Cocci

[Poultrybonkers]

How many times can the same batch of chicks get cocci?

The medication I use has instructions to dose for a week in drinking water (the chicks don't mind it at all) and then says that, for preventative measures, re-does every 2 weeks (I think if memory serves a reduced dose).
This suggests that coccidiosis can be a rolling problem...

I thought adults cant get it because they get immuned to it? And i have corid thought its treat for 3 days which i treat until gallon is gone

There are several different strains of the bug that can cause Cocci. Getting immunity to one strain does not give them immunity to the others. So they can get it every time they are introduced to a new strain.
