Although the potential for a major coccidiosis outbreak always exists, only about 5 percent of infected calves show signs of clinical infection.
The more costly threat is subclinical coccidiosis, which occurs in the remaining 95 percent. Before the outward signs of coccidiosis develop, performance can be severely compromised through lower feed efficiency/gain.
Preventing coccidiosis effectively and economically is one of the keys to successful calving, preconditioning and receiving programs.
We can help protect your investment with Deccox — not only by fighting the challenge of coccidiosis early in the calf’s life, but also by helping animals convert feed more efficiently.
Studies also show that adding Aureomycin can help cattle overcome stresses that trigger a coccidiosis outbreak.
