That is interesting. I will have to ask my vet about that, he had recomended it to me to use. I have been using it for several years and I have never had any problems. But I will have to look into it more. It does help in some situations though.

how old are these calves? Do there bums have a black matt look? How much blood is in the manure? It does sound like coccidiosis to me but never sure for a fact. Some people say it doesn't do anything, but try and give 120cc of peptobimol twice a day oraly, and revibe 2 twice a day oraly and...
