Does Halocur work for you?

I might be wrong but I thought it was for crypto not coccidiosis

Used to be able to get deccox in feed with a vet prescription unless it’s changed drench will probably be cheaper though

We use deccox at preventative dose rate under prescription in the starter/rearer nuts. Deccoox also works as a growth promoter and so pays for itself. We used to use Vecoxan drench at 4-6 weeks then again 3 weeks later. On our farm Deccox is better. Vecoxan is better drenched. You know that they have all had the correct dose.

Tyrocol is best for cocci , it has residual action so stock get better immunity , made hell of a difference in young lambs thanks to advice on here , slightly less than double price of vecoxin but only needs one dose ,and gentler on stomach , needs to come though a vet though
