Abstract

This study was conducted throughout the year on 93 calves from different regions of Baghdad province.
Three age groups included; Below 1 month, 1-2 months and above 6 months. A changed aim-the technique
of stain Neelsen (MZN) has been used for the identification of the development of cryptosporidium and fecal
diarrheic samples.
In biochemical research, blood samples have been obtained. Cryptosporidium occurrence was much higher
in spring season (56%), followed by the winter (52%), the allergy season (46%), and lowermost in a season
of summer (40%).The highest rate of infection in animals which was given was the age group of the
animals that under the age of 30 days (71%), 2-6 months were (59%) and (43%) were over 6 months old.
The animals concerned reported substantial rises in plasma, urea and creatinine relative to stable animals
in the management of biochemical changes. Finally, Age and seasonal changes were associated with
cryptosporidiosis. The biochemical factors affected by the calves also have a negative effect.
