[QUOTE="mjnetex, post: 880318, member: 13948"] We brought in coccidia about 20 years ago with dairy-cross calves, usually only a problem when we wean in the corral, which is really pretty clean and large, but one or more usually get it if we fail to use Corid in the water when we wean (and we wean gradually, virtually no stress, they nurse twice a day for several days, gradually cut down). We occasionally have a pasture calf get it, pretty rarely, but you must treat quickly, we use boluses of Sustain III. I watch all pasture calves carefully, didn't catch the first one til there was blood in the feces and she may have had permanent damage as a result. Have one seven month old bull calf that seems pre-disposed to having it, with age he should become immune. I don't think there is any way to get rid of it. Just watch for the dreaded "messy butt"! At least it's easy to cure. [/QUOTE]
