For the prevention of coccidiosis in cattle (ruminating and non-ruminating calves and veal calves) by Eimeria bovis and E. zuernii
Feed at the rate of 2 lbs per 100 lbs of bodyweight to provide 22.7 mg Decoquinate per 100 pounds of body weight (0.5 mg/kg) per day. Feed at least 28 days during period of exposure to coccidiosis or when it is likely to be a hazard.
Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects.
Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals.
Follow these management practices:
1. Monitor body condition of cattle on a regular basis.
2. Recommended feeding rates should be adjusted depending on cattle body condition.
3. When making a ration change, allow 7 to 10 days for animals to adjust to the new ration.
4. Provide adequate feeder space for each animal.
5. Provide mineral and salt free choice.
6. Provide fresh, clean water near the feeding area.
In groups of cattle, there are certain animals that experience chronic bloat or other digestive disturbances and consequently, are poor performers. In addition, excess feed consumption, severe weather changes resulting in erratic feed consumption and poorly managed feeding practices can increase the incidence of bloat in all cattle. If bloat occurs, please review feed management practices.
