[QUOTE="Dairyfarmerswife, post: 8104700, member: 52378"] I have replied on your other thread but I've just had a nightmare with crypto and lost way too many calves (more than you) Touch wood I think I'm over the worst but for me the things which helped were: Halocur, but took a while to work and didn't really help until I blanket treated everything as soon as it had colostrum rather than waiting 24 hours (on vets recommendations) Stopping putting calves in the affected shed/pens. It must be absolutely riddled with it. Then being really strict about wearing different waterproofs, wellies, gloves, and using different feeders in the new shed. I did have a scouring calf in there which worried me but when tested it was rotavirus which the vet said should improve with rehydration and it has. Moving affected calves into bigger group housing and feeding on the trailer feeder. They still scoured but have got over the crypto all bar one. I think the space seems to have helped. When I say bigger groups, they are in mobs of 40. They aren't perfect and I've had the odd one blowing but they look much better. We did antibody tests too and all were fine, even affected calves which subsequently died. [/QUOTE]
