dycoxan

Some of our weaned heifers (80 to 100 days old) have developed very loose, watery, grayish muck. Smells bad, not like normal muck. Current diet is 3kg calf cake + deccox (split 50/50 morning and afternoon), ad lib hay and barley straw. Vet has been out and taken samples, negative for cocci...

This is a thread for those who feel guilty about cluttering up dear old GUTH’s beloved price tracker with the chit chat that stop us all being that miserable our families would throw us all out to sit with the dog in the porch. All are welcome, you can even post prices if you want. The only rule...

Has anyone else been experiencing higher than normal, unexplained lambing losses this year?

What do folk recommend for the first dose at around 6 weeks old.

What are the thoughts on giving the 2 doses at the same time? I will be doing them with their first heptavac as well. To much all at once? Cocci does is a preventative measure. Had a bad touch of it last year in lambs

I winter shear my ewes around Christmas and so don’t shear now at this time of year. My ewes would have at least an inch of fleece on them now (some might have more). I usually apply a blow fly prevention around now due to not shearing. I have used click extra in previous years. It seems to be...

Ciarán Lenehan, Chanelle's Technical Specialist, advises on when is best to administer oral anti-coccidial drenches like Chanox (toltrazuril) or Dycoxan (diclazuril).

The first thing many farmers will refer to on hearing ‘coccidiosis’ is the characteristic bloody diarrhoea and straining. However, the problem with coccidiosis is that it is largely sub-clinical, so much of the time goes unnoticed on-farm. “A sub-clinical disease is one that disrupts...

So, I went abit daft... I've got 50 TexX ewes standing in isolation :bag: Iv also got another 20 aged TexX ewes running amongst my commercials I bought one year I was short of numbers... so there's 70 in total! The gimmers need vaccinated for Enzi. Got the vaccine this afternoon, doing them...
