[QUOTE="Farmer Fin, post: 6989771, member: 110232"] It’s a pain of a disease. The oocytes (eggs if you like) can live in the soil for a long time. All calves lambs get it just depends on dose / strength of the calf. If you have one in a batch with it then you need to treat the lot as it will be holding the others back slightly lowering growth rates whilst they get natural immunity to it. Sucklers usually have to be drenched as they won’t take enough creep or licks to be effective, plus giving creep to that age calve is probably not cost effective. The risk with drenching is that the youngest calves may not have had a high enough exposure as they are not grazing enough yet to build enough immunity hence why you can get cases afterwards, it can also be a dosing issue as well. There are now several versions of decoxan which will bring the price of them all down. There is also Baycox which is a different drug and several versions of this. Both have pros and cons. [/QUOTE]
