If you click the top left hand button, a side menu will slide out. You should be able to get to your preferences that way or by clicking on your user name towards the bottom of the slide out menu? Lemme know how It goes, fox.

Well done Foxvalleyfarm!

 

[foxvalleyfarm]

I changed it. Not the one I wanted but I just entered that one in the CDM contest.

I had to use the desktop site.

sorry I was caught up off line

seems like you have a antibiotic.

cephlasporins are banned in poultry to prevent the build up of resistance in human bugs as they are first line defence in us. single use in a duckling wont change the world so go ahead.

tetrox would have been fine but making a super small amount is tricky

I have toltrazuril but use medicated feed. the only outbreak i had of cocci was when the staff changed and the amprolium was not mixed in.

I add copper sulphate to my animals water to act as a supplement and retard algae growth. The dosage on the package is for treeating symptomatic copper deficiency. I put a table spoon of copper suphate in 55 gallons of water every two weeks. My vitamin and mineral supplement i use as a premix in my feeds has CuSO4 as well as most other trace elements. I add extra selenium and zinc

Its actually cheaper because you use so little and only have to use it once. It kills all forms of Coccidia and it works very quickly. It only takes a day and its gone. Nothing compares to it. I just bought another bottle. I use it on goats and chickens. It was $46 with shipping. If you only use it for chickens, it will last years.

how do you know if you need to add copper sulphate>? symptomatic copper deficiency

I dont know if I have any deficiencys in my birds, I do though, my D level came back historically low, yeah ok doc, thats a new one, but when the temps get below 50 my self hermitizm doesnt help.

I could prob use it with pup litters as well.

TABLE 7-2 Signs of Deficiency in the Embryo

Nutrients

Deficiency Signs

References
Vitamin A

Death at about 48 hours of incubation from failure to develop the circulatory system; abnormalities of kidneys, eyes, and skeleton.

Asmundson and Kratzer, 1952; Thompson et al., 1965; Heine et al., 1985
Vitamin D

Death at about 18 or 19 days of incubation, with malpositions, soft bones, and with a defective upper mandible prominent.

Sunde et al., 1978; Narbaitz and Tsang, 1989
Vitamin E

Early death at about 84 to 96 hours of incubation, with hemorrhaging and circulatory failure (implicated with selenium).

Card et al., 1930; Latshaw and Osman, 1974
Vitamin K

No physical deformities from a simple deficiency, nor can they be provoked by antivitamins, but mortality occurs between 18 days and hatching, with variable hemorrhaging.

Griminger, 1964; Hauschka and Reid, 1978a
Thiamin

High embryonic mortality during emergence but no obvious symptoms other than polyneuritis in those that survive.

Polin et al., 1962; Charles et al., 1972
Riboflavin

Mortality peaks at 60 hours, 14 days, and 20 days of incubation, with peaks prominent early as deficiency becomes severe. Altered limb and mandible development, dwarfism, and clubbing of down are defects expressed by embryo.

Romanoff and Bauernfeind, 1942; Landauer, 1967
Niacin

Embryo readily synthesizes sufficient niacin from tryptophan. Various bone and beak malformations occur when certain antagonists are administered during incubation.

Snell and Quarles, 1941; Landauer, 1956; Caplan, 1972
Biotin

High death rate at 19 to 21 days of incubation, and embryos have parrot beak, chondrodystrophy, several skeletal deformities, and webbing between the toes.

Cravens et al., 1994; Couch et al., 1947
Pantothenic acid

Deaths appear around 14 days of incubation, although marginal levels may delay problems until emergence. Variable subcutaneous hemorrhaging and edema; wirey down in poults.

Kratzer et al., 1955; Beer et al., 1963
Pyridoxine

Early embryonic mortality based on antivitamin use.

Landauer, 1967
Folic acid

Mortality at about 20 days of incubation. The dead generally appear normal, but many have bent tibiotarsus, syndactyly, and mandible malformations. In poults, mortality at 26 to 28 days of incubation with abnormalities of extremities and circulatory system.

Sunde et al., 1950a; Kratzer et al., 1956a
Vitamin B12

Mortality at about 20 days of incubation, with atrophy of legs, edema, hemorrhaging, fatty organs, and head between thighs malposition.

Olcese et al., 1950; Ferguson et al., 1955
Manganese

Peak deaths prior to emergence. Chondrodystrophy, dwarfism, long bone shortening, head malformations, edema, and abnormal feathering are prominent.

Lyons and Insko, 1937
Zinc

Deaths prior to emergence, and the appearance of rumplessness, depletion of vertebral column, eyes underdeveloped, and missing limbs.

Kienholz et al., 1961; Turk, 1965
Copper

Deaths at early blood stage with no malformations.

Bird et al., 1963
Iodine

Prolongation of hatching time, reduced thyroid size, and incomplete abdominal closure.

Rogler et al., 1959a, b
Iron

Low hematocrit; low blood hemoglobin; poor extra-embryonic circulation in candled eggs.

Dewar et al., 1974; Morck and Austic, 1981
Selenium

High incidence of dead embryos early in incubation.

Latshaw et al., 1977​

You definitely could. Its only one dose. I give my baby goats a dose at 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks. As you know, the other things are 5 day treatments. Ill tell you a story. I bought a baby goat last year. The vet said it had so much coccidia that it would probably die. I gave it one dose of toltrazuril and it was better the next morning.
