Baycox Coccidiocide Pig & Cattle

Baycox Coccidiocide for Pigs and Cattle is a long acting, easy-to-use, single-dose oral treatment for the control of coccidiosis in neonatal piglets and young cattle without impairing natural immunity development.

In pigs, Baycox controls coccidiosis caused by Isospora suis infection of young piglets. Isospora suis infection is a major cause of diarrhoea, dehydration, loss of appetite, poor growth, and occasional mortality in piglets between birth and 3–4 weeks of age.

In cattle, Baycox treats clinical coccidiosis and can aid in the prevention of coccidiosis in cattle up to 9 months of age caused by Eimeria bovis or Eimeria zuernii. Coccidiosis typically occurs in cattle less than a year old, causing diarrhoea, blood loss and poor absorption capacity. This results in reduced appetite and ability to convert feed, and a setback in growth.

Before you use this product, consult a veterinarian to obtain a diagnosis for diarrhoea.

Dosage and Administration

Give by mouth. Ensure the applicator is delivering a full dose before starting treatment. The applicator should be set to deliver a full dose per stroke.

Piglets: 1mL. Treat at 3 to 6 days old at the onset of coccidial diarrhoea. Treat all piglets in infected litters and all infected and 'at risk' litters in the farrowing house.

Cattle: 3mL per 10kg bodyweight. In the case of history of coccidiosis on your property, treat 1 week before expected onset of clinical signs. For prevention of coccidiosis in recently weaned calves, treat at weaning time when milk feeding ceases. Otherwise treat at the onset of diagnosed clinical signs.
