Coccidiosis is a costly disease impacting on lamb and calf performance.

Coccidiosis is a disease of the intestinal tract caused by a microscopic parasite from the family Eimeria spp – the eggs are ingested, invade cells in the gut lining and multiply, eventually causing the cells to burst. When this happens, more eggs are released – some invade cells as before and some are excreted in dung.

The latter contaminate the environment, presenting a source of infection to other animals. Contaminated water, the skin of dam’s udders and feed troughs are common routes for the spread of coccidiosis.

There are 20 different species of coccidia in cattle and sheep, not all species of coccidia are pathogenic:

In lambs:

Only two are known to cause disease:

• Eimeria ovinoidalis.

• Eimeria crandalis.

In calves:

Three cause disease:

• Eimeria zuernii.

• Eimeria bovis.

• Eimeria alabamensis.

Coccidiosis in Lambs

In general, lambs are most at risk from 4-8 weeks of age. Treat with a single dose of Coxicert® at about 4- 6 weeks at the time the coccidiosis can normally be expected on farm.Under conditions of high infection pressure, a second treatment may be indicated about 3 weeks after the first dosing.

Signs of clinical disease:

• Straining.

• Weakness.

• Anaemia.

• Dehydration.

Signs of subclinical disease:

• Reduced weight gain.

• Poor appetite.

Coccidiosis in Calves

Calves are most at risk from 3 weeks – 6 months of age. Treat with a single dose of Coxicert®14 days after moving into a potentially high risk environment, or 7 days in advance of expected symptoms.

Coxicert® prevents coccidiosis by killing parasites already in the gut and reducing environmental contamination by limiting oocyst excretion.

Treats lambs and calves and helps to prevent further contamination of the environment.

A single oral dose – easy to administer.

No meat withdrawal.

Dectomax™ Injection

Dectomax™ Injection for cattle delivers broad spectrum cover for stomach, gut and lungworm, whilst treating sucking lice and mange mites (sarcoptic and psoroptic mange). It is administered as a subcutaneous injection and has persistency against

Cooperia oncophora (21 days)
Lungworm (Dictyocaulus viviparus) (35 days)
Ostertagia ostertagi (35 days)

To obtain optimal benefits from Dectomax™ Solution for Injection, it is recommended that cattle should be treated at turnout and eight weeks later. Studies1 have demonstrated that, used in this way, Dectomax™ will reduce the build-up of infective larvae on pasture and can protect animals from parasitic gastro-enteritis and parasitic bronchitis throughout the grazing season. To obtain these results, all animals must be included in the programme and untreated cattle must not be introduced on the pasture. Treatment with Dectomax™ at turn-out and eight weeks later of cattle set-stocked for the grazing season can protect against clinical disease caused by lungworm and may allow the development of naturally acquired immunity.

Essential Cattle Bolus

Essential Cattle Boluses gives you 180 day peace of mind trace element cover with the latest eroding bolus technology. Cattle will receive all the vital trace elements they need for optimum health and performance.

One simple Essential Cattle Bolus application provides a consistent supply of trace elements through the key production stages maximising growth, fertility and health. The unique Essential formulations deliver precise daily amounts of Selenium, Cobalt and Iodine with the option of added Copper. Furthermore we offer the cost effective options of an Adult range for animals 400kg+ and Growing Cattle range for animals 200-400kg. One application per animal allows an accurate budget to be made for 180 days trace element cover without any worries over variable intake.

Clinical signs of trace element deficiency are usually merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to trace element deficiency where deceptively healthy animals and sub-clinical issues brewing can cause much more significant financial and production issues. A blood test or forage analysis allows an early diagnosis of deficiency and allows you to select the best option from the Essential bolus range to help combat potential issues.

When discussing health plans with farmers there are a number of red flag issues which may well be signs of trace element deficiency, beware of any of the below and use the Essential bolus range to your advantage.

Low Copper can lead to reduced growth, depressed immunity and poor reproductive performance, untreated anaemia, lameness, scouring and even death can follow. Beware of farms with high levels of molybdenum or other heavy metals in forage that can lock up copper availability.
Low Iodine can cause reduced fertility, poor weight gain and ill thrift also late abortions, still birth, floppy calves, perinatal mortality, reduced colostrum and milk quality as well as metabolic disorders and increased susceptibility to disease and parasitism.
Low Selenium can cause white muscle disease, increased incidence of still birth and reduced fertility. Intricate in the development of the immune system and response to vaccination low selenium reduces calf health and vigour.
Low Cobalt depresses appetite and generally manifests as signs of ill thrift, cobalt is essential for the synthesis of B12 and metabolism of forage. Beware of confusing physical signs of cobalt with other issues such as parasites.

Why should you be considering using boluses in your livestock over this period? The message is simple:

For pre-calvers, Essential Cattle boluses ensure trace elements are available for foetal development in the late stage of pregnancy and through to service
Essential Cattle boluses are also suitable at turn-out for breeding cows and Essential Copper is ideal for young stock going on to copper deficient pastures
