Baycox Coccidiocide For Piglet & Cattle 250ml

For the control of coccidiosis caused by Isospora suis in neonatal 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.

The mode of action of totrazuril against multiplying stages of the coccidian life cycle allows the infested animal to develop an immunity to future infections whilst effectively curbing the harmful effects of the current infection.

Baycox Piglet (5% Toltrazuril) provides highly effective control of neonatal swine coccidiosis in the form of a convenient treatment before clinical signs appear or harmful effects become established.

In piggeries affected by coccidiosis, a single oral treatment with 1 mL totrazuril (Baycox Piglet) per piglet at the age of 3 to 6 days has been found to yield excellent results. This "metaphylactic" treatment prevents appearance of clinical signs and production losses, whilst allowing the development of immunity. Intracellular stages of the parasite, damaged by toltrazuril, remain in the host cells for sufficient time to provide antigenic stimulus for the development of immunity to further infection.

Baycox Piglet coccidiocide 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. Baycox is effective in one dose because it attacks all stages of the parasite in the animal.

Toltrazuril, the active constituent of Baycox®, is active against all intracellular stages of coccidia. It interferes with the multiplication process and the energy pathways of the parasite. Baycox® Piglet treats and prevents clinical disease while allowing immunity to develop against coccidia.

Before using this product obtain a veterinary diagnosis for the cause of the diarrhoea. Clinical coccidiosis of piglets appears from 5-30 days of age. Control of the disease is most effective when Baycox is given as a preventative before intestinal damage occurs and diarrhoea begins. Therefore it is important to establish the correct cause of scouring in neonatal piglets, then treat all new litters at 3-6 days of age to control the disease.
