Why
Feed A Coccidiostat?
-
Recent
surveys have identified coccidiosis as one of the 3 most serious health
problems in calves.
-
Calves
are most susceptible to coccidiosis from birth to 6 months of age.
-
Preventing
coccidiosis with Deccox in the starter and weaning stage can:
-
Increase
feed consumption
-
Improve
weight gains
-
Enhance
growth and development
-
Enhance
immune response to secondary infections
Preventing
coccidiosis with Deccox is the one way to make sure calves eat more, gain
better, and stay healthier allowing them to reach their full growth
potential.
Deccox
is also associated with decreased morbidity and mortality from respiratory
disease by eliminating the effects of coccidia on the immune system allowing
it to respond effectively to these secondary infections.
