Coccidiosis
Coccidiosis is a costly intestinal disease caused by Eimeria spp.,
a coccidial parasite found in virtually all calves. About 95% of
cattle have subclinical coccidiosis, making diagnosis difficult.
Early prevention is key before performance is compromised.
• One of the top five most important diseases in the United States cattle industry1
• Causes multi-million dollar losses annually in the United States1
• The only ionophore approved to control coccidiosis in cattle starting at birth –
BEFORE clinical signs appear2
• Effectively fights and controls coccidiosis3
– Reduces oocyst shedding
by 97% when compared
to infected calves2
– Kills coccidia BEFORE
they damage the intestine
– Maintains health, feed intake, and
growth during the receiving period
• Increased palatability of Bovatec allows
you to reach the optimum coccidiosis control
level earlier in the calf’s life3,4
• Safe at up to 5X the highest approved level5
with one-half the toxicity of Rumensin in cattle.6
This gives the producer a much greater safety margin
