CD = group was colostrum deprived and received milk replacer only. ABS = group was colostrum deprived and received milk replacer mixed with antirotavirus antibody for the first feeding. COL = group received colostrum replacer mixed with antirotavirus, anti–Escherichia coli K99, and anticoronavirus antibodies for first feeding.
