Efficacy against Coccidiosis Diarrhoea in Piglets
The efficacy of a single oral treatment with Baycox against neonatal diarrhoea caused by coccidiosis in piglets has been widely demonstrated in the experimental and field trials of several studies in various countries and under differing management and hygiene conditions.
The table below shows the results of some important efficacy trials.
| Country |
No. of animals |
Dose and day of treatment |
Efficacy (result of treatment compared with untreated control) |
| Denmark | 25 litters / group | 0-20 mg/kg bw 4th day of life |
Reduced oocyst excretion and distinct reduction of diarrhoea, better weight development |
| France | 25 litters / group (395 piglets in total) |
0-20 mg/kg bw 3rd - 5th day of life |
Reduced oocyst excretion and better weight gain |
| Germany | 6 litters / group | 0-20 mg/kg bw 2nd - 4th day of life |
Reduced oocyst excretion |
| Sweden | 29 litters / group | 0-20 mg/kg bw 4th day of life |
Reduced duration of diarrhoea; better weight development |
| Australia | ~ 1050 litters / group | 0-20 mg/kg bw 3rd - 6th day of life |
Reduced oocyst excretion, severity of diarrhoea, number of antibiotic treatments required; better weight development |
Treated piglets showed improvements regarding their clinical picture (diarrhoea was the most frequently noted criterion) and oocyst shedding. Also reported was a reduction in the number of antibiotic treatments required, more uniform herds at weaning age, and better weight gain in treated animals compared with untreated animals.
