[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 820090, member: 694"] Very common through fecal contamination of water or feed source. From the Merck manuel Coccidiosis is commonly a disease of young cattle (1-2 mo to 1 yr) and usually is sporadic during the wet seasons of the year. “Summer coccidiosis” and “winter coccidiosis” in range cattle probably result from severe weather stress and crowding around a limited water source, which concentrates the hosts and parasites within a restricted area. Although particularly severe epidemics have been reported in feedlot cattle during extremely cold weather, cattle confined to feedlots are susceptible to coccidiosis throughout the year. Outbreaks usually occur within the first month of confinement. The incubation period is 17-21 days. As Dun said you have the cows laying down in infected areas. [/QUOTE]
