Corid Oral Drench Instructions

[TwoCrows]

I am sorry you are having this problem with cocci!

I would:

Treat all chickens with corid at the medium dose for 5 days once a month for several months

And try to figure out if there is a husbandry change that can be made to reduce cocci at your place.

I would also get litter life from southland organics and spray the coops and runs with it

Thanks so much Ron!!!

I like your way of thinking, I am going to try a once a month program for a while to hopefully rid her of these things and allow for immunity. I am not sure why but its always just 1 bird. A Barred Rock. She had a horrible case if it at 8 months old and since then she is so prone. Not sure if her immune system is weak or what. She has always been under weight and not the healthiest specimen.

I think the birds pick this up while free ranging. We have TONS of wild birds and doves who are known to be loaded with Cocci. The migrating birds to New Mexico have even suffered great losses due to Cocci. So I'm thinking of keeping my birds indoors from now on. I only have a few birds left in my flock now and they all have about 75 square feet per bird in the coop and run! I use wood mulch/bark for litter. I am so clean, I mean obsessive compulsive type of clean. I dare you to find 2 poops anywhere in my run. Would the mulch harbor parasites?

And do you have a gram scale?

Yes I do!!

 

[TwoCrows]

Which sulfa powder do you have? The 107 gram package?

Hang on, its up at the coop. Let me go see...

Ok I don't think this is going to be of much help. This is the only label on this container...

I THINK this came from Twin Cities Poultry.

Can you call them and ask for mg/gram? Or you could assume it's the same as Dimethox, which is 880 mg/gram. The dose I use is 50 mg/kg (23 mg per pound).

I used to have problems with cocci. A necropsy of an adult hen showed the presence of cocci in her. It was not the cause of death though.

Keeping them away from wild bird poop and treating for several months would help.

Litter life has been shown to reduce Salmonella, e coli and etc. in chicken house soil. It has good microbes in it that crowds out the bad stuff. I did not see coccidioses in the study they quoted but it should help

It makes it all smell better too

Check out the video:

I took a quick look on line at various sellers and nobody has this jar for sale. I will guess it came from a standard package of Dimethox and was repackaged by the seller. I am using 3/4 teaspoon per gallon right now, not quite full dose according to the dosing instructions.

I am definitely going to look into this Litter Life you are talking about. Can only make things better. And I'm going to watch this video right now!

@ronott1 Great video!! Love this guys facilites, I need huge barns like that.

The one thing I don't think my coop suffers from is ammonia. All my eaves stay wide open all year long even when its minus 5 outside. Air air and more air! I am huge on good ventilation. But it never hurts to add beneficial materials to bedding!! Its like using probiotics, the nasty toxins have a distaste for light oxygenated places!

Yes! Amazon sells smaller bottles of litter life. I use a hose end sprayer to dilute to the amount in the instructions.

I am going to use it in the coop and runs this weekend
