Diclazuril 5% Liquid Solution for Cattle

Description

Diclazuril Liquid Solution is a highly effective anticoccidial treatment designed to prevent and control coccidiosis in cattle​, particularly in young animals such as calves. This condition, caused by the protozoan parasites Eimeria bovis and Eimeria zuernii, can lead to severe gastrointestinal distress, diarrhea, dehydration, and stunted growth. Diclazuril works by inhibiting the development of these parasites, thereby reducing oocyst shedding and minimizing intestinal damage

Common Symptoms of Coccidiosis in Cattle

Coccidiosis can manifest in various ways, and the symptoms may vary depending on the severity of the infection. Common signs include:

• Diarrhea (often watery or bloody in severe cases)

• Poor weight gain or weight loss

• Dehydration (due to diarrhea)

• Fever or increased body temperature

• Loss of appetite and lethargy

• Swollen abdomen in some cases

If you notice these symptoms in your cattle, it is crucial to treat the infection promptly to avoid long-term damage to their health and productivity.

If you notice any of these symptoms in your cattle, it’s essential to consult a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment.
