This article from Iowa State University discusses the issue of coccidia, a type of parasite that affects young pigs. The parasites damage the piglets' intestines, leading to diarrhea and increased mortality rates. The article explores different prevention and treatment strategies, including medication and thorough cleaning and disinfection. The researchers conducted a study using different treatments and found that both Ponazuril and a combination of Amprol and Sul-Q-Nox were effective in reducing coccidia infections in suckling pigs. The findings suggest that these treatments can lower coccidia proliferation, oocyst shedding, and the occurrence of diarrhea in young pigs. [Extracted from the article] |
