Life Event Supplements for Calves NuLife® ReBOUND™ E. coli, Rota virus, Corona virus and Cryptosporidium are common agents that cause scours in calves. These agents often have an impact on specific days of life for the calf. E. coli usually causes illness within the first 5 days of life. Rota virus and Corona virus cause disease at 10 and 21 days of life. Cryptosporidium usually causes scours at 10 to 21 days.
