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.

Cattle:
3mL per 10kg bodyweight.

Common Questions
What is Baycox used for?
Baycox is a coccidiocide for treating and preventing coccidiosis in cattle up to 9 months old (caused by Eimeria bovis or Eimeria zuernii) and in piglets. It's particularly useful for recently weaned calves, which are especially susceptible to outbreaks of clinical disease.
When should I treat my cattle or piglets with Baycox?
For cattle with a history of coccidiosis on your farm, it's best to treat before you expect clinical signs to appear. For newly weaned calves, treatment at weaning time when milk feeding stops helps control coccidiosis. Otherwise, treat at the onset of diagnosed clinical signs. Always obtain a veterinary diagnosis for diarrhoea before using this product. Your vet or the TGRM team on (07) 5482 1692 can advise on the best timing for your situation.
Why is a single dose effective?
Baycox attacks all stages of the parasite in one dose, which is why follow-up treatment is usually not necessary. The product is also long-acting, helping to suppress oocyst excretion and reduce the spread of disease in your herd or litter.
What are the withholding periods?
Withholding periods vary depending on the animal and end use. Please refer to the product label for specific withholding periods for meat and milk, as well as export slaughter intervals. You can also contact TGRM on (07) 5482 1692 or visit 55 Tozer St, Gympie if you have questions about withholding periods for 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 and is set correctly. For detailed dosage instructions specific to your animals' weight and age, please consult the product label or speak with your veterinarian. The TGRM team can also help on (07) 5482 1692.
