ToltraziUril Coccidia Preventative is used for the prevention of Coccidia, an internal parasite. Toltrazuril damages the intracellular developmental stages of Coccidia by affecting microgametes, schizonts, and macrogametes without damaging the cell tissue of the host animal.
Any use of a dewormer can result in the development of antiparasitic resistance. Resistance has been reported for most classes of dewormers. Proper dosing is critical to the safe and effective use of a dewormer. Many dewormers for food-producing animals (cattle, small ruminants, swine, and poultry) are given in feed or water to the entire herd/flock.
Underdosing may result in ineffective treatment and can increase the risk of antiparasitic resistance. Livestock producers and animal owners, together with their veterinarians, should monitor herds/flocks to determine the extent of antiparasitic resistance on a particular farm. Fecal examinations should be used to monitor resistance.
Dewormers should be used as only one part of an overall internal parasite control program. Using sustainable non-drug methods along with dewormers to control parasites may slow the development of resistance. Consult your veterinarian about using this product as a preventative with your goats.

Thanks for your support! Cheers!
Fresh bedding and regular three month field rotation will greatly reduce all intestinal parasites. I also supplement ERC and blackberry forage for my little herd. The dark tannic acids and pack fiber regulate gut health.
Thanks for the tips! Keep em coming!
Great information. Thank you for sharing.
A couple of useful things to know about coccidiosis in goats:
- Coccidia are everywhere, so your goats have coccidia, just like they have all kinds of bad bacteria in their digestive tract. In a healthy animal, these parasites are present, but under control. Just like those bad bacteria, they're harmless in small numbers, but when they get out of control and start to penetrate the body's defences, it's a big problem.
- Coccidia are vulnerable to tannin toxicity, so goats eating a lot of tree leaves are generally going to be much better protected than goats who're on a pellet, hay or grass diet. This isn't possible for all goat owners, since it's not commercially available and for anyone wanting to go down this route - be careful that the leaves that your goats are given access to aren't toxic to them. For goat owners without good tree forage, lucerne leaf is also a good source of tannins, so lucerne chaff as a fodder is widely available commercially and can be one natural and effective way to limit the appearance of coccidiosis.
It can still occur, but for a personal perspective: with a tannin rich diet, we didn't have a single case for the first ten years, with a breeding herd of about 150 animals. We lowered the tannin content of their diet and had half a dozen cases in the next 2 years. If a goat does have coccidiosis, Baycox Cattle is recommended - single dose at the cattle rate - I've had veterinary advice that it can be harmful if they have two doses less than 3 months apart (I'm not personally a vet and won't accept liability for any of this this information).
Totally agree about CORID. Almost lost my two babies to coccidia using CORID. Luckily my vet had a better medicine and saved them. Thank you fir making thus product available to your customers.
What did your vet use? (I know this comment was 2 years ago, lol)
My vet said to use Corid and by day 3 it’s worse! Ughhh
2 of my Nigerian Dwarf kids just got coccidia, I am trying to figure out the best thing to treatment for them. Thank you for the video. If you have any additional suggestions that would be great.
What is the dosage of toltrazuril for goats and sheeps? Please
Marc, this medication has saved a few of my goats. Thank you! My question is what would you recommend for the meat and milk withdrawal period following treatment?
Please what dosage did you give your goat and sheep? Thanks

Coccidia is a management problem.
I’m a veterinarian and also raise my own small ruminant flock.
I have never ever, had to treat even one baby for coccidia. And I test fecal egg parasite counts ALL the time. (I don’t have to deworm for trichostrongyles either - learn the life cycles of these parasites and move your animals accordingly so they don’t get infected in any significant way - just small enough #’s to develop immunity).
If you structure your farm, pasture, and housing so that multiple contact w the same mucky ground is minimized, your problem will go away. Nature-mimicking movement is the way to go.
Yeah, it’s more work. But that’s what it takes when we have domestic animals in fenced areas.
Thanks. Can or do I give CDT with toltrazuril?
How often do you rotate your pastures? And would it be enough, if I would clean the pasture in which they are living in (every few days, get the poop out) ?

