Spanish term or phrase: cerrito

Hi everyone,

I'm translating some research on neonatal calf nutrition and disease prevention measures.

The term I can't pinpoint is "cerrito". It is written in a chart as "diarrea (cerrito)".

Later it is used in a footnote... "Se refiere cerrito que provine de otro establo". There is no other reference in the text.

Any searches turn up non-contextual items.

Thanks,

Shenice

Hi everyone,

The client ask me to leave cerrito as is... So, I put ... "Cerrito" refers to calves coming from other barns. They did not give any other explanation

http://www.fao.org/3/as497s/as497s.pdf Dice alli ; La diarrea es blanca y con ///coágulos de leche/// sin digerir. Si se toman medidas a tiempo esta diarrea
por lo general no tiende a complicarse y el animalito
se recupera solo.

Cerritos ? de Cerote, Serote, palabra de insultar, vease a https://educalingo.com/es/dic-es/cerote

Dice alli ; Cerote es también excremento sólido.

Pues en los becerros, diarea a veces contiene trozos tamanho de frijole juntos con agua

I found the reference for 'Ganado vacuno' in the 26-volume Diccionario Enciclopédico Salvat I bought in 1984, but I'm surprised that I can't find anything on the Internet.

That seems to be a place, too.

I was called away but I had come to exactly the same conclusion as Marie. The dictionary entry is as follows:

CERRITOS. Mun. del N. de México, estado de San Luis Potosí; 19.865 hab. en 1970 (10.421 la cab.). Maíz, lechuguilla. Ganado vacuno

I agree with Helena that this is a calf, though I think "cerritos" in her refs is a district in Pereira, Colombia. This could be a typo or variation of "becerrito", so I presume it is just a young male calf.

According to my 37-year-old paper encyclopaedia, 'cerritos' is 'ganado vacuno', though I can't find any references online. Only some videos of a 'subasta de cerritos'.

They're definitely calves but I can't find out whether the term refers to a type of calf or it's a synonym.

I thought that too. However, this is a case study exclusively about calves. That said, the original does have various misspelt words... but that were easy to guess. Any other thoughts on what it might be?

Possible typo?

For "cerdito" (a piglet). The R and D keys are adjacent on my keyboard.

scours

Explanation:
Scours is the term generally used for diarrhea in calves and the germs that cause it could indeed come from another barn, especially since some cattle raisers get replacement calves from other herds if they lose some of their own.
