Pharmacological properties: Coccidiocide. Toltrazuril is a triazinone derivative and acts against Isospora coccidia. It is effective against all stages of development of coccidia. Acts on parasites by destroying the shell, thus the action is coccidiocidal.
Indications: For the prevention of clinical symptoms of coccidiosis in newborn piglets in farms where coccidiosis has previously been diagnosed, caused mainly by Isospora suis.
The problem of coccidiosis: Livestock producers often suffer significant economic losses (death, increased feed costs per unit of production) without even suspecting that this is caused by various protozoa that affect vital organs of the animal and cause general intoxication of the body.
One such disease is coccidiosis. In pigs, the causative agent of coccidiosis is more often Isospora suis. This parasite has a very complex cycle of development, which takes place in the environment and in the intestines of the animal (namely in enterocytes). It is important that Isospora suis opens the way for secondary bacterial and viral infections, which are further diagnosed and considered diarrhea. A set of therapeutic measures against these (secondary) diseases is being carried out, but without success.
Clinical picture of coccidiosis: in suckling piglets diarrhea, or feces of pasty consistency whitish or cream color. There is an uneven development of piglets - sick animals at weaning about 1 kg less than healthy ones. More often coccidiosis proceeds in the chronic form at which there are no brightly expressed clinical symptoms.
The source of infection with coccidia are infected pregnant and suckling sows, as well as the environment, infection with oocysts. The higher the intensity of the infestation in the sow, the higher it is in the suckling piglets of this nest.
Oocysts are found in the feces for 7-8 days after infection. Mass reproduction of endogenous stages of eimeria and isospores in the intestines of piglets leads to catarrhal or hemorrhagic inflammation of its mucous membrane.
The use of Baycox® 5% in the prevention program allows you to achieve lethal condition as quickly as possible. Moreover, optimal feed conversion and productivity rates are observed. Supporting maximum daily growth also ensures uniformity of development, which increases the profitability of the pig farm.