ok the following is a bunch of general rules; tweak for your climate and land and species. read up on the life cycle of the problem parasites you are trying to avoid, so that you understand when/why to move your animals, and you understand better what i am saying below. You are also moving your animals to avoid stressing your pastures, and these two factors (parasite infectivity and grass length and growth) tend to coincide very well.
It's also how wild animals live and graze-- they are always moving, never overgrazing or over-crowding. We are essentially doing nature-mimicking actions.
Use portable electric fencing to control where your animals go, where NOT to go, how they get there (the paths they use), and how long they stay.
Move animals every 2-3 days to new grazing and make sure that the grazing areas they are in are ready to graze (grass is mature enough--look that info up), that the area sizes can handle the number of animals you have, and for that amount of time. Otherwise, to avoid ruining your pasture (your most valuable asset), you will need to move them sooner, or make the areas bigger. The grass should not be grazed shorter than 4-6 inches. The animals should not return to the same area for 2-3 months, even longer, depending on your climate. if more humid, that time to return is on the longer side, as the infective stage of the parasites lives longer...If you are in a desert, you may be able to use the shorter end of that time frame...
Make sure your animals travel on new paths frequently, not the same muddy ones. Allow these path areas to rest and "heal" up. For any areas that are difficult to avoid, and highly traveled, use piles of woodchips renewed frequently, or use different structures that you can rotate through so that different paths can be used and well-travelled areas can have time to rest, heal up, and the organisms there die off.
For where your animals are ''living'' as you termed it, they should not ever be ''kept'' in a barn or corral (should only be for resting at night or when bad weather); they should be free to go to their grazing area when they choose, or even stay out there if water and minerals are always available there. For their resting quarters, it should ALWAYS be dry (coccidia and parasites LOVE wetness and crowding), with *thick* new bedding on top of the old (can use old hay/straw and wood chips) to reduce wetness and organisms. Daily if need be!
Reduce the number of animals you have for that space if you cannot keep it dry and clean, and odor-free.
If you need to "clean up" a pasture, let it go ungrazed for at least a full year, if not more, or use a different, non-susceptible grazing species for a year. I don't recommend ''picking up the manure in pastures'', because it's valuable stuff and is best used in the ground for fertility and pasture regrowth.
We are always trying to put back in with manure, what we take out with grazing. But not too much of either.
Do you know of some good literature on the coccidiosis?
Since most do have some in them… what constitutes a high count? When do you know you should treat?
Thanks for the information is it something you should give yearly to keep them clear i only have 2 9mth old pet goats that appear healthy
No For the most part coccidia is controlled by a goats natural immune system. It usually only affects the younger ones. So I would never treat an adult and less they tested with a large load of coccidia. As far as babies up to a year old they should be treated preventatively.
Hi Mark, Love your videos... I look at your site but it only has info on dosing for horses. I just had two get it and had to treat one with banamine he was worse than the other with a fever. now he is on his second prescription of sulfa. can you share what dosing you use for goats?
Thanks,
Dave
3ml/100 for preventative and 5ml/100 for treatment.

Please how often do you give for prevention and how often do you give for treatment??
Would this be good for babies around 8-12 weeks coming to a new home and what’s the dosing information
It is dosed at 3 mL per hundred pounds for prevention and 5 mL per hundred pounds for treatment. And yes it would be great for babies of that age
My 4 goats are a year old . They do not have diarrhea but have been diagnosed with coccibia. What do you use for adult diagnoses?
I would only treat if their levels are high. It’s pretty normal to have some. But if your egg counts are low work more on their nutrition and health.
Hello, I’m not seeing the preventative medicine that you’re talking about on your website. Also the link that you shared isn’t working
Yes sorry it’s no longer available through us
Do you know where we can purchase?
I thought cd and t was for that
Nope, not at all. Cdt is a completely different thing thing
