Elanco Baycox 5% 250ml

Baycox Coccidiocide for Pigs and Cattle is an easy-to-use, one-dose oral treatment for the control of coccidiosis. Baycox Coccidiocide contains Toltrazuril, an active constituent which destroys all intracellular stages of the pathogen’s life cycle in the intestine, without impairing their ability to acquire lifelong natural immunity against coccidia.

For 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 to 4 weeks of age.

For cattle: Baycox is for the treatment of clinical coccidiosis, and as an 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 using this product, obtain a veterinary diagnosis for diarrhoea.

Dosage: 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 – 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 farm, 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.
