Treatment with toltrazuril in a natural outbreak of coccidiosis in calves

Dtsch Tierarztl Wochenschr. 1991 Sep;98(9):343-5.

Abstract

Treatment with toltrazuril (Baycox) in calves naturally infected with several enteropathogenic agents resulted in a reduction in the mean number of Eimeria oocysts shed. The mean faecal consistency for the treated calves also differed significantly from that of the untreated calves. There was virtually no difference in weight gain in the two groups.
