Cases and control farms were selected from 84 farms. A total of 11 control farms were asked in random order to participate until 10 farms could be enrolled. Each farm was visited once between November 2013 and March 2014. The corresponding author interviewed the farmer or the herdsman regarding herd management, assessed the general hygiene on the farm. Fecal samples were collected rectally from up to 15 calves and up to 5 cows in each herd.
