For what diseases is Baycox used

The medicine is used for the prevention and treatment of coccidiosis (eimyriasis) in all groups of poultry.The disease is widespread in young chickens, with a low level of hygiene. A bird becomes infected with coccidia through a dirty litter, the carriers are ill specimens and wild birds.

Chickens kept on mesh floors do not get coccidiosis.

Parasites multiply in the stomach and intestines, disrupting the functioning of the digestive organs. Coccidiosis not only weakens chickens, but can lead to their death. The main symptom of the disease is brown diarrhea with an admixture of blood in a bird. When the dead individuals are opened, an inflamed intestine with numerous small hemorrhages on the walls is visible, the liver is covered with white small nodules.

Baycox effectively destroys parasites without adversely affecting the he alth of young animals. For greater effect, it is recommended to give the medicine to livestock in combination with vitamin preparations (Chiktonik, Gamavit) and probiotics (Vetom).

Instructions for use and dosage

Depending on the age and breed of the bird, the dosage of the medicine varies slightly. The drug is added to drinking water so that all livestock have the opportunity to use the medicine.

Weakened individuals are forced to inject the working solution inside through the beak. Baycox is given as a course, in no case, without interrupting treatment even after a noticeable improvement in the condition of the bird.

For chickens

Young egg and meat-and-egg breeds of chickens are given Baikoks as a prevention of coccidiosis, starting from 2 weeks of age. The prophylactic dose of the drug is 1 ampoule (1 milliliter) per 1 liter of water. Water with medicine is given to chickens for 2 days in a row, with a break for the night, pouring a fresh solution on the second day.

If young animals suffer from eimeriosis, they have the following signs of the disease:

• bloody or red-brown diarrhea;
• ruffled feathers;
• lethargy and lack of appetite;
• stunting.

Chickens are given medicine at a dose of 7 milliliters per 1 kilogram of live weight of the chick, or 3 milliliters per 1 liter of boiled clean water. Baycox for the treatment of eimeriosis is also added to drinking water, calculating the dosage according to the number of young animals.

If the chicken is weak and does not show interest in the drinker, the medicine is poured into its beak from a pipette or syringe without a needle. The course of treatment is 2 days, after 5 days the young are soldered again.

After feeding Baycox chickens, they need to restore the intestinal microflora and strengthen the body. To do this, a complex water-soluble vitamin (Chiktonik, Aminovital) is added to drinking water for 5 days.

At the same time, Vetom powder is added to food or water, which can be replaced with natural yogurt or yogurt.

For broilers

Broiler chickens grow rapidly and are more susceptible to intestinal parasites than normal chickens. Broilers are given Baycox as a prophylactic on day 14 after hatching and on day 35 if the stock is kept on a solid floor.
