Baycox Cattle & Piglet is for the treatment and prevention of coccidiosis in cattle up to 9 months caused by Eimeria bovis or Eimeria zuernii.
Coccidiosis typically occurs in cattle less than a year old causing diarrhoea which is often blood stained.
Recently weaned calves are particularly susceptible to outbreaks of clinical disease.
One dose is effective because it attacks all stages of the parasite in the animal.
Metaphylactic treatment of Cattle & Piglets as soon as clinical signs of disease are seen will reduce the impact of an outbreak by preventing further intestinal damage in affected animals.
This treatment approach will also prevent non affected animals from developing diarrhoea.
To obtain maximum benefit on farms with a history of coccidiosis, the product needs to be given approximately 1 week prior to the expected onset of clinical signs.
Treatment of newly weaned calves at the time of meal withdrawal will control coccidiosis associated with weaning.
Product Benefits:
Convenient single oral dose for easy administration - follow up treatment is usually not necessary
Kills all coccidia development stages
Long acting to suppress oocyst excretion over 42 days
Efficacy is independent of the severity of the infection
Does not impair natural immunity development
Both curative and preventative to ensure production of high value replacements
Directions for Use:
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 per piglet at the age of 3 to 6 days has been found to yield excellent results.
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.

Common Questions
What animals is Baycox suitable for?
Baycox Cattle & Piglet is registered for treatment and prevention of coccidiosis in cattle up to 9 months of age and in piglets. It's particularly useful for recently weaned calves and young piglets that are susceptible to outbreaks of clinical disease.
How does Baycox work?
Baycox attacks all stages of the coccidia parasite in a single dose, making it effective as both a treatment and preventative. It also has a long-acting effect to help suppress oocyst excretion over an extended period, and it works regardless of how severe the infection is.
When should I use Baycox on my farm?
Baycox can be used as soon as clinical signs of coccidiosis (typically diarrhoea, often blood-stained) are seen. On farms with a history of coccidiosis, it's recommended to treat before the expected onset of clinical signs. It's also commonly used at the time of weaning. Always obtain a veterinary diagnosis for diarrhoea before using this product.
What are the withholding periods?
Withholding periods vary depending on the animal and end-use. Because this is a regulated agricultural chemical, you must check the product label carefully for the specific withholding periods that apply to your situation.

How do I administer Baycox?
Baycox is given by mouth using an applicator. Before starting treatment, ensure the applicator is delivering a full dose correctly. For exact dosing instructions for your animals' weight and age, refer to the product label or contact your veterinarian, as incorrect dosing may reduce effectiveness.
