Two trials using two different commercially available microbial culture products containing Lactobacillus acidophilus and other related organisms, were conducted to determine their effect on grain intake, weight gain, and diarrheal disease morbidity and mortality in milk fed dairy calves. There were no significant differences at the 0.05 level between the treatment or control groups for any of the parameters examined in either trial.
