Could you elaborate on cryptosporidiosis in neonatal ruminants? Specifically, I'm interested in understanding the nature of this disease, its symptoms, transmission routes, and any potential implications for the health and well-being of young ruminant animals. I understand that it's a parasitic infection caused by the Cryptosporidium parasite, but I'd like a more comprehensive overview of its impact and how it's managed in veterinary practice. Is it a common occurrence? Are there any specific treatment options or preventative measures that veterinarians typically recommend? Thank you for your time and expertise in this area.
