[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1609487, member: 24016"] Lucky, our vet ran some tests on some females for us this summer that looked like poor doers for no obvious reason and said they were infected with a protozoa that looks similar to Cocci and is acquired by ingesting unclean water. Vet said that particular protozoa itself did not generally kill the host, but stole their intake, so that if the host becomes ill or run-down from nursing, for example, they cannot take in enough calories to get ahead and basically starve to death. These were cows and heifers of varying ages, from coming yearlings to cows with calves at side and even some of the spring born calves. These cattle had been on various rental pastures over the last 2 years or so, with natural water sources (ponds, creeks, low springs, ect). Treatment advised was Corrid for 5 days and water access limited to clean auto waterers. Seemed to have worked like a charm. Have you every seen anything like this or know exactly what parasite he was referring to??? [/QUOTE]
