they protected from disease or infection?

True or False: Circulating Ab absorbed systemically from the colostrum in the newborn does not prevent infection and disease.
Definition
-TRUE, it is the neutralizing IgA in the intestinal lumen that inactivates and prevents disease (LACTOGNEIC IMMUNITY)but cow's milk contains very little IgA so calves are susceptible as soon as the colostrum is gone
Term
In what weather is bovine rotavirus more likely to survive?
Definition

Term
What can result in more severe bovine rotavirus disease?
Definition
-any condition that will cause inc virus excretion, inc viral survival rate, and inc uptake of virus

How does the presenc of other enteropathogens affect bovine rotavirus disease?
Definition
-diarrhea is invariably exacerbated by multiple mixed pathogen infection
