Key Points

To evaluate the diagnostic performance of rapid tests compared to PCR for detecting enteric pathogens in pre-weaned goats.
Incorporated multiple types of enteric pathogen analyses.
Utilized statistical methods to assess accuracy and effectiveness.
Rapid tests showed a diagnostic accuracy rate of 85% (95% CI, 80-90) compared to 95% (95% CI, 92-97) for PCR.
Sensitivity for rapid tests was 80% with a specificity of 90%, while PCR sensitivity was 95% with 98% specificity.
The p-value for the difference in diagnostic performance was <0.001.
