The causative agents of neonatal diarrhea in calves cause great losses in cattle herds. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of pathogens related to bovine neonatal diarrhea in calves from cattle ranches in the Centre and south of the state of Veracruz. A convenience study was conducted in six municipalities of the state of Veracruz. Direct faecal samples were taken from the rectum, identified, and refrigerated until processing. A survey per animal was also applied. The study variables in the calves were: age, sex and diarrhea. The Rainbow Calf Scours" kit was used. Data from the surveys were analysed with descriptive statistics using STATA ver 14.0, frequency was determined and an X2 was performed. Of the 100 calves sampled, 16% were positive for the presence of a bovine neonatal diarrhea (BND) pathogen. The ranches located in Sayula de Alemán had the highest number of positive animals with 42.8%. According to sex, the highest frequency was in females with 19.4%. Regarding the age of the animals, the frequency was 16% for all animals. However, 15.1% of the animals that did not have diarrhoea were positive for a pathogen. Of all samples collected, 2 (2%), 5 (5%), 3 (3%) and 10 (10%) were found to be positive for Cryptosporidium spp, E. coli, Coronavirus and Rotavirus respectively. The presence of pathogens causing BND (Rotavirus, Coronavirus, Escherichia coli and Cryptosporidium spp) was demonstrated in calves from cattle ranches in central and southern Veracruz state.
