[QUOTE="regolith, post: 980509, member: 9267"] rumensin or bovatec. Most antibiotics do nothing for coccidiosis. There's one called Tribrissen that has fixed calves for me. Product called Baycox - I've got an old container here it's 25grams/litre Toltrazuril. When I had calves on a property that had coccidiosis I was using a 50 ml dose directly down the throat of the affected calf, once. It was an offlabel use for cattle at the time (chicken med) but I think is now on-label and can also be used as a preventative by treating the whole calf mob. My main preventative is feeding a calf meal containing bovatec. As they get larger they need it at higher rates than I usually feed it, so I don't know if that would be enough on a property that got a lot of it, but I haven't seen coccidiosis apart from that one farm that I had calves on from 2003 - 2005. I've got a container of bovatec from that time with instructions to give 1 gram/100 kg/day down the throat daily for three days as a preventative - I had 50 calves at the time and you can be sure I complained bitterly to the vet about those instructions, feeding them meal is much easier. None of these preventative options will be available to organic cattle, the certifiers prefer them to get sick first. [/QUOTE]
